It was delivered June 14, 2024 @ 3:15 PM. The dealer installed a summit third function. I am waiting on Mahindra to send the mid mount mower to the dealer.

That's one of the new models, right?! That's exciting; I hope it's a great machine, and we want pictures.

Congrats on your new investment.

It is new. It feels good. Much better than the Kioti CS2220 that I have. BTW, the Kioti is for sale. 70 hours with a WR Long third function.

Well, not so good. I called this mornin to let the dealer know it needs to be worked on.
1 - Hydraulic fluid/oil leak
2 - Noise at rear when PTO is turned on
3 - Diff. lock will not disengage unless I pull it up
4 - I can't operate the park brake
5 - With loader arms empty the right corner hits the concrete floor first. It is more extreme with bucket or grapple attached

The fluid leak is probably at a fitting where they installed the third function.
I have no idea about the PTO noise nor any of the other stuff.

Oh wow! I hope that's just some teething issues and that the dealer will have you back up and running in no time.

Keep us updated!

I got it back (July 15, 2024). They picked it up on June 16, 2024. The mid mount mower is installed. The mower sounds like everything has no lubrication at all. Not like a blade scraping metal. Like dry gears on dry gears. They said it was normal.
i don't think it is normal!
I did not get any owner's manuals with it. I called the seller about that; he said it was on it's way to them by way of FED-EX. Shortly later I got a call from a lady in the office informing me that she got the manual from Mahindra. She will mail them to me.
Nothing has went according to the plan with this deal.
They still have a lug bolt on order from Mahindra for it.
Apparently, to install the mid mount mechanism they had to remove the rear wheels and one of the lug bolts broke. they had to drill it out, retap it and order a new bolt. They have no idea when the bolt will arrive. They put a normal grade 8 metric bolt in it's place.

Dealer should have caught those issues before delivering the tractor. I guess they just assemble the tractor and do no pre-inspection.
Make sure to give the dealer a bad review so others are warned.
