I am getting ready to add expanded metal to the grill guard on my Grand L 5460. I have done some searching on TBN but have not found any photos where another member has done this on the Grand L with the folding grill guard. Photos and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

A couple of weekends ago we had my daughters, a couple of my nephews, and my parents at our cabin. My great grandfathers hay rake had been behind the barn grown up in brush my whole life. With the help of the young folks we moved it to a spot beside the drive. Now maybe a few more generations...

Yesterday I was cleaning up our remote property. The property has been in my family since 1908 and there is over a hundred years of junk scattered around. I build a cabin and have been slowly cleaning up. Yesterday I was moving an old elevated dog pen with my grapple. I lifted the pen and...

I have wanted to provide a review of my Kubota 5460 HSTC in hopes that it will prove helpful for others as they shop tractors. I bought the tractor in August 2019. I bought a Land Pride 1872 rotary cutter with the tractor. I had the tractor equipped with radio, bucket, third function valve...

I sold a fine tractor today and I am already having sellers regret. In August, I bought a Kubota 5460 HSTC. We are building a cabin on our rural property and I want to maintain the property more regularly than I have in the past and the cab sure makes it more pleasurable. When I bought the...

I know many of you have dealt with wild hogs. Today, while turkey hunting, I saw the first hogs on my property and I have hunted this property since I could carry a gun. There were 18 or so total. Last summer, I saw damage in the same area I saw these today but have not seen any sign since. A...

We are building a cabin on our rural property and I want to stain the concrete floor myself. This is a budget build. I have never stained concrete. The more I read the more confused I become. I am hoping the TBN faithful will share their experience and recommendations.

I am looking to add a hydraulic top link to my Grand L 5460. I am currently building a cabin on our rural property and will have lots of grading to do this spring. I have one rear remote. I know very little about hydraulics. I would really like to order from Fit Rite because he always is...

I now have 35 hours on my 5460 Grand L and I have yet to master the differential lock operation. On my Mahindra 2615, I have owned for 12 years I push the the lock pedal while the tires are not moving. Once the tires start moving it takes a partial rotation and differential locks. On the...

I had a rainy day off work so I decide to spend some time in the shop and catch up on some much needed maintenance on my old faithful 1993 F150. I bought this truck new but for the last 11 years it’s primarily purpose is for hunting and traveling to our rural property. I had not done a drum...

I am in the process of building a small cabin on our rural property. This is not a house we will ever live in permanently. The property has been in the family for well over a 100 years. My goal is to build something that can be handed down to my kids and grandchildren. With that said I...

I am considering selling my 2006 Mahindra 2615 (gear) with loader, canopy, bucket, Wild Kat grapple, WR Long third function kit, and 5 Rhino rotary cutter. The tractor has 760 hours and is in good condition. I have checked tractor house and there is one for $7000 and one for $12,500. Any input...

I finally got the skid plate made and mounted to protect the fragile under side of my Grand L. I originally only planned to protect the third function hoses but then decided to extend the plate back a little further to provide some protection for the filters and metal lines as well. Sorry that...

My new Grand L 5460 shows speed in kph and fuel usage in liters. This is not covered in the manual. I did several TBN searches and found instructions on some older threads. In a couple of these threads it mentions that the factory setting is for R1 tires (I have R4s) and there is code that...

Take this post for what it is, a bit of a rant. My new Kubota Grand L 5460 cab tractor was delivered last week. I first looked at the tractor in June and decided to purchase about three weeks ago. The buying process with the dealer was good and I felt I got a very fair price. I added...

After much looking, advice from TBN, and thinking, I have ordered a Kubota Grand L 5460 with cab. It will be equipped with radio, FEL, third function valve, one rear remote with float valve, rear work lights, square back bucket, and a 6 rotary cutter. I decided not to fill the tires for now...

I am getting ready to finalize the deal on a Grand L 5460 with cab. I am trying to decide if I need to equip the tractor with rear remotes and if so what type and quantity. I have operated my Mahindra for over 11 years without remotes and the only time I have really wanted them is the couple...

I am planning to make a deal on a new Kubota 5460 cabbed tractor this week. I have all but settled on how I want the tractor equipped except I have not decided if I want to fill the R4 rear tires. The dealer will include at no cost filling the tires with water and antifreeze. Will this create...

I am thinking of upgrading (actually just buying an additional tractor). I have been looking at a Kubota Grand L 5460. It looks like I could save about $7000 between the Kubota and a LS XR4155HC. I have looked at and driven the Kubota but have not had a chance to look at the LS. Does the LS...

This is my first post in a long time. My Mahindra 2615 has served me well for over 11 years. We are preparing to build a weekend cabin on our remote property and I have a lot of cleanup work to do on this property. Also I will need to bush hog every couple of weeks instead of once a year...

When did Mahindra add so much plastic to their tractors? I had to stop by the dealer this past week for a fan belt for my 2615. While there I took a peek at a 3616 as I thought this would be good tractor if I ever decide to upgrade. I was disappointed to see the use of so much plastic. I...

Are there any plans to fix the iPhone/iPad app? The participated tab has not functioned correctly since the forum update several months ago. Also on an iPad member profiles do not view correctly in land scape.

I have a 7000 lb capacity trailer with brakes on one axle. While this setup has worked fine I would like to have brakes on the second axle. I assume this can be done by simply purchasing two brake assemblies and two hub/drum assemblies and simply tapping into the wires going into the current...

Picked up my new 48"econo Wild Kat grapple yesterday. And my WR Long valve kit was also delivered yesterday. My install will be a bit different in that I have to have pin plates fabricated and welded on because my loader is not a quick attach. I will keep the thread updated but my install...

I have been doing a little research on grapples. I really want a grapple for my Mahindra 2615 with a 106 loader. Problem is my tractor doesn't have the quick attach bucket and I really don't want to spend the money to convert it. I found where BamaRob added a Millonzi grapple to his 2615 in...

Has anyone purchased a Harbor Freight floor jack? They have a three ton Pittsburgh on sale for $79.99. I don't use a jack often but need my old one is leaking I generally don't buy Harbor Freight tools but I hate to pay $150 or $200 for an item that is seldom used.

Maybe a tractor forum is not the best place to post this but I need to rant a little. My wife bought her first new car, an Explorer, in May. She has been hit twice already. The second incident occurred today in a restaurant parking lot while I was strapping our nine month old in the car seat...

I finally made a mount my for my chainsaw. I removed the handle on the right fender and reused the holes. I have been trying to decide on a suitable location for a while. I think this will work well. Not as pretty as some that have been posted but it beats carrying it in the bucket.

My old Weedeater trimmer is worn out. I am in the market for a new string trimmer. I have a 1.5 acre yard which includes a shared pond. Between the pond, fence, and edging I have a fair amount of trimming. I am considering the Stihl FS55R. I bought a new Stihl chainsaw earlier this year and...

Bought my first real saw today a Stihl 260. I know the 261 is out but none of the dealers in my area had one and did not know when they would get one. I got home in time to cut a few limbs in the yard. So far it's so much better than the Poulan I have been using. I wanted a light weight saw...

I need an education on chainsaw chains. I am planning to buy a Stihl 260 pro in the next couple of weeks. It is available with a .325 or 3/8 chain. I am not sure which is best for my needs. The main use will be limbing, cutting lots of smaller to medium size trees, and cutting the occasional...

I got a nice doe this afternoon with my 09 F150. My question is how do you select a good body shop. I have not been satisfied with past experiences with auto body work. Several years ago I hit a deer with my wife's car. The repair looked good but the paint on the repaired areas has not held...

I spent the morning at the hunting camp doing a little bush hogging until my hydraulic filter found a log. I was clearing a new trail through a thicket and found a downed tree. I was using the FEL to move the tree when the front tires went over a T section of the tree. As the tires went over...

Has anyone had any experience with paintless dent repair? The board covering the attic access in my shop fell on the hood of my truck. It has three shallow dents. The truck is less than a year old. I would love to get it repaired without any painting involved. I have never been happy with...

Does anyone use noise canceling earphones with an ipod or MP3 player when operating a tractor or lawnmower? I would like to be able listen to the tunes on my iphone when mowing grass. I doubt I would use it with the tractor since I like to hear the diesel. I have looked at the noise canceling...

Need some input. I have been looking at buying a chainsaw. I started out looking at the 290 but it is a bigger heavier saw than I need. What I really need is a good quailty light weight saw. My primary use will be to keep miles of old logging roads clean to include lots of limbing and...

Considering buying a new chainsaw. When I buy it will be a Stihl because the local dealer runs an excellent business. I am seriously considering the 290. I noticed the 270 and 280 have an anti vibration system. What exactly is the anti vibration system? Does it really make a difference? I...

Changed the transmission fluid for the first time in my 2615 gear. I added the required amount of fluid per the manual but the level did not even register on the dipstick. To get the fluid to full mark took almost more than a gallon more than the amount listed in the manual. I do understand...

Took the tractor to the hunting camp this weekend to do a little road repair. After completing my work I thought I壇 take the tractor for a spin and check for turkey sign in a bottom. There is a loggers ford that crosses a shallow creek. When I approached the crossing it appeared dry. It...

I am in the process of servicing the front axle on my 2615 for the first time. I bought hydraulic/transmission fluid as specified in the manual. I drained the fluid and soon as I cracked the drain plug I thought that smells like gear grease. So I double checked the manual and found that the...

I posted a similar question in the Mahindra section but only got one reply. I am getting ready to change the hydraulic fluid for the first time in my Mahindra 2615. I priced the Mahindra filter a few months ago when I purchased an oil filter and was shocked by the price of the hydraulic filter...

I am getting ready to change the hydraulic fluid for the first time. I priced the Mahindra filter a few months ago when I purchased an oil filter and was shocked by the price of the hydraulic filter. Someone on the forum advised me to buy a Wix filter. I did and Wix was about a third of...

I have an 18' trailer and would like to add a trailer tongue box to store chains, binder, etc. My problem is that the trailer jack is welded to a cross brace and if I mount any of the boxes I have found the jack handle will hit the box when used. There is a center hole with bolt holes closer...

I'm looking for suggestions/input as to heat for a workshop. The shop is 24' x 28' and well insulated including an insulated garage door. I use the shop a couple hours a night a couple of times a week and usually a few hours on the weekend. I'm in North MS so temps in the 20's - 30's are our...

I am getting ready to service my 2615 gear for the first time. The manual seems a little confusing on several points including which fluid to use in the transmission. The lubrication table shows that for transmission/front diff. to use Citgo-Transgard Tractor Hydraulic Fluids, Exxon-Torque...

I have recently purchased a 09 F150. I was unable to find one with a factory brake controller equipped like I wanted it. The dealer agreed to include the brake controller and installation as part of the deal. The dealer installed the controller this week. Last night I hooked up my trailer...

I got a used Woods GT60 tiller with the purchase of my tractor. I have printed the manual on Woods web site. The manual could contain better information. I checked the gear oil in the side chain case and I think it is over filled. I assume the side plug is to check the gear oil level. If so...

My implement storage area (my wife refers to it as the junk area) behind the shop was getting a little over grown so I thought it was time to move everything and cut the grass. When I moved the rotary cutter I found a snake skin. I was careful moving my box blade, plow, PH digger, boom pole...

I recently bought a used Mahindra 2615 that came with a Woods GT60 tiller. The tiller is much older than the tractor but works well. The PTO shaft is bent near the yoke at the tiller end of the shaft (the male part of the shaft). The shaft is held to the yoke by a roller pin. The shaft for...

I知 getting ready to prepare some new shrub beds and an outdoor storage area. I was planning to use landscape fabric covered with washed rock. All of our other beds are mulched but these areas get a fair amount of water through them during heavy rains and mulch would tend to wash. In addition...

I recently bought my first tractor (Mahindra 2615). I bought a trailer with the tractor. I have several questions as to what to buy to tie the tractor down. 1. What are the advantages/disadvantages of lever verses ratchet binders? It seems like with the ratchet binders you could get them in a...

I am getting ready to have the FEL bucket of my Mahindra 2615 reinforced and three hooks addded. My question is I have been using 1/4" chain however I was going to order 3/8" hooks from awdirect. Will 1/4" chain hold using 3/8" hooks? My thought was that I could use 3/8 chain when needed but...

I just bought a used 2006 2615. It has a loader but no front brush guard. I called the local dealer and he said he could get me one for $175.00. My question is will the brush guard work with the loader? This is all new to me so excuse my ignorance.

After several years of reading, I bought my first tractor. It痴 a 2006 Mahindra 2615 (gear) with loader and canopy. It has 225 hours and looks practically new. It came with an 18 ft dove tail trailer with fold up ramps. The trailer looks very good and was bought with new tires. Also, got a...
