    Where are the glow plugs located?

    I've been unable to locate the glow plugs on my 2540 2.7L 4-cylinder engine. I thought they would be at the top near the injectors but can't find them. Tractor used to start as soon as the starter engaged, no matter the ambient temp, but in the last 6 months it takes an extra couple seconds of...

    2540 PTO engagement

    Is there any way to "ease into" the PTO during engagement? I'm pushing in the clutch, moving the PTO lever on the left side to the ON position, then with the clutch still depressed, pushing the PTO switch on the dash. The engagement is sudden and immediate and can't be good for the tractor or...

    Loader lift capacity and ballast

    Recently I had 44 yards of fill sand hauled in that I'm using to level an area that I will use as a parking area. On several occasions, the loader wouldn't pick up the sand. This happened when I stuffed the loader into the pile with the bucket just above ground level and attempted to lift. I...

    Rural King tractors are Mahindra cousins

    I received an email promo from RK touting their tractors, which I believe are made by TYM in Korea, which is the same company that the 2500 Series Mahindra comes from. RK37S Tractor | RK Tractors If you're in the market for a TYM or Mahindra, these babies are the splittin' image. What's...

    What did you do to or on your Mahindra today?

    Moved lots of snow last week with bucket, front plow, and rear blade. Today I tried out my new Titan 48" pallet FEL attachment with integrated trailer hitch receiver. I used the receiver to move my utility trailer (1400 lb), 26' boat/trailer (7500 lb) and toy hauler travel trailer (8500 lb and...

    Front-End Loader Anyone have the Titan quick attach pallet forks with integrated trailer receiver?

    Today I had the opportunity to try out the trailer hitch receiver portion of the pallet fork attachment. I picked up and moved around three of my trailers, which included 1400 lb (250 TW) single axle utility trailer, 7000 lb (350 TW) 26' boat/29' tandem trailer, and 8500 lb (1200 TW) toy hauler...

    Enjoying my Mahindra/TYM tractor!

    I'm just dropping by to share my early experiences as a newbie tractor owner with my new (to me) Mahindra 2540, which is built by TYM in Korea. It appears that for all practical purposes, this tractor is a TYM T394 with a Mahindra badge (excepting for the Mahindra engine). It's a 12/12 shuttle...

    Front-End Loader Anyone have the Titan quick attach pallet forks with integrated trailer receiver?

    Received the 48" pallet fork attachment today and it looks great. FedEx delivery guy was outstanding in every way (called me when he came down our neighborhood road so I could meet him at the end of our driveway). Titan did a good job of packing onto the pallet. Attachment frame weighs 105...

    Front-End Loader  Anyone have the Titan quick attach pallet forks with integrated trailer receiver?

    For those who have this attachment for your FEL, I'd like to know what's the heaviest trailer you've moved with it and what was your experience like? I have a travel trailer that will be moved around on occasion (level to slight incline asphalt and crushed concrete) that weighs 8500 lb with...

    Loader  Anyone using clamp on pallet forks with their 2500 Series tractor?

    I'm debating on getting the 4000 lb 43" Titan clamp on forks for my 2540. I can't see ever lifting more than 1000 lb with them (maybe a pile of logs). I've read numerous reviews and posts about people using these with very few regrets. My concern is about potential deformation of the bucket...

    3-Point Hitch  Is the 3-point hydraulic lift rate adjustable?

    I'm getting accustomed to my new (to me) 2540 tractor which I absolutely love. When I move the 3-point lift lever up, the arms "jerk" up quickly, even if I barely move the lever. I know about the adjustment knob below the seat for the 3-point lowering, but I'm not aware of any adjustment for...

    Ballast box receiver to tow logs with chain & grapple?

    Has anyone tried to use the receiver that's integrated at the bottom of the Titan Ballast Box to skid logs? I plan to pick up my first tractor this Saturday, and I'm researching the various implements and accessories that I'll need to do many of the projects I have in mind. The Titan Ballast...

    What size trailer will I need to transport tractor and implements?

    I'm buying a '15 Mahindra 2540 from an individual and need to get it to my house, which is about 30 miles away. The tractor currently has a quick-attach snow plow on the loader. I'll also need to haul the loader bucket, a rear blade, and a 6' Mahindra rotary cutter. My idea is to first load...
