As for learning to run a mini-excavator, I would not be surprised if you learned quickly. As long as you are out in the open and not trying to do something like digging a French drain up next to a house, just go for it. It's a ton of fun running an excavator. It can be very satisfying work...

The weld was torn off the parent metal.

If you feel his YouTube link was not derogatory towards an ethnic group, so be it. Don't miss the fact that I agree that the welded part was defective, so did Mahindra, and they replaced the part. We have a fab shop ourselves, plasma table, migs, tigs, mill, lathe, etc. I'm no expert, and...

I'm sure you are just trying to be funny, and I guess that is fine, but if you read this thread, you would understand that the broken welds were on a Mitsubishi Mahindra made in Japan. I've been to Mahindra factories in India and in Japan. You would be impressed. I think racist remarks are...

Please read post #29 in this thread. We are the dealer. He did what he should and contacted us first. We put together a request to Mahindra to cover this even though it was technically not in warranty. Mahindra responded promptly with approval. This is the best method, unless, of course...

It's been years since we have had one of these failures, so you're straining my memory! The 2615, IIRC, had the ratcheting type OR clutch. See post #10 in this thread for some details. If with the PTO lever engaged (and engine off of course) you can spin the PTO shaft freely both ways (and...

Bellview, I think our service manager has reached out to you with the good news that Mahindra is going to cover this failure, even though it is not a covered part under the power train warranty. It just makes common sense for them to take care of this. We asked them, and they agreed. By...

Actually, the vast majority of Mahindra tractors sold in the USA in the last 20 years were not made in India. Most were made in Japan and South Korea. Mahindra owns a good portion of Mitsubishi Ag, and has a longstanding relationship with TYM in Korea. Having said that, Mahindra's India built...

We are a high-volume dealer. Ideally if everyone shows up to work and inbound tractors arrive timely, we try to keep ahead of the curve and have 30 or 40 (a month's worth) of tractors PDI'd and ready to go. Then all we have to do is put the package together, add ballast, implements, remotes -...

Seems best to do it that way. Interesting that Diamond C adds in some tongue weight, two 7,000 lb axles often will have a 14,900 GVWR on their trailers.

Looks great. Ensure that when you open your tailgate, it does not hit the top of the channel your adjustable coupler bolts into. I've had a couple of trailers where that would happen. You can cut the top of the channel down some to give clearance.

CDL rules differ by state. In California, if your equipment trailer is 10k or over GVWR, you need a CDL. So it's a good idea to check your individual state rules. I tow daily delivering tractors and have a 22' deck bumper pull and a 32' deck goose. Often I am delivering to narrow driveways...

That's a smoking gun for sure. Good for you for doing this yourself. It's not a bad job.

Best to go directly to our parts manager, or hit us up via our website contact form. I'll send you a private message with contact info. Keep in mind that a local hydraulic shop can sometimes be your least expensive option. Often a cylinder can be rebuilt.

We sell the gray ones built in India for Titan out of TN. If you happen to be in Northern California, I have a dozen or so of those flails in stock. Heavier duty by far than most of what is commonly imported from China. These specs out closer, and look more like, some of the European...

I'd like to take the time to clean the trailer up and not have it parked in a puddle, but then I'll probably not get around to posting the pictures if I did so. These are working trailers, used pretty much every day on deliveries. The fair lead slips into a receiver on the tilt part of the...

If I have done this correctly, here is some wiring info for the pre Cummins Branson and Century tractors.

We choose when we play in the snow. It is at our convenience. This is 40 minutes from the house, our annual Dave's Tractor snow wheeling trip this Monday. 6 rigs, about 20 people. A good amount of snow, and a lot of fun. I suppose there is another 2-3 feet accumulation there in the last...

Might be years. Here it is after I removed the snow blower. I have an extra cab as a donor to help make the 4-door.

I've been on here for years and post and view pictures. A couple months ago (just guessing) I found that I can no longer see most images. I just get the little black box with an X. I can see images that are photobucket images, but not the normal images. I also went to upload some images...

You guys are killing me with the zip ties, hose clamps, dragging in the dirt deal. So far, I do not think the OP has looked at the manual. Not that any of us really like to look at manuals, I'm almost as bad. So here is a picture. We like pictures. Unless I am misunderstanding the problem...

See if this picture works for you. At the left side of where the hopper is attached to the main housing. Lousy photo, but you should get the idea.

Bill, glad you figured this out. I swear we almost never ever sell a ignition switch for a 15/16 series....so something odd had to be happening. I put some big Cibie lights on my new Jeep. I upsized the wiring and installed relays. My switches only provide a signal to the relay, almost zero...

I like the idea. I had a Z06 that was Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic, otherwise known as DSOM with the Corvette crowd. Calling it "rust metallic" just wasn't catchy. Best color ever. Obviously the one on the left in the attachment.

I bet we have some sprinkler experts here. I've installed a few systems, so I know the basics. But we have decided to do a larger area now and this is a big pump, so I am beyond my area of expertise. We have a 200 GPM 15 HP pump that is set up with VFD for a constant pressure system. It...

As a dealer, we clearly tell folks that the factory warranty does not include hauling the tractor nor onsite service calls. It covers parts and labor, but the customer must get the tractor to our shop, or pay us to haul it. If you think about it, most items you purchase are this way. But this...

The first picture is the end result. This is what came through the screen. Here is the cast off that rolled off the screen. I'll let it mulch and sort it again next year. This is the ugliest "mulch" pile I had. I never really intended to sort this out, it was just a pile of clippings and...

I admire that you could stop. Here we are on Saturday driving down a gold rush era road that hasn't seen much care since that time. We didn't need the winch, but we did use all the suspension we had available....

Go with LEDs if you want some serious light. The first picture is the normal front lights. The second is a pair of Rigid Dually Floods. The part in front of the hood is a snow blower that you can just see the top of. For the rear, one Rigid diffused covers a very wide area. The problem with...

These were mounted off the base of the ROPS, using existing bolts. One forward and one back on each side, so 4 lights total. The purpose for this tractor was mainly snow removal. You can sort of see the front mount blower in the previous post. If we mount them up high on the canopy or out...

LED lights are very cool. Check out these shots. Left side headlights only. Right side headlights are still on with a pair of Dually LEDs. Same camera settings and exposure.

Here is our ROPS base bracket. Folks should feel free to copy our design. It works well. It would not be good for a soft cab obviously.

Rigid Dually flood 20211 for the pair, and on the back we use Dually diffused 60 degree lens, part number 20251 for a pair. They are roughly $200 per pair with a switch and wiring harness, and worth every penny. Here is a picture of the diffused on the rear. The diffused doesn't reach out...

Here is a photo of normal headlights on the right, and then with a pair of Rigid LEDs we mounted on the left. The Rigid LEDs make the stock lights seem like candles. We mounted these to brackets that bolt to the base of the ROPS. I was with the tractor when we took these pictures, and it is a...

Is this fresh news? I just read it this morning, but I don't follow the Bobcat brand closely. The good thing is that Bobcat will surely continue to support the tractors for a while, and Kioti should always be there for parts if needed. Industry News - Bobcat Discontinues OEM Tractor Agreement...

Here is the new 3616 Mahindra cab model. Built in Japan by Mitsubishi, loader lifts 1600 lbs. It's a very nice compact unit. Available this fall in limited numbers until they get production really ramped up. Available in shuttle or HST.

I heard through what appears to be a reputable source that NH was dropping most all of their Japanese manufactured (Shibaura) tractors in favor of a lower priced Korean manufacturer. Seems like a big change, since they have been with Shibaura for years and years, and it is a good tractor. Any...

We took in trade a Massey 1145 with a busted crankshaft. I believe this is an Iseki built tractor. Massey no longer can get a crankshaft. Any ideas on where to get one? If we can't we may part it out, too bad as it is a fairly nice machine. Has anyone just repowered one with a different engine...

Just amongst us Mahindra fans, isn't this cool? It shows that Mahindra is serious about quality, not just quantity. The article also goes on to say that Mahindra predicts to be #1 in tractor sales worldwide by 2009. It's a tall order, but they might just do it! Rural Lifestyle Dealer | Web Test

I just saw this on Equipment Dealer website. It's probably not news to you Massey fans, but it was news to me. I sell Mahindra, so I have no issues with Indian built machines, they provide a solid tractor for less money. Lessiter Publications - Farm Equipment

In California, a pickup is no longer a pickup if the GVWR tag is 11,500 or greater. Even if it is registered as a pickup and has the original pickup bed. This has some interesting ramifications. CVC 471. A "pickup truck" is a motor truck with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of...

Here are some pictures of a 2415HST with the new 1710B hoe.

I requested 20 backhoes and got 6. They will all be mounted by tomorrow and I am begging MUSA for more. As good of a saleman as you are, we'd be money ahead to buy you a ticket!

Nice looking place you have there! We are mounting backhoes tonight on 1815 and 2415's for the Tulare show. We have 14 tractors going to the show tomorrow. So if you can't find Wallace, you might find the World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA. :)

We took a IH 674 orchard model in trade recently that has some chipped/broken gears, and perhaps a bent shaft, in the transmission. Anybody on the left coast parting one out? The sheetmetal on ours is straight and the diesel engine runs great, so I'd like to fix it if possible. One of the gears...

I have a customer that owns an early eighties MF 205-4. 2-cylinder, appears to have Hinomoto origins. He'd like me to install a Koyker loader. Any suggestions on a mount kit for a MF or Hino that Koyker already builds that might fit? If not, we will fabricate one from a starter kit, but I'd hate...

Our church has a 5 acre lot that really needed mowing. It has been a super rainy spring, so the grass/weeds were 18" tall at minimum and hood high in some areas. As a member of the church and also a tractor dealer, we often will run a used tractor or two down and do the initial couple of...

Reg, I missed the dealers meeting as I couldn't make the meeting and the Tulare World Ag Expo both. I heard I really missed a good meeting! Other dealers wish to share? Dave

Hogan, Kukje (Branson) designed the engine as well, spending tens of millions in it's developement. Of course it had to pass all the Cummins standards, requirements and testing. So this is not just an off shore place to put parts together. The Kukje engines in the current Branson tractors...

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( So would it be possible to get motor parts from cummins? Would I need a serial num or something?)</font> No problem, you have an A2300, but the parts will likely be cheaper through Branson.

Branson builds all of the A-series Cummins engines for Cummins. On the 10 and 20 series, they use the same engine they sell to Cummins, but not labeled Cummins for marketing, servicing and license reasons. If you look at the engine ID numbers, they are the same as the Cummins and all parts are...

Branson continues to gain market share, continues to add new models, continues to produce the A-series Cummins, etc. They are only getting stronger.

I am looking for a Koyker loader mount that fits or is close for this N239 4wd model. Some of these Hino's were close to the Duetz Allis 5220, some were a lot like Massey's, but I'm not sure on this one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

We are travelling to India, leaving tomorrow, for 10 days to visit the Mahindra facilities as a part of a group of dealers from the USA. Part of the time will be at the Mahindra plant, and much of it will be seeing the sites of India, the Taj Mahal, etc. I'll have my digital camera handy. We...

I'm looking to buy a skid steer here in Northern California for a few projects I have, namely moving a big pile of topsoil, some sand, gravel, etc. I used to own a Bobcat 753 and I am looking for something along those lines again. I will resell it in a couple of months when the project is...

Can anyone supply me with an oil filter number for Wix, Napa, Baldwin or similar for the E350. Thanks in advance.

We just received our first shipment of backhoes for the 15 series Mahindra's. Very nice. They dig 7'10", weigh 1150lbs, and mount on a real nice subframe. We mounted a 2710 on a 2015 and a 3710 on a 2615 today. The specs are the same for the 2710 or the 3710. They are essentially the same...

I am looking for suggestions on canopies or sunshades for Mahindras. What brand do you have on your Mahindra? If you are a dealer, what brand do you sell and why? Has anyone put a canopy on their 15 series yet? Thanks,

I need a clutch housing for a Yanmar YM1802D or 2002D. I have a customer that cracked his...BIG crack. If any of you are parting out such a tractor or know of someone who is, please let me know. Meanwhile, put a subframe under the tractor if you want to run a backhoe and a loader on one of...

I just took in trade a nice older TLB. I don't know much about these older Fords, so I could use some help. I looked at "The Vintage Ford Tractor Resource" on the web to try to decipher the model/VIN number, but I still wasn't able to figure it out. The numbers stamped on the pad behind and...

We have a D20P-7 on which we would like to install a rear remote hydraulic set-up. We will be pulling a wheel-disc and need the remotes for that. Does anyone have experience tying into the hydraulic system on one of these? Mounting a valve and the remotes will be easy, but we are wondering...

The TA Iseki's are very similar, so you will find some interest in the Iseki forum. Nice machines.

We just mounted this top and tilt with remote on a 3510 before delivering this TLB to a customer. It's best to never use a tractor equipped with TnT unless you are ready to buy the option. Very cool.

I looked at the Challengers at a farm show. They are built by Iseki and are very similar to the Iseki TA series. I was impressed with them, but they seem a little pricey.

I have an Iseki TA275F, which is very similar to a Massey 1240/1250, and the water pump is leaking. I do not know if they share the same pump. I am posting a picture of the pump. If am owner of a 1240/1250 could give me an opinion regarding the smiliarity or lack thereof, it would be appreciated.

Looking for opinions on Challenger pricing........ I'm not up on the pricing on these, but it is a very nice tractor. It's very much like an Iseki TA275F. We've had a few of these TA Iseki's, and haven't had any problems with them.

I just got in a TA275 4x4 with a factory cab. Since it does not have A/C and it gets real hot here in California, I am going to remove the cab. If any of you cooler climate guys have a need for it, email me and we can discuss details. I thought I'd Ebay it, but want to give you guys an...

If you are on or near the West Coast, don't miss the World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA on February 11-13. This is the biggest farm show in the world. Over 1400 exhibits. We will be at the Branson booth at M-50. Stop by and say hi. World Ag Expo Home Page

Has anyone cross-referenced a TU180F air filter element? It is different than the TA's, TL's and the 4-digit TU's that I have seen. It has a built on lid, it is about 9 5/8" long and the lid is about 5" in diameter, with the element itself having an OD of about 3.25". I looked through my...
