After a few years in the city, our family is about to get back to the country- 125 acres of about 70% woods, 30% pasture. Looking for a tractor to handle the following the jobs: (1) Rough cutting grass on a few acres (will hire out shredding for the bulk of the pasture periodically) (2) Cutting...

Please forgive this embarrassing question, but the owner's manual just isn't clear to me. Where does one check the hydraulic fluid level on the 5525? There is a red topped plastic cap just behind the driver's seat on the right above the PTO labeled "OIL" and "Misseli" on it. It has no dipstick...

Hello! I have some areas on our farm that are a little too steep and irregular to safely brush hog with my 2WD 55HP tractor and 6' shredder. Specifically, areas right around our pond, grass along the highway frontage, and some hilly areas. I've been looking into walk-behind field and brush...

Hello, all! So I was minding my own business, shredding a nice, flat pasture in my Mahindra 5525 2WD when all of a sudden *KAWHOOMP*!!! My left front wheel snapped off of the tractor! Didn't know that was even a possibility. The tractor is about 9 years old with about 350 hours on it. I'm not an...

Yup, I did it. While making a barn pad for my little girl's first pony, I managed to roll my tractor. Was driving across the front slope of the pad to compact it, turned uphill a little, and then, well, you can imagine the rest. Good things: (1) I was wearing my seat belt, (2) the front end...

Hi,all! Am looking for a utility vehicle and would like your input. Primary use would be getting my family around the 70 acre farm, plus basic utility work (checking and repairing fence lines, etc.). People include up to 2 adults and four kids. Kids are young, but one is 10 and will enjoy...

Hi, guys! I tried to hook up the ol' shredder today and couldn't get the telescoping drive shaft to slide easily. It's been off the tractor for about four months, so I thought it might have just been sticky. Well, I couldn't budge it. So, I took the whole plastic drive shaft guard off and...

Hi, gang! Anyone know where to get paint that matches the Tractor Supply Company attachments (King Cutter/County Line)? I asked at Tractor Supply where they carry a number of spray paint that matches John Deere and some others, but none match the implements that they sell. The salesman said that...

Hi, guys. Not sure exactly where this goes, but I have an old tractor tire that I'd like to turn into a giant tire swing. You know the kind- with the tire parallel to the ground. Anyone out there done this with a big tire? Any suggestions? Is it too big for the kids to use? Thanks for any help...

Have about three quarters of a mile worth of fence line I need to spray with Roundup to keep clean, and also may have as much 3-5 acres of land I may want to spray in the future with fertilizer and/or weed killer to develop a nice grass pasture. I have never had a sprayer before. Would I need a...

Hey guys- my dealer is about 45 minutes away, and there are some local ag service guys (dealers of non-Mahindra brands) 10 minutes away. For routine service and maintenance, is there any reason to drive way off to my dealer? Thanks.

Hi, gang. I need to store my implements under cover in the barn. Since it is a pole barn, I can't really maneuver the tractor inside the barn, though I can drive straight in and out easily. How is this for a solution? First, get the Pat's quick hitch set up so I can drop the implements easily...

Hi, gang. First a thanks from someone who has lurked for some time. Due to the forum's collective wisdom, I've entered the world of tractor ownership armed with a lot more knowledge than I would have otherwise---thanks! I now have a pole barn up, 36' x 48', and I plan on building a loft for...

Ok gang, I'm about to do it I think and enter the world of tractors with a 5525 with front end loader. Plan on moving some round bales on 30 mostly flat acres, making a driveway, clearing brush and such. How do you guys like the 5525? Thanks!!!

Hi, all. I'm getting really close to buying my first tractor, and wanted some advice from the experts. I have about 30 acres (20 acres fields, 10 woods) and intend for the majority of it to be in hay and baled for me to sell- but I may need to be able to move the round bales around the fields...

I just got a small farm (30 acres) and was about to buy a Mahindra this weekend, when I stumbled on the possible need to add hay moving to my list of needed chores of this tractor. I must have the tractor for doing some dirt moving and digging, driveway work, hauling things in a wagon, and some...

Hello! All of my tractor knowledge comes from this website and looking at the dealers' sites, so for your help, thanks! Now here's my question: what sort of machine and implements would you recommend for 30 acres of mostly flat land currently about 25% wooded and the remainder in hay? I plan on...
