    Mahindra 1533 HST good battery, won’t turn on even into accessory mode

    My 08 5530 Mahindra battery was showing 12v and had lights etc;. Took out the battery and had it load tested at our local NAPA. Showed that it had no amps to crank over the starter. Installed new batery and started right off. Batteries are not like they used to be. idaho2

    New trailer for the gator

    We have a similar trailer with also a right front side ramp.. I had my neighbor weld 8 or 10 3" eye bolt "loops only" to the top rail. No need for D rings on the floor. Our 835i is secured by straps to these loops. These also work nicely for the ATV's during the hunting season.

    Bansil, Measure from the outside edge of the "landside" to the outer tip edge of the "Wing of Share". See attached photo, please disregard any spelling error on "landside" this was draw by mouse freehand. This is the width of the furrow for your tractor tire. Hope this helps. Idaho2

    going tomorrow to look at 2 blade Ford turn plow

    Bansil, With those tires on that Ford 5000 look for 16" bottoms. If you have not purchased a plow that would be a consideration. Two bottoms a minimum and three wood be better. The furrow that your plow will make with 16" will be wide enough for the right rear tire and less soil packing...

    going tomorrow to look at 2 blade Ford turn plow

    This a 10-209 Ford Dearborn 3 16's paid $495.00 back in Nov of 2010. Everything was painted blue and in 3hrs of plowing it scoured to a mirror finish. Quite pleased with it. Hope you can find what you want. You can easily remove the third bottom and use two until you need a third. as...

    Another plow setup question

    rbtj, Attached photo shows my stabilizer bars with my 3x16's plow. In my opinion, each implement requires it's own three point hook up "settings". IE; top link distance for plows, back blades, box blades and so forth. The lower arms on some tractors have adjustments for each lower arm or...

    Another plow setup question

    The mast is the "A" frame and the feet of the A are attached to the Horizontal draw bar (cross member) held together by the two U bolts. Forget anything about the left side of the plow. For clarification the Right lift pin (Cat 1 or 2) is the Large bolt thru the flange that is tapered and this...

    Fabric Buildings...Pros/Cons

    Looking at a 34' x 72' fabric (White roof) storage building with 14'x14' door at one end to include 36" x 80" man door. Level ground, no concrete just rock inside and raised about 4 to 6" above grade and rock aprons at both ends sloped away from the building. Winds mostly from the southwest...

    moldboard plowing 6530

    RMOMN, Draft control holds nicely at 8". Just be careful when lifting the 3pt that you do not accidentally move the draft control handle. Regarding your measurements on the rears, I get 48" plow width. Getting a 3pt plow setup takes time and if I plow this spring I will tweak it a little so...

    moldboard plowing 6530

    RMOMN I have a 5530 Turbo 4wd and I pull 3x16's @ 8" deep. No weights except a 266ML loader with the bucket for plowing. My plow is Ford/Dearborn 10-209 with coulters. A 6530 should have no problems with 3 16's. RMOMN, idaho2

    Ford Model 101 3 Bottom Plow

    I have a Ford Dearborn 10-209, 3 x 16's with coulters. Yours should scour just like mine after a few hours. Looks like yours has trip bottoms when striking a solid object. Once you have it setup to your tractor the art form of plowing begins. Idaho2

    Any 08' 5530 owners, have you had a leak at the hydraulic suction strainer housing flange at the transmission connection. I replaced the O ring but continues to drip although less than before. Question I pose is would a fatter O ring solve this annoying drip. Idaho2

    3x16's PLOWING WITH 5530 4wd Turbo

    For any of you 5530 operators what is the max number of bottoms you plow with? Last weekend I got my Ford- Dearborn 10-209 with 3x16's setup. The land had not been tilled in 15 years and was not sure what to expect. What an easy pull that has been for the Mahindra, 3rd gear low range and at...

    Went to my paying job and minding my own.....

    But the day would get intersting very quickly. I saw in the local newspaper the day before about how the city rejected bids on two surplused items. Ok, just local news no skin off my nose. Didn't pay attention to the entire article, but our maintenance man did. He told me he bought a...

    Obtrusive advertising links

    TBN'rs, Has anyone notice that on some forum titles, the second response link is an obtrusive ad that has nothing to do with the subject. It claims to be a sponsor link.:confused: Well if it's a legitimate advertiser - join the rest of the advertisers in their column. Maybe the TBN admins...
