1000 Hours

[bindian]

My 2007 Mahindra 6520 4WD hit 1000 hours last weekend. Only problems I have had, besides operator error, is replaced the hydraulic pump drive pulley and replaced the 90 degree fitting going into the steering cylinder. I do have a few seeps, but every "experienced" tractor I have ever seen has seeps. When in the barn, I use 4 drip pans under her and the BH. I love everything about this model, except not having the 17gpm hyd. pump the 7520 has.

Nothing like a good "experienced" tractor.

Thanks Guys. Experienced tractors are special. I love every minute on the Big RED Beast.

a thousand hour machine should have no seeps, IMO. I wouldn't worry about them too much, but I would be displeased. 1000hrs in 7 or 8 years is not much. The inactivity will definately create seeps.

My Deutz started to get seeps at about 6000hrs. Now, at 9000hrs there are several...seeps. My 2013 Kioti at 800+ hours has no seeps yet. I am happy about that. The big leak that has occurred twice due to a blown o-ring I could do without though, Lol.
