Machine = Ventrac 4500P Engine = Kawasaki 31HP Digital Fuel Injection ("P") Optional Foot Pedal Optional Arm Rests Dual Wheel Kit Tough Cut Mower Deck 72" Side Discharge Finish Mower Reason For Purchase: my wife and I maintain a 300 acre farm in western Pennsylvania with slightly more than...

After not a lot of looking, we pulled the trigger on a new 4500P with the "Tuff Cut" deck. I think I'm going to have to arm wrestle the wife in order to get some seat time...

I've had my 85 for 3 years now and have had it "runaway" twice. Fortunately, it managed to shut down after 20-30 seconds (assume it finally stopped sucking engine oil through the turbo). Anyone else ever have this problem?

I'll make this short.... My daughter got six baby ducks for Easter. My wife and daughter got the idea that we would raise a small plot of field corn (150-feet by 50-feet) for feed during the winter. I know, I know, it would likely be easier to just go and buy the corn already shelled. But...

Talked with my local dealer today. He mentioned that Mahindra was planning to come out with a 100HP machine by the end of July 2012 and then a 125 & 150 next summer? Has anyone else heard this rumor? Better yet, anyone have any pictures?

So I went out to start my 7060 this morning. Within 5 seconds of turning the key to energize the engine heater, the "Service" light turned on and a siren started continuously buzzing. I thought, "You've seriously got to be kidding me." This tractor has 49 hours on it, and is barely 5 weeks...

I've had my 7060 for about 3 weeks now - just over 30 hours on it. I noticed that when I first start the machine, it tends to idle just fine. However, after I've had it running for a while, under load, it does NOT like to idle any lower than 1700 - 2000 RPMs. Never had this problem before on...

I've got about an hour of operation on my new 511 Backhoe - the first thing that stood out (almost immediately), was that there isn't a float position on this unit. Am I missing something?

I see that a few of the Mahindra owners have a fiberglass canopy attached to the ROPS. I'm trying to finish the specs for a new 7060 and was thinking about adding a similar canopy with attached worklights. However, after a couple hours of doing web searches, it appears that the nicer canopies...

$3400 a fair price? Any horror stories with this make/model? Any happy users?

Simple question: how does the boom on the 511 backhoe swing; with opposing hydraulic cylinders or via a single hydraulic cylinder connected via chain? I've got a 3716 backhoe that swings via a single cylinder which is connected to the boom via a chain - not real crazy about the design.

Have been thinking about upgrading to a bigger machine for a few months now. I currently have a Mahindra 3215HST TLB, and was going to pursue a 5035HST TLB. Talked to a local dealer yesterday and he's made me a very attractive offer on a 7060 TLB. I've looked around the forums and haven't...

3215 HST : 564 hours Within 30 seconds of using the backhoe this morning, I lost all hydraulic pressure in both the loader and the backhoe. Still have hydraulics for the transmission. Hydraulic fluid and filters were changed about a year ago. Thoughts on potential issues?

Live in Western Pennsylvania, where the hills are sometimes more than "rolling". Specifically, after having survived a tractor rollover a few years back, I was pretty convinced that I wanted to purchase a New Holland TK4000 (tracked) series. New Holland dealer called back and said that those...

Just noticed that the expansion bottle on my 2008 3215HST looks a little low. All the manual says is to basically have a high boiling point, no more than 50% ethylene glycol solution. That said, anybody see anything wrong with just putting the ready-mix 50/50 Prestone in the tank?

So here is the problem.... I'm ready to change the hydraulic fluid in my 3215HST. Last week I went to my dealer to get the filters and Universal Tractor Fluid (UTF). Got the filters and one (1) 5-gallon bucket of Gulf brand UTF. When I got home, I noticed 1.) that I actually need 8 gallons...

I was on the Mahindra USA site the other day checking out the new 35 series and noticed the advertisement for the line of diesel trucks Mahindra plans to bring to market later in 2009. I currently own a little 5-speed Ranger (2-wheel) drive and can honestly say its been the best vehicle I've...

Last Sunday I had the misfortune of riding my 3215 (that I purchased on Easter weekend and which only had 80 hours) over a ten-foot high embankment into a field stream. I was using the bucket of my unit to haul fence posts around the property as I put them in with a sledge. I was running...

I've just purchased a 3215 HST with Quick Attach Loader and Backhoe. With summer right around the corner, I'm ready to purchase some more "toys". I've got a few questions for the forum. 1. Would you recommend the Mahindra brand brush hog? 2. What is the appropriate size brush hog for a...

Any thoughts on the financing rates for April on the 2815 models? With recent Fed cuts, I'm hoping to get something lower than 3.99% on 5-years. In reality, I'd rather see 0% - I'm sure that would give sales a push.

I'm thinking real hard about purchasing a brand new 2006 3215 HST TLB. It's been on the dealer's lot since 8/2006 and has less than 5 hours on the machine. Aside from worrying about the condition of the fuel line, what else should I be worried about? I'm also concerned about the engine seals...

After almost 9 months of searching, researching, and wringing my hands, I think I'm finally ready to take the plunge and purchase a new machine. The new toy is going to be a 2815HST TLB with skidstear loader and a 16" bucket on the hoe. Question: is $22,000 a decent price? Locally, it can't...
