I bought a 2538 hst about 7yrs. ago, and selected a Mahindra tractor because at the time they were about the only dealer that offered compact tractor without dpf exhaust and regen system. However, at the time the dealer told me to run the tractor at least 1800 - 2000 rpm to keep the exhaust...

I recently purchased an RK25 and today attempted to install my Titan brand pallet forks that I've used for years on my Mahindra 2538. To my surprise they wouldn't attach as either (1) the mounting slots to receive the pins on the forks is about an inch too wide or (2) the location of the pins...

Thinking about purchase of an rk25 to use for mowing with a three point six foot finishing mower to replace my old 9n ford. Does anyone use a 6 foot finishing mower behind their rk24 or rk25, and what is your assessment? Does it have acceptable power to get the job done? I'm talking about...

I have a 2538 HST, which is a hydro unit, and have a few questions for those in the know. Tractor has been a pleasure to use. 1) Will be changing hydraulic fluid and filters before too long. Besides the regular filter, there is a metal strainer on right side by the axle that is supposed to be...

I have a 2538 hst that has been very reliable and a joy to use. The other day I could not get it out of 4 wheel drive. It has been somewhat difficult to push the 4 wheel adjustment lever back down, had to find just the right spot by going forward / backward. But worked with it for about 20...
