Just heard about a hydrogen car made by Honda. In limited production by 09 or there about. The real thing here is Honda is working on a little hydrogen plant that can be a home model. I guess it's the long way around because you will not see big oil promoting this fuel. I read it would be...

When oil goes up so high things change. One thing I think we under estimate is the amount saved by buyers exchanging big 4 wheel drives for small vehicles. If only 10% of the (would have been 4 wheel drives) are converted, at trade in, to 25 - 30 mpg cars the savings in gas has to be in 10s of...

Just went over to TYM site. Not sure which, but it was the one with 0% interest for selected models. Question; which TYM is the sister to the 4110? One thing interesting over there. I was able to start a download of operators manual for the machine that looks like mine. Mahindra never used to...

Would the 4110 ride a lot better if I had water in wheels? Decided to do a fast cut on my grass tonite. Most rough spots I know and slow down to idle as I coast thru. Sometime don't slow fast enough. Bounce bounce bounce ....probably cut too fast andshook tractor loose. Now I have a kink in...

Ain't that something. Heard on news; best quarter ever. Shoulda bought some stock. Cheers....Coffeeman

Just reading and thinking. My father drove till he was in his 80s. One day I was visiting and he was returning from his daily run into town for lunch. He pulls into his driveway and I was right behind him. I walked over to his car and he was doing something in front seat. He drove a big Chevy...

Probably the first mistake I made is consulting operator manual. Book says: 1. Drain oil from left and right drain plugs. 2. Replace and check plugs. 3. Fill with new oil to the correct level in the filler hole. Book calls for 2.32 gal oil. The tractor has...

Hi all, I have a covered wooden pavillion. I have a snake living under there. I'm going to guess others might live under there. I really have heard how "good" snakes are, but having a snake come out with guests over an a Sunday afternoon might not go over well. Also, I don't like them. I am...

We have a local chain of gas & grocery stores. They have at least 100 locations. Today they offered e85 for $2.57. The, all gas, gas was at $2.77. Guess what? If I had a car that would run that e85 I would be the first in line. Cheers.....Coffeeman

I just cut about 40 acres of heavy brush and small trees. I was a little worried at first. The BB is 1280 pounds and the machine makes the front wheels of tractor lift from too much weight while lifting the cutter. But, not being the smartest person in the world, I forged on. Didn't get any...

Hi all Hit a chunk of iron tonight. The cutter stopped fast. I shut down pto. Pulled iron out and noticed one of the two blades was moved out of way and stopped over the round disk blades bolted to; moved about 60 degrees and out of cutting path. Looked in the manual and got no idea what to...

Have a hill next to driveway. Want to plant something that will take no maintence and keep away weeds. When to the local big box (Lowes) and they said they don't sell crown vetch anymore. That's what I was going to use. They had some suggestions, but I thought I'd check here first. Of course...

I just used brush hog to cut about 15 acres. Lots of small trees. I imagine about a 1000 small animals are having a town meeting and have put out a contract on me for slashing their homes and kicking them out of town. i was thinking a simple attachment like a cow catcher would be nice when...

Just realized it. Mowing into dark and switched lights on, "hey, where's my rear light?" I guess rear light is an extra? Cheers....Coffeeman

Still reading the Mahindra manual. The manual says don't mount or dismount tractor from right side? I most always use the left side. I don't know why. The tractor seems to be just as easy to mount from either side. What would the safety reason be? Do other brands mention this...

Hi all Just reading that operators manual and came across the note on warm up. They suggest cold starts above 50 F; you should let engine warm up 5- 10 min. Start up at 50 F to 32 F calls for 10 - 20 min. and more for colder. If it's 50 - 60 I'll give it a min. or two and I'm off at an easy...

Hi all Can anyone guess if this sounds ok. When cruising along with rotary cutter running I hear a whine in pto. About 1/2 speed not much load hit a bump and err..err..err...err...err. Sounds like an old manual trans pickup as it lobs over a hill and sort of coasting on level. When I shut...

Hi all How do you save a portion of previous post to the posting section when answering post? Cheers...Coffeeman

Just came from Sams Club. Cooking oil about $2.50 a gallon. I would guess Diesel is right around there or maybe a little cheaper. I have seen those stories about people using old cooking oil to run their cars. One guy says his car runs better on old french fry oil rather than diesel. An extra +...

Happy holidays to all First and most important for me was watching kids and grandkids open gifts today. Family together on Christmas is important to me. Starting at about 11 am in morning and untill about 2pm. Lots of people and noise. Then the idea came to me. It's up to 40 degrees and the...

It\'s 14 degrees and going lower It a little quiet here in Mahindra land. So....a queation. I feel sorry for my Mahindra in the cold. I wonder if I should take a couple electric blankets and warm up Mahindra. My old buddy is freezing. Might have to build a garage in spring. Cheers.....Coffeeman

Hi all Just redid a Farmall C that sat for years. Got it running and cleaned and painted it up. Runs like a clock. Even got a new seat, tires and one new rim. Used it with a sickle bar for most of summer. One day while mowing, the base that holds the seat came loose. Driver was going up hill...

A few weeks ago i was wondering what I might use to smooth a large section of land to plant grass. I got a lot of good suggestions right here. Thought I'd pass along what I did. Disked the land real smooth. Bought an old 10 foot wide disk for $100. Must have been made in the 50s. Bearings...

Hi all I was wondering if I should use 4 wheel drive always while in field. I guess pulling a disk or a big brush hog in not so smooth soil would be a good idea to use. How about when pulling finish mower on level ground? Would it be less wear and tear to take out of 4 wheel drive position...

Hi all I get a little sad to see the jobs all going out of the country. As an old dog it still bothers me. Heck, I have never bought a foreign car yet. Of course I'd bet my good old USA ride has a lot of foreign parts. By the way, I'm an American car hold out, but I have a Mahindra...

Hi all Pulling a tree to the "burn pile". Tractor is parked indifferent spot than usual to unhook tree. Unhooked chain, split second decision and off through high weeds to right instead of usual left out of there. As I started in I thought, what a mistake. Pop.... hisssss; backed out and...

Son-in-law just got a couple 5 gals of Traveller hydraulic oil at a store called Tractor Supply. The weight is 10 - 20. The can makes no mention of Mahindra. The closest thing is Deer and Kubota. Can says good for systems sharing all oil between trans and hydraulic system. Tractor manual...

Hi all Has anyone set up golf holes on their property. I was thinking my yard might have enough room for 4 greens; 2 heading south and 2 heading north. I'm not a golfer, but if I had a place to play in back yard, I might try the game. Also, It might enhance the sale of my property if I want...

I know this one is a dumb question. Is there any attachment that can be drug behind tractor that will roll blacktop? Cheers .... Coffeeman

Hi all On an older 4110 has directions printed on hydraulic filter. They say to "clean" filter and magnet after 50 hr then every 100 hours of operation. I Happened to glance at a new 4110 when picking up some parts. Directions on filter housing says to change filter every 300 hours. No mention...

An update on bat in my daughters house. Talked with Pa health department; if bat found flying in bedroom while anyone sleeping they recomend rabies shots. Bat bites are hard to find sometime. A sleeping baby would never know if bitten and bite might not be found. A few people die from rabies...

Hi all Someone mentioned in, a previous post, John Deer has tractor manuals on line. I have been over to Mahindra site and I don't think they have anything on line, either free or for sale. Just checking to see if I got it right or if I missed something. It would be nice if owners and repair...

Hi all While posting a message I noticed some movement and there it circled, a bat. I haven't had one in house for a few years. In the last week my daughter and two people at work got bats in their house. What's the best way to get them back out? I tried opening doors and windows to let it fly...

Hi all In reading posts I get the idea it is likely to have problems like; clutch, pto or bolts and engines falling apart because not put together right. All in about 300 hours or less. Also, it seems maintance items like filters and of course parts must come from dealer. Gee, I remember...

Hi all Have disked a few acres of land for lawn grass. My idea is to get RR ties and drag disked soil to smooth out soil. Next is scatter seed in fall. if late in season will not need straw and grass should be ready in spring. Also I was thinking section of chain linkfence might work better...
