Hi guys - I have a mahindra 2015 hst with 1150 hours on it. I was finish mowing the front field this morning when I started smelling something hot. It was primarily when I went from forward to reverse. I stopped mowing immediately and pulled the tractor into the barn. The rear end was...

Hi all - We've had a great garden every year for last 8 years in the exact same spot. This year was going just as well as years past until about a week ago. We have about 15 tomato plants and all of them looked really good. About 4' tall, fruit all over them, thick stalks, etc. Suddenly...

Hi guys - I have a 2015 hst and need a new seat. Waiting on my dealer to give me a cost but figured I'd see if anyone had one to get rid of or at least a recommendation of anywhere else to check. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi everyone - Has anyone installed the attached picture on their wood burner chimney pipe? Here is a link for it on amazon: Amazon.com: Metal-Fab Roof Support with Trim - 8 Inch: Home & Kitchen It seems to be the right connection point for going from single wall to triple...

Hi Everyone - I finally saved up enough pennies to build a new pole barn. It's 30 x 40 x 12 with an 11' overhang on the back (40' side) for firewood, etc. I'm hoping to pour concrete this week so it's time to start deciding how I'm going to finish the inside. I'm planning on insulating...

Hi guys - The 3ph on my 2015hst is acting funny. It's suddenly become very difficult to raise. I almost have to pull on the lever with two hands. Any idea what might cause this? Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My wife decided to take a vacation day and stay home from work last Thursday. While she was home, a van with two guys in it came down the lane and eventually turned around and left. The next day, one of my neighbors called and told me that his house was broken into the day before. He said...

Hi everyone. I am finally ready to buy a log splitter and I think that I've settled on the 28 ton from TSC. My question is, does TSC have a big sale around Labor Day? I vaguely remember getting 10% off coupons for that weekend but I'm not completely sure. I know that I see a lot of threads...

Hey guys. I am ready to buy a new log splitter and am looking for some advice. I split about 12-15 cords per year and currently use an older Brave splitter. It's rated at 20 ton and has done a good job but is finally wearing out. There's a used Huskee (TSC) 35 ton splitter close to me for...

I was hanging out by the pond yesterday evening and saw something moving around very slowly on top of the water. It finally got close enough for me to see and I realized it was a pretty big (18-24" long) blue catfish. I don't know what happened to it. It looks like something was eating it and...

Hi guys. I am finishing our basement and have a questions re: the flooring. The basement has had some water issues in the past (which I'm addressing w/ a sump and drain when the weather breaks). I am planning on installing engineered wood flooring in some areas and carpet tiles in others...

Hi everyone. I would like to finish our basement and am having water issues. There is no sump pump or gravity drain that I have found so far. There are cracks in the slab of the floor and during really big rains, we get water up through those cracks. I'd like to install a gravity drain under...

Hi everyone. I have a 2015 and for the last 6-7 months when I get off of the tractor to do something the tractor continues to slowly travel in forward or reverse (whichever direction I was going before I jumped off). I set the parking brake before I jump off of it but it still moves. At first...

I originally put this thread in the Mahindra section but figured I'd get some additional guidance here...thanks! ;) Hi everyone. I've had my 2015 hst for about three years and I'd like to have pallet forks. I have access to really inexpensive forks and carriages through work and would like to...

Hi everyone. I've had my 2015 hst for about three years and I'd like to have pallet forks. I have access to really inexpensive forks and carriages through work and would like to use these. What do I need to do to convert my bucket to a QA set up? I have the ML104 loader and can remove the...

I have a Befco 60" rear mount finish mower. Last weekend I was mowing and while backing up my tire got caught on something and broke the wheel yoke (the fork that holds the wheels on each corner). It's pretty hard to weld because of the way it's shaped. Has anyone ever purchased one of these...

I drove by my dealer this weekend for the first time in a few months. I noticed the Mahindra sign is down (he sells JD also) and none of the red tractors were outside. I stopped in this morning and found out that they dropped the Mahindra line sighting a lack of support in parts. They also...

I was watching the local news last night before bed and the anchor starting talking about an interesting promotion in North Carolina. There is a Mahindra dealer (he sells fishing boats also) down there somewhere who is giving away a free ak-47 with the purchase of a tractor! They interviewed...

I've been thinking about upgrading my splitter. I cut and split about 10-12 cords per year and have been using an older machine for the last five years. It does okay but seems to be wearing out a bit and I'm wondering how much quicker a new machine could split. Anybody have any thoughts on...

My 2015 is financed through Agricredit. I was planning on sending two large payments to satisfy the loan in full. I called them to get a pay off amount and when I tried to confirm with the guy that any extra money sent would be applied to the principal balance he told me that they apply all...

Hi everyone. About a month ago I decided that I was going to build a fire pit out by the pond and was on TBN looking for ideas. The weather has started to break (finally!:)) in Ohio and I've spent the last couple of weekends working on it. I thought I'd share some pictures of the progress. I...

Hi everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but I'll start it here. I am planning on building a large fire pit out by the pond this spring and was wondering if anyone has done this recently. I am figuring on a 18-20" high wall with a 6' ID (so I can throw large limbs in...

I put in a wood burning furnace add-on last winter. I usually get home around 4:30 and if the fire isn't going it takes a good 2-3 hours before the house gets warmed up. I could load it up and keep it pretty warm until I get home but am always hesitant to do so. What do you guys do?

I was using a single blade plow to put in my underground dog fence today and was down to the last 20' when I heard a snap. One of my 3 pt. stabilizers broke in two.:eek: Anyone know where I can find one of these and what the cost might be? TCS didn't have anything...

I'm not sure where to post this thread but if anyone has an old subsoiler that they would be willing to part with for a reasonable price please PM me. I'm about 30 miles east of Columbus, Ohio. Thanks!

Hi all. I'm about to install 1500' of invisible fence around our property. My problem is I can't decide the best method to do this installation. Should I buy a sub soiler (approx. $175) and mount a 1" pipe to the rear of it to lay the wire or should I rent one of the walk behind ground...

I went out to the barn this morning and my 2015 wouldn't start. It used it on Wednesday evening to clean up some limbs and brush left over from the wind storm and everything was fine then. While inspecting the problem I noticed that the three rivets that hold the fuel tank bracket to the...

I'm considering purchasing a backhoe attachment for my 2015. I have some stumps to dig out (about 8" in diameter), water line to run, and drainage ditches to dig. I wanted to see how the 2710 has performed for those that have one or have used one. Does it seem powerful enough? Can it...

Hello all. I have a Mahindra 2015 with a loader. Looking through the new Northern Tool catalog, I saw some clamp on forks. I was thinking that I could use them to raise logs off of the ground to cut (save my back a little). Has anyone had any experience with these forks or something similar?

I've been clearing some overgrown areas of our land the last couple of weekends. This morning I was pushing some trees, limbs, briars, etc. onto my brush fire and had a limb put a pretty nice dent in my grill. Has anyone had this and repaired it? I was also kicking around building a...

After much research, debate, etc. I decided to go w/ the 2015 over the Kubota 7510. I went w/ the HST with a FEL and a 5' ft. rear mount finish mower. I have just over 50 hours on the tractor and I am extremely happy so far. We live on 12 acres and I think definitely think that I bought the...
