Hey guys I really need your help. First of all does anyone know the largest battery size that fits well in a 2615HST? What about running a deep cycle battery? Also a repost from a while back because I still have the problem: I have a 2004 Mahindra 2615 hydrostatic tractor. This past summer I...

Hey guys I really need your help. Posted this quite a while ago but didn't get much help. I have a 2004 Mahindra 2615 hydrostatic tractor. This past summer I let a buddy of mine borrow it (first mistake I know) While he had it the ailing bucket control valve finally failed completely. So he...

Hey guys I really need your help. I have a 2004 Mahindra 2615 hydrostatic tractor. This past summer I let a buddy of mine borrow it (first mistake I know) While he had it the ailing bucket control valve finally failed completely. So he marked all the hose connections, removed the hoses, spilled...

Ok lets try pics again. Some images facing the wrong way but you get the point. It works slick. I wrapped the spool on the rotator winch to make it a bigger diameter to change my gear ratio. Now the speed on the chute rotator is PERFECT! Not too slow but not so fast that you...

So after two seasons I think I may have just about perfected the ultimate "Low budget, quickly built, reliable, good functioning, snowblower chute rotator and deflector actuator" First you buy two cheap 12v ATV winches. It doesn't really matter what brand, if it has a roller fairlead or not...

So I bought a universal ignition switch and some washers to make it fit the existing hole in the dash. I bought it at Tractor Supply for less than $20. Well see how long this one lasts.

Well I've got about 50 times the amount of power I need. I guess I could go with pulley or chain set up but I like the set up I have now.

Is there any way to slow down a winch motor besides re-gearing it? I was thinking maybe a heavy duty resistor wired in series with the motor kind of how they do on heater blowers for the different speeds.

Well near the end of the year last winter my winch chute rotator died on me. I left it all year until two weeks ago when my dad took it apart got me. He dumped about a cup of water out of the winch motor. The way I had it mounted (motor down) the water ran right down in there. :-( Much to my...

Just checking in. I still have my 2615. Has about 290 hours on it. I hardly used it this year. I just put the cab back on it and pimped out my snowblower some more ( will be posted in other section). God bless.

Anyone done this mod on they're tractor? Or maybe your tractor came with this type of control. I recently added a electric chute rotator set up on my rear mount snowblower. For now I am using the rocker switch handle that came with the 1200# winch. It works but it is chintsy & cumbersome. I...

Today I saw a guy towing a homemade rig behind a Kubota UTV sanding his long driveway. I didn't have time to stop in & talk to him but it looked pretty darn cool. It had a blue chemical barrel on it with salt sand in it, a rear axle under the barrel with a shaft feeding up in the barrel or...

We finally got some snow! I got to try out my new set up with the soft cab & homemade cab heater, etc. Man it is so SWEEET!! :D I can see some things I need to tweek but it was 24 degrees out & it was around 60 degrees I'd say in the cab. :cool:

Yesterday it was in the 40's. Warm out agian today. No snow in sight. I should be happy but this just doesn't seem right to me. Also I just dumped a lot of time & money into setting my tractor up for snow removal. I should have got some snow removal contracts for this year,..I'd be raking in the...

Has anyone else experienced this? I just put a soft cab on my Mahindra 2615 & tried to seal up most of the openings. I just used it to clear snow & it SEEMED like I was breathing in exhuast fumes. It seemed like I could smell it pretty bad & I felt like maybe I was gettting nausious. I don't...

I'm just rying to figure out how much the cab with heat, A/C, & raido is costing you on a new 3616 Cab model & weather it is worth it.

I've always thought the Unimogs were super neat vehicles. I've been looking at them a lot lately. I've been thinking in the future maybe I should get a Unimog instead of a factory cab tractor. Right now I have a full size 4x4 truck that I hardly ever drive because I have a company vehicle that...

So here's the set up I'm running. 2006(?) Mahindra 2615 HST. 1" wheel spacers for 2-link tire chains Loaded rear tires Kats engine coolant heater Origonal Cab Co. soft cab kit 6 Halogen flood lights 70" Provonost snowblower with electric chute rotator & adj. skids added. Dome light, heater, &...

So I think I am officially ready. I changed all my fluids & filters, I put my tire chains on, I have a soft cab kit installed. I insulated the roof of the cab, installed lights on the cab, installed a dome light in the cab, fabricated & installed a hydronic heater, sealed up all opening in my...

I have a engine heater for my tractor. I usually try to plug it in for a while before I start if if it is below 35 degrees or so. OTher people I know don't have an engine heater at all & use thier tractor all Winter. So what's the deal? Is it needed? Is it hard on the engine to start it when it...

I was just thinking,...can you use a backhoe on the factory cab tractors??

Much over due. I just put a RJP soft cab kit on my Mahindra tractor. Now I need to make some way to rotate my blower chute. Pics ot follow.

So I've wanted to do this for a while, add a pressure gauge to the outlet side of my hydraulic system to monitor system pressure & see if I am work to the full recommended pressure. I don't want to tap in somewhere that only reads pressure when your doing a certain thing. I want to tap in at...

Ok I remember seeing this cool mount set up on a tractor once & I had a catalog once that had a mount like this. I remeber it being like a U or V shape with a plate that bolts to your equipment (landscape trailer, tractor ROPS, etc.) with a rubber strap that is quickly released/locked on. You...

What would you look for in your next tractor? I know the things I wish were differnet on my 2615 is a good starting point. 1. First of all I would want more HP. I wish I would have ended up with the same frame/tire size but a little more HP like the 3215. My next tractor may be in the next size...

So I've had it since the spring of 2008. I have 260 hours on it. I have had periods where I used it a LOT everyday then periods where it didn't move for months & I had mice making nests in it.:mad: After I bought it I added extra fused circits to the tractor wiring, some bright lights on the...

I have been wanted a cab for my tractor ever since I got it. I'm sick of freezing my butt of when snowblowing. :mad: I MAY have found a lucky break today. I stopped in to a tractor dealership today & they had a Cub Cadet that looks just like my Mahindra 2615 except it is white & yellow & it is a...

Well I don't know if the new replacement ignition switches are any different inside (doesn't look any different on the outside) but I hope they are. The design of my ignition switch that failed is lame. There is a center post or peg if you will. Then there is a copper spring mounted plate that...

Great tiome for my tractor not to start. The middle of the winter, at night, outdoors. I go to start the tractor to scrape down the driveway so the wet snow doesn't turn to ice over night & nothing. No lights, no crank, nothing. Messed around with a battery charger to find out the battery was...

Hey guys haven't been on in a while but I need your help. My wife & I are doing the Dave Ramsey Finacial Peace University thing. It has opened my eyes to managing my money better. I'm trying to figure out what all of my vehicles book for & what we owe on them. So far our 2007 Suzuki SX4 car we...

I've got like 200 hours on my 2615 & both headlight bulbs are burned out. Is this pretty common?? The headlights aren't that great on this tractor. How much are new bulbs for this thing & where the heck can you get them. They look not common.:(

Well my Pronovost Lynx 70" blower is out for the season. I picked up a rock the size of a loaf of bread & it didn't like it. :( It broke the shaft that goes through the gear box from the PTO shaft to the fan right in half. BUsted the case of the gear box too. Quite a bummer. I put the 72" rear...

Trying to figure something out. Can anyone tell me if the 14mm bolts on the rear wheels of a 2815 & 3215 are fine thread or course thread???:confused:

Ok been looking at the seat on my 2615. First of all it is flimsy. Specifically were the seat hinges on the plate that it mounts to. That top plate on my tractor is like caving in. I can see the problem. THe metal is too thin to not have angle bent for support. Also the seat does not go back...

I wanted to start a thread on this to help people doing searches in the future. I posted on here last year about this. I have a 2007 Mahindra 2615 HST tractor. I bought a brand new set of 2 link tire chains for it last winter. I went to put them on & there wasn't enough room between the tire...

I did the search, read the threads. Stillnot sure which way to go with this. I have a brand new Pronovost Lynx rear mount blower. The manual chute rotation set up is pretty sweet BUT,..it is REALLY ergonomically unfriendly to try to crank the handle while your already twisted around driving...

Ok I want to put some nice rubber decking on the steel floor of my compact tractor. Anyone know where to get some rubber commercial style front entry door floor mats for cheap?? I know what I want. It is about 1/4" to 3/8" thick, smooth on bottom, & has raised bars on top for non slip. I see...

I searched & found some stuff about this but not what I was looking for. If your doing snow removal what are the pros/cons of jsut running tire chains on front or on back? I know the obvious like the front axle is weaker than the rear. My thing is how much abuse does simply putting chains on...

I've been thinking about a cab for my 2615 HST lately. I just happened to come across the dealership pamphlet for my tractor today. It lists all the 15 model tractors with al the specs. On the far left it says "Options" then under that Mid mount mower, Soft Cab with Canopy, & Snow Blowers. Under...

I live in Maine. Do I need a heater for my tractor??? This is my first full winter. The other day at 5 degrees she started pretty rough. Which type should I get & if I get one that goes in the radiator hose does anyoen know what size I need??

I recently sold some stuff & have $2000 available. I decided since I HAVE TO have a snowblower for my tractor before this winter,..and since the prices on everything are steadly going up,..I would purchase a blower right off soon. Here's where I am at. I have Mahindra 2615 HST. That is 27 HP...

I never even knew that anyone made a blower between 64" & 72" until the other day when I stopped in to a Kubota dealership in Woodstock NB Canada yesterday. It is a 68" Meteor/MK Martin. My tractor is currently 60" wide but I will be adding two 1-1/2" wheel spacers before winter which will put...

I somehow got a flat already so I decided to take the tires off & get them loaded. Just decided to run them out to a local tire shop & have them do them. They out tubes in them then filled them half way with calcium/water. It was more than I figured it would be at $245 but oh well at least it's...

I'm sure this has been discussed a dozen times but I have no tiem to do a search right now. I have 700' fairly steep driveway. It is stonedust with gravel & rocks 4" to 6" down. It is moved quite easily if wet but if it is dry it is quite hard like set concrete. I have a Mahindra 2615 HST with...

I almost had a heart attack yesterday.:eek: I bought the fluids to do the 50 hour service on my 2615 HST & it came to about $200. The fluid filters alone were like $20sumthing for one, $30sumthing for the other. What in the world! The tractor is still under warrenty so I'm playing thier...

I think I am going to have a buddy of mine make a stainless steel front grill guard for my tractor. Does anyone have a dealer purchased grill guard that they can take digital pics of & get dimensions off from??

Anyone know what the Fram or Napa filter numbers are for a 2615 HST? Mine are still the OEM black ones. Also when should I be changes all these filters & fluids, what type of oils etc.:confused:

I didn't get any paper work with my second hand tractor (said he never got any) What should I have got with a 2006 2615 HST? How do I go about getting it now since the guy has moved so can't contact him & I don't rember where he got the tractor from? I assume there should be at least some sort...

I've got my tractor all torn apart already LOL! I'm going to be adding 4 more curcits to the existing fuse panel to feed: rear lights, flashing snow removal lights, a future cab heater, future windshield wiper. I can figure out what's what with a VOM. but it would be nice to have an actual...

Well that was a big DUH! I had even priced out the Cub Cadets against the Mahindras. As the guy on the phone was explaining the 26 HP Cub Cadet I was thinking of how similar it was to the 2615 HST Mahindra LOL!!!

I'm kind of a perfectionist about mechanical devices & probably over thinking this but,.... I just recently bought a Mahindra 2615 with a FEL. I was greasing the pivot points tonight & noticed something I didn't like. Why does it seem like on most FELs & other attachments there is way too much...

It's not brand new but just about with only 40 hours on it. Likes: 1. Power Seems to have plenty of power. With two other sizes larger in this size frame I thought it would feel very under powered but it seems to me like it has plenty of power. 2. FEL Plenty of lifting power, fast enough for...

My brother in-law was telling me that he thought my tractor would run on #2 heating fuel or diesel. Is this true? If it will then what I will do it make a filling station off from my 33o gallon oil tank.

Ok someone out there must have made one of these or some company out there must make one. Here's the problem> When using the FEL often times what is in the bucket falls out over the top of the bucket if it is full (rocks, snow, ice, etc.) & lands hard on the hood of the tractor damaging it. &...

I got my "new to me" tractor home Sunday night. I used it last night & tonight. WHAT A BLAST! I can't belive how much snow I have moved already. I have a problem though,..it's so fun that I stay out there too long & almost end up getting frost bite on my fingers.:( You guys want to see pics...

I went to put my new tire chains on the rear tires of my tractor & they are right up against the fender supports inside the fender. :mad: Does anyone make wheel spacers or anything to make chains work on the back of a compact tractor? Oh yeah it is a Mahindra 2615 HST

I pull my Mahindra 2615 in my garage bay under my house quite often & each time I have to fold down the ROPS. Are all of the bolts, nuts, snubber bolts, & pins, & chains nessasary? Why can't I just go with the pivot pin, the pin that locks the ROPS in position, & the locking pin though the end...

So I think I may go with Propelyne glcol pumped in myself rather than jacking up the tractor, removing the tires, taking them out to the tire place, paying to have them put tubes in & pump in calcium cloride, then trying to load/unload super heavy tires by myself, mount back on tractor. I just...

Just wondering how it fits & tows. It's about $100 to tow my tractor home on a U-Haul vehicle transporter trailer. I measured the trailers at my local U-Haul today. There are two channels that the vehicle sits on. They are 79" on the outside & to the inside of the raises lip (keeps vehicle from...

Yes I am a B.A. Christian & proud of it. I'm buying a tractor this week & NEED tire chains for it. I spent Saturday on the computer & on the phone trying to find some tire chains somewhere in my sate (Maine). I didn't have much luck. I have TONS of snowthat I NEED TO MOVE! I'll have to have...

Just for the heck of it I looked on JCWhitney for tire chains. They have some 27X8.50-14LT bar twist link chains on there for $66 a pair. My question is will these work on my 27X8.5-15 R4 tires???

Ok I am new to tractors. I just learned today what "Loaded tires" meant. Actually I grew around & using tractors but never paid any attention to the details. Anyways I was thinking. I get free Propylene glycol quite often through my HVAC job. Would this be good to use? I was thinking mixed...

My buddy has a BH6000 on his Mahindra 2015 HST. He said if it fits on my 2615 HST I can use it when ever I want. I e-mailed Woods & they said it won't fit at all. Someoen else said it was just a matter of drilling som additional holes inthe moutn plate. Anyone on here know? IT would be sweet if...

When I was looking on here there was one guy with a 2615 with a 62" Puma blower. I was wondering how that & other wider snow blowers work on a 2615 HST withe it's meager 21HP PTO output.

I have been doing research on snow blowers today during the snow storm. Ok why are there so many snow blower manufactures? So far I have: Argo Trend JRW LuckNow Lull Allied/Farm King buhler Woods RAD Pronovost BerVac Schulte IFE Oy Vey! They range from $1800 to $8000 depending on the brand...

I made it on to be able to post on TBN FINALLY! I have like 100 questions. Although I have been reading the past topic & already got a lot of my questions answered.

I'm buying a used 2615 this week. It is in northern Maine about 6 hours north of me. I plan on going ot get it this comeing weekend but if we get any more snow I may have to take a day off from work & go get it Tuesday or Wednesday. I have been using a 1988 GMC 3/4 ton PU with a plow to do my...
