She just got home from the dealership, complete brand new motor. Motor was running really loud, and blowing blue smoke, check engine light had come on. Turns out the #2 rod and bearing went out. Dealer said it was due to a miss routed oil return line from the oil cooler, it was pinched behind...

I am considering trading my 2555 Cab Shuttle for a 6065 cab PS. I haven't seen many write ups about it other than the gentleman with the big hole in the side of the transmission. I use my 2555 for just about everything to include twitching logs, so I would be paying close attention to the...

One of the critical things to keep in mind when grooving your R4 tires is to not compromise the integrity of the lug to the point where you introduce the possibility of chunking . Grooving to close to the edges of the lug or multiple groves to close together will increase the chances of a lug...

This is the second winter on mine and I haven't had any chunking or splits. I'm very satisfied with the results.

You will not be sorry, the MX 9900 is a beast of a machine and the customer service is great. this is what it will look like when it arrives.

Yesterday I got all my firewood piled up for next year.

I got her all loaded up for a weekend of making firewood for some friends

I was thinking of using the same type tie down ring that IH782 used but to weld them to the front of the frame as indicated in this picture. Do you think the frame is strong enough there?

I was wondering what other have done to secure their tractors to a trailer for transport, the 2555 doesn't have a very good place to attach chains to.

My 2555 has more than earned its keep over the past few weeks. This weekend it will be doing a lot of backhoe work, removing stumps and digging a trench for a new power cable to the barn.

I have a WoodMaxx 9900 and I love it, it is simply a beast. I do what Roy suggests and use my forester's helmet it helps prevent being slapped in the face by limbs along with good hearing protection. This was the day it arrived.

It been a while sense I posted any new "Whatcha Been Doing with Your Mahindra" pictures. It's not because I haven't been using it, its more like I've been to busy using it to take pictures. Here are some from last weekend when I was out twitching in some logs we cut a few weeks ago for next...

I have a 2555 with a 75B. Here are the specs I found, as you can see the 75B has a substantial advantage over the 65B

I would be inclined to groove them with a 1/4 inch pattern like this:

Im not sure how the 65B stacks up to the 75B, But here is what the 75B has for measurements 1. From the swing pin to the end of the bucket fully extended straight out behind the tractor is 12' 8" 2. The boom cylinder retracted is 33", fully extended is 54 1/2" at pin center 3 The Stick...

DickFoster I didn't really have much of a hard time with cutting through the cold rubber. I did all 4 tires in little more that 90 minutes and that was with the 2 cuts on the rears. I made a pattern on cardboard and used it to draw a line on the lugs, then I just followed the lines. I cut 2...

I got mine from Reed Supply in St Johnsbury, VT. there was a sale going on and I got the Ingland 4501, 3 slided, 3 chokers, 165 ft of 3/8 cable for $2400. I did drive there and picked it up myself. I know he is still selling them because he still has an add on Craigs list, looks like the price...

Its an Igland 4501 Winch, the same thing as a Norse 450, the only difference is the paint. I think its great, I use it for my firewood and twitching out Poplar trees to sell to the paper mill. No skid plate, but it sure would be nice... I wonder if there is one available for a 2555.

This content comes from another thread that I was on, but I though it should be a topic of its own so that some that may be interested will see it. I had a very informative and enjoyable conversation with the North-East Regional Service Rep yesterday. I placed a call to the customer service...

Yes that pallet in the 1st picture is a one piece but I soon realized that wasn't the way to go when driving over uneven ground, so I started building them 1/2 that size and stacking them when I put them in the wood shed. Each box used 2 pallets and 2ea 1"X6"X8' poplar boards that I milled...

Okay, Tractor PICS....

Well after making a pattern of the lugs I felt that a double grove on the rear would lead to chunking so I came up with a different pattern that would give me a double grove where the lug was thicker and would also allow for the most traction. On the front tires I used a pattern that was shown...

Gradehound.... I understand what your saying about the backhoe, but I don't have the backhoe on in the wintertime. When I'm plowing the most I have on the back is my log winch, have a few tight spots to get into so I keep as little on the back as possible. The blade I use on the front is an old...

WOW :shocked: I know you didn't pick that up with your tractor....

Sad to say I haven't done anything for my tractor today, I've even left her out in the cold rain.... But that is only because her new winter home is under construction..... I hope this doesn't make me a bad owner :confused::confused3:

Well I'm not looking forward to another cold running tractor this winter. My 2555 runs really cold, last winter the needle on the temp gauge never moved off cold, even after running it for hours. I took it to the dealer and they did some sort of software upgrade and now the gauge will go up...

I just bought a frostBite grapple for mine, I haven't really had a chance to try it out yet... But I'm sure its going to be better than using the forks to move logs around.

This time of year is get the firewood in season.. I try to get one of these done each day after I get off work at 4:30pm.

That is the pulley for the pull rope to activate the clutch, its on a swivel so you can pull from any angle.

I just got a Igland 4501 with 165ft of cable, 3 chokers and the same pulling power as the Wallenstein and I only paid $2995.00. I got it from this guy in VT. kevin@reedsupplycompany.com

The pulley that went bad on mine was the one on the pump, I can 't see it in the picture you provided. Here is a picture of mine when I discovered the problem. This is looking lower between the drive and the idler pulleys.

Do you also have the MX9900? If you do then I'll start keeping a closer eye on that pulley. I wounder if the reason for the problem is because drive pulley runs off the fly wheel shaft and the vibration that is generated from chipping is transferring through to the belt to the pump driven...

Well, I expected a breakdown at some point during my ownership of a Woodmaxx 9900 but not this soon. I have about 10 hours on it and the pulley on the hydraulic pump that drives the intake roller has failed. I took the unit apart and I need someone to look at some pictures and provide some...

I'am not new to operating a tractor, but I am new to operating new tractors. My experience with tractors is from 20(+) years on older Harvesters, Ford, and Oliver manual everything tractors. My question or situation is; on my 2555 shuttle the only device I have to activate the PTO is a button...

Look what showed up at my house today.... It may not be until this weekend that I get to try it out, but It will get a lot of use.

I have a 2555 Shuttle with Backhoe I only have 35 hours on it. This past weekend I was working moving my winter manure pile and ran into a issue with my loader. After working for a while I noticed that my loader wouldn't fully dump the bucket past the vertical dump point. What I mean is I...

I also am considering the MX-9900 and I'm torn because the huge difference in the price. The one thing that is different is the commercial grade components like bearings and shafts on the 9900 vs the VM8 series. Below is a small chart with the stated differences, but one thing that concerned...

I have a 2555 Shuttle and a 75B Backhoe, I've read the operator manuals and I'm not able find the recommended RPM to use.

I used Wild Bill's design and this is how mine came out: I did add some rear shoes to the back of the A frame and it works great. I still need to find a better way to mount my hoses and then when the weather is better, its going to get a fresh coat of paint.

New tractor with an old plow. It's about 90% complete but it moves snow. I still need to add some rear shoes to keep it level and then clean it up and paint it.... With 4 long driveways and a big barn yard to keep clear this make life so much easier.

I managed to cut down on the overall length by several inches by cutting the A frame down, the only drawback is now I'll never be able to us it on my truck again..... but that is okay the truck is not far form going to the scrap yard. As I said earlier I still have some fine tuning to do and...

Bill here are some of the project pictures... Be kind, I'm not that great at welding.....But I've never had a weld break. As you can see I cut the A frame arms right at the cylinder, leaving only enough as to not weaken the mount. From there I attached the mounting plates to the top and...

My next question is concerning the placement and angle of the SA cylinders, and that is. Is there any reason why I should not have my cylinders angled out were they connect to the mounting plate? on the current design and most all that I have seen where SA cylinders are used shows the cylinders...

Well it finally arrived today nice shiny 2555 Shuttle. Within the 1st hour I was introducing it to what my grandsons refer to as the POO-POO PILE.

Hello again, Well my new 2555 Cab, Shuttle, W/Backhoe arrived today. Now comes the question: I have 1 rear remote and I want to know if I can use it to run the left and right cylinders on my plow. I don't have a 3rd function kit yet and it may be a while before that is an option. Will the...

I was wondering if some of you that use your tractors to plow snow if you could give me some guidance. I and fabricating a plow for the front of my 2555 and need to know is it best the build the plow with a pivot point where it connects to the loader adapter plate or should I make it solid to...

Hello all. I will apologize ahead of time for what might seem like silly questions, but I'm new to the tractor world. I just purchased a Mahindra 2555 Cab, Shuttle shift, with Backhoe, and now after reading several posts I have a lot of questions. I'll try to go to the right forum with my...
