2015 Review

Charlie175 · Jun 14, 2008

Since the review section has some issues I will post it here.

I purchased the 2015 June, 2008 and so far I have 15 hours on it mowing, clearing brush and landscaping duties.
I find the control layout very nice and it fits my 6' frame well. It would be very easy to raise the seat more if needed.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the loader and find that it is very sturdy and easy to remove taking me about 6 minutes to remove/put on. I do take it off to mow with as it gets in the way. I need to weld on some hooks or something so that I can hook a chain to the front but I am sure this will just bend up the bucket.

I purchased a 60" KingKutter Finish Mower that does a pretty good job if you don't put it on the lowest setting as it tends to not scatter the clippings then. The tractor has no issue lifting it (even without the FEL) nor pulling it through tall grass. I do find that if mowing in low, I use 3rd but reverse is to slow when backing up. If in high I use 1st, but then reverse is to fast.

One of the best tools I have used is the 72" Bush Hog Rake. It really cleans up loose branches, weeds and is very sturdy. I have bumped trees with it but it has not bent. The tractor pulls it no problem so far, I haven't tried to really dig deep though

Overall I am surprised and please with the amount of work the 2015 can do, it is a very good all around tractor that is well built. If you just want a mowing tractor then I would get the Hydro as the gear model does not have Live PTO.

Below are some of the brush piles I have made plus some more shots of the tractor. I did lose the front axle fill plug as you can see but the dealer replaced it for free.

lack of Live PTO is an issue for mower.

My 2015 has been an awesome machine. I am closing in on 1 year of ownership and have no complaints whatsoever with my decision to go Mahindra. It runs fantastically, and I am still amazed at how much work I can get done with it! As my name suggests, I have been using the tractor for firewood gathering mostly and digging secondary and so far this year I am already close to cutting and splitting enough wood to meet an entire winter season! The cost savings to me for heating my house in the winter since I use a lot of wood is starting to pay off. Now my Mahindra is actually starting to really save me money.

My 2015 (gear) hasn't let me down yet either. I do ALOT of loader and backhoe work with mine. That tractor will continue to impress you as time goes on, and as you realize it's capabilities. Mine still does.

Yes I did remove the ROPS due to low branches snagging it all the time. I also removed the flashers for the same reason.

So far so good!

My dealer told me the other day all the 15 models are going on deep discounts to make sales and make room for the "new" 16 series.

I also lost my front axle plug and had to replace it. Thought I would be the only one. Also had a small hydraulic leak. Just a loose nut. Those are the only problems I've had. I really debated a larger tractor, but it still can do almost all the things I need it to. Mine is Hydro and I will probably never go back to gear. Great little tractor!!
