After setting rear tires for maximum width I want to add liquid ballast since I need more stability on tractor. Rolled my previous tractor on slopes and don't want to repeat the same mistake. In order to determine how much fluid to buy is anyone aware of how to calculate the fluid capacity...

Watching a video of man widening his rears on a kubota. In this screen shot he has both tires off and back is up on a single bottle jack with nothing under either axle to support in case something bad happens. And then his toddler comes walking into view and walks up to the suspended rear. No...

Several months ago I rolled my tractor over and by the grace of God survived. Ended up having to buy a kubota mx5100 as a result. I would like to set rear tires to maximum width to hopefully prevent it from happening again. Tractor has loader which should help and will load rear tires once set...

Put in about 3 hours seat time. Very enjoyable afternoon.

Bought this tractor yesterday and it's a significant size upgrade from my previous tractor. St some point in time I will buy a larger Bush hog. How large a cutter would this tractor operate?

Thanks for that advice.

I am stupid. Let's get that point made first. Was not wearing seatbelt which makes my stupidity greater. Thankfully not seriously injured. Was bush hogging fire lanes to prepare for burning land next few months My question is how do I roll it back over? No trees anywhere that I can hook a come...

My old bass boat died and i have decided to use the 20' trailer to haul my Mahindra 2810 around as needed. Without implements it weighs around 3100 pounds. The trailer is a tandem and capacity listed is 4500 pounds. I know that i will need to upgrade the ply of the tires but first things...

Yesterday a friend from work had to put his dog down and I volunteered the use of my post hole digger and farm to bury her at. I just bought my PHD and have practiced digging 2 holes with it and so I am still trying to learn the operation. My question is in which hole location should I attach...

I bought a used post hole digger and the old man got over on me. What can I say, I am a softie. A weld was broken because he used a grade 8 bolt instead ofa shear pin and so I ground it off and welded that. Gear box was empty and so filled that. One of the shields around the gear box is...

Today I am attempting to replace the inner tubes on the rear tires on Mahindra 2810. Unfortunately, both stem placements on on the inward side of the rims, causing inflation to be not impossible, but I am thinking ahead in case I want to load my rear tires in the future. To do so would be a...

Today I changed my transmission/hydraulic fluid for its scheduled maintenance. Proceeded to bush hog for about 30 minutes. After pulling it into the shed I noticed that there was fluid leaking from around the pto shaft. Well darn. What am I looking at folks as far as repairs? Major? Complicated...

Found a 2014 Mahindra 5510 gear with a cab. Only 179 hours on it. Does anyone have any experience with a 5510 and if so what are your thoughts? I have a Mahindra 2810 year 2000 and I would like to get a more current year that will allow me to get parts and keep it running for the next 25 years...

It appears that the plate previously down will be my return port location. I will need to install the port where the plug is shown on the top flared section. Shown now in these photos in a connection in a small hydraulic line coming back from my power assist steering pump. If I can find a T...

Update on my attempt to add remotes. I went to a dealership and to make a long story short the diagram that I was using from my chassis manual went to a "new sheet metal" 2018 whereas I have an "old sheet metal" model. I have attached the new technical diagram that shows what I am dealing with...

I need help from anyone that owns a Mahindra 2810 old or new sheet metal version. I own an old sheet metal version year 2000 however I do not have an owner's manual for it, only a new sheet metal version. Nor is an old sheet metal version available for purchase. I am trying to add the optional...

Aaron you were correct about the plate. I have attached 2 additional pictures that show the area once the plate was removed.

I do have a technical manual and reviewed the drawings. This first picture from the manual shows the hydraulic pump in place on top of the transmission. The 2 lift arms are shown on the upper back location of the picture as well as the various components on the hydraulic pump. The next...

I have a Mahindra 2810 and I am working on installing top and tilt on it. There are currently no hydraulics except for the 3PH. I removed my seat and identified what I believe for certain 1 of the ports and possibly the second. The first picture shows what I believe to certaintly​ be a port. It...

Previously had constructed a brush guard for my tractor because when I first bought it used I treated it like a tank. That did a number on the grill body work and do when I purchased a replacement I figured I needed to add protection. I purchased a 7' land plane and it was just too heavy for my...

In just the past 2 weeks I paid $1200 for repair of my steering on my Mahindra 2810. I was using an implement that was a tad bit too heavy, causing the front end to come off the ground, damaging it when it came back down. I made 3 weights for the front, each weighing about 150 pounds each. They...

Main reason for planting something is to prevent erosion. The area staged was power line easement. During winter time wanted to give the deer something to come in and feed on. All I plan on doing in this area year round is provide something for the animals to forage on. x

Last year I had my property clear cut of timber and area where trucks were staged was hard as concrete. I plowed the area, disced it and planted winter rye for the upcoming winter. Unfortunately in Alabama we were in extreme drought and so the area did not receive enough water to germinate...

Took possession of my father's land and started to put a metal roof on an old building he used for good cabinet shop. Pole barn wad built in late 60's and trees had grown up around it, dropping limbs on top. I clean off 6" of pine straw and found it leaked like a colander which determined my...

Yesterday my engine oil pressure light came on. When checked it was a little low, around a quart. I added fluid but the light still came on. It only came on intermittently before I added the fluid and now afterwards. I immediately stopped the engine as I do not want to damage it. Any ideas as to...

I have an unusual situation that I would appreciate input on. Yesterday on my Mahindra 2810 I was having difficulties with my power steering. If I rotated the steering wheel to the left I had power steering but if I rotated the steering wheel to the right I had no power steering. Any ideas as to...

I was watching a video by Rim Guard showing the addition of their product into a rear tractor tire. Prior to that, I had watched a few videos about proper tire inflation and how virtually all tires should be inflated at the lower end of their recommended inflation for best traction and the...

Daughter and son-in- law just came over and told us we are going to be grandparents. First time for me and the wife. To say that I am overjoyed is an under statement. Just wanted to spread the good news.

Good morning everyone. I need your input please. I own a year 2000 Mahindra 2810. The only hydraulics is on the 3pth. I would like to add remote hydraulics as it does everything that I currently need and should be able to last me into retirement. I guess by adding 4 ports that will allow me...

I have a Mahindra 2810 which I greatly enjoy. Should be everything that I need however i would like to add accessories which will make my life easier as I get older. I am thinking about adding remote hydraulics however I know nothing about hydraulics. How easy a job is it to add them and what...

This is an excellent publication from the University of Georgia. It will help in what you are planning.

I pulled the radiator in my year 2000 Mahindra 2810 this morning as I noticed it was leaking water last time I used her. I intend to flush it out but just for the heck of it I wanted to search what a replacement would cost. OMG! $1,000 It made me start wondering if a domestic manufacturer like...

I bought and old double bottom Dearborn plow and hot to play around with it this weekend. Power line has not been worked in 40+ years and you could tell. I did not know it at the time but I have since find out I own the hardest ground in the state of Alabama. I need your assistance in...

I purchased an old single row cultivator that needs a bit of work. I am interested in replacing the current straight tips with sweeps and I have been researching and wow, so many choices. Sweep angles, widths and various shapes to choose from is leaving me scratching my head.:confused2: From...

Spent half an hour riding the property with my tractor buddy surveying the progress of cutting the timber.

I did a search for a previous topic of clay road versus gravel road but did not find any discussing this specific issue. I am currently getting my land cut of timber and will start building our retirement house next year on our land. I have use of an easement road for half a mile before I get...

I am confused. I have a disc harrow, box blade, bush hog and single row cultivator. I have been thinking that I need a moldboard plow and I will be ready to get started gardening. Seeing how I have never gardened before I wanted to read up and I watched a few videos on everything attachments...

Starting Monday I am having 75 acres clear cut. The goal is to build a house there in the next 12-18 months once it has been replanted. The logging company is under contract to remove any ruts over 12" deep however that will leave a lot less than 12". The logger will not be pushing debris up...

I have an old 220v welder that did not work today when I tried to use it. Would not even turn on. I measured the voltage at the plug and got a reading of 120 volts on one leg and 55 volts on the other leg for a total of 175 volts in the plug. I am guessing there was not enough voltage to...

I need your input as to the best method of clearing stumps for gardening. I am going to clear cut timber on my land and will leave maybe 2-3 acres clear during reforestation for planting a garden. The area was once a garden but parents let the forest reclaim that area starting about 30 years...

I am going to look at a used John Deere post hole digger this morning. What items should I be looking for that would indicate the attachment has been run rough and is not a good buy? I bought my disc harrow from this establishment 2 years ago and there has been no problems with it. I do not know...

Here are 2 pictures that I took of the wiring diagram from the case of the relay. I brought the tractor in to charge it. Sanded a few areas to try and get a better ground location but still no luck. I can't direct wire to the battery as I would have to open the bar up to gain access to wire...

Have a problem and hope someone can help me. I installed a 10" LED bar on my tractor about a month ago mounting the bar and running the cable through the body etc. I was not able to finish due to time management however before I left for the day I touched the wires to the battery terminals to...

Well I went to the farm this afternoon and jacked up the front axles. When the weight came off the front and the front tires seemed to have the same camber. Picture of left tire. Originally had severe positive camber. Picture of right tire. Originally appeared to have zero camber. Once...

Today I tried to work on the toe camber based on these suggestions and video on how to adjust camber but when I started I saw that the axle looked like any video I watched nor had the ability to make any of the adjustments. I took several pictures today and I will try to explain the view being...

I am in the process of installing an LED light bar for my next customization job since my son and I finished the canopy manufacture and install. Having read various posts here and wanting to pick a good quality bar I researched various tests and reports and decided to order one from Black Oak...

I have a TSC here locally and a Northern Tool store in Birmingham. I have searched their website as well as Wal-Mart and Pep Boys for tractor tires. When I purchased my tractor I noticed the rear tires were gauged pretty bad due to improper adjustment of the stabilizer bars which allowed the...

I would like input on several items that are coming up for auction here in my home town. Since I have a 5' disc harrow I figured I need to buy a plow and wet my teeth in gardening starting with something basic and then maybe one day several years down the road buying a tiller. I intend on...

In a post that I recently created I asked about need for filling tires for ballast purposes and a response I received was about expanding the rear tires outward if possible. I looked at my axle as well as examined my owner manuals however there was not a topic about expanding the axle outwards...

I noticed that one of my front tires on my Mahindra 2810 has a noticeable toe slant while the other does not. The manual has the following specs listed. Toe-In (mm) 2~6 Camber 3 degrees +/- 1 degree Castor 3 degrees +/- 1 degree Do I have a problem or potential problem? Any thoughts?

Question concerning tire ballast. I have 80 acres that I will be having clear cut this year and replanted next. Timber has not been cut in 100+ years and so I am going to be going over terrain with the tractor that I never had. I will be building a house there in 2017 and so I want to get in...

Finally decided to post a project of my own. I hate to say this but this project actually started about 5 years ago. I cut down a tree in the area I wanted to have a patio in and then accepted a job where I had to go overseas for training for 9 months. When I returned I proceeded to work...

We had a bad storm come through and a neighbor's tree came crashing down in my backyard. It's a deserted lot and no one to file a claim on since my insurance man said it was considered an act of God. Trunk is about 24-28 inches in diameter. Got out my Poulan Pro 240 and started cutting...

Bought an old disc harrow and after one use a grease nipple broke as I was applying grease. Cannot get the broken part out of the disc. Short of drilling out does anyone have suggestions as to what I can do to remove it?

Good afternoon folks. New with dealing with a tractor and such so I am trying to pick the brains of those much more knowledgeable than mine. I have a year 2000 Mahindra 2810. Love it to death. 28hp on the pto and does so far everything that I need it to do. It did not come with a FEL and I...

I have a 2000 Mahindra 2810 and I have no idea what the function of this knob is for. Unfortunately it is written with Korean characters with the exception of "fast" and "slow". I believe it has something to do with the hydraulics as it is right above where I added hydraulic fluid when I...

I own a 1984 4WD Mahindra 2810. When I purchased it last year it had 432 hours on it. I changed all fluids on it and have loved every minute on it. I filled the front axle to the top, maybe a little too much. After operating I noticed that when sticking my finger in the opening I could not...

I need to run a 2" water main to a house that I am going to build on my land. To make a long story short, my neighbor cut a new easement road for me to use to get to my land because he no longer wanted me to use the current road. I asked him to hold off on any further work on the road once the...

I am new working with a tractor and implements and so I need to ask a question. I am looking to buy a used disc harrow however do not know what are most important characteristics to look for. Only wish to plant a green field now and then of maybe 5 acres. Maybe turn up a 3 or 4 acre garden...

I cut the fuel off at the filter because I needed to remove the glass sleeve and in the "on" position it was not possible to remove it. To make a long story short, I forgot to turn back into the on position before my daughter cranked it up and headed out, running it dry. My question is, is it...

Yesterday I was bush hogging on a small incline and just about rolled over. The area has a few small mounds and the event just seemed to come out of nowhere. Anyway about 5 minutes later I heard a loud pop and my left rear tire was flat. I could not find a cut in the tire or anything to...

I am new to owning a tractor and would like to ask the experienced folks what is the best practices in bush hogging. I have a Mahindra 2810 with about 28hp on the pto. When bush hogging should I keep the rpm's at 540 while mowing cleared fields or is it better to run the engine/pto at lower...

I recently bought a tractor to clean up some property that has been basically abandoned for 25 years. To make a long story short I have been using it like a tank when bush hogging. The front of my tractor has been catching a devil of a time resulting in a damaged front grill. I need to...

I recently purchased a 2000 Mahindra 2810 4WD and I love it to death. Was out bush hogging early this morning and my right front tire deflates when I turn. I removed all lug nuts so I can have it inflated/tube installed however the rim will not come off. No matter how I pulled, twisted...

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I recently purchased a Mahindra 2810 (2000 model) along with 5' box blade and bush hog. Great buy with only 432 hours on it and am loving learning how to use it. I came into 80 acres of wooded property and intend on building a house and moving out of...
