2810 2615 questions

[shvl73]

wow. I greatly appreciate the input. Where is the best (or good) dealer in NH?

There are only a couple in NH, where are you located?

Joel,

As I also own a 2615 and am also 6'+ (6' 1", actually), you've piqued my interest with your stated modifications. If possible, could you explain in a little more detail how you modified the shifter and gas tank?

Thanks,

BR

No Problem-
1) shifter- remove rubber shift nob- with sawzall cut at where the shifter bends ( you can use the shift nob to give you an idea of how it will fit) pushshift nob back on
Note: the nob will be close while in 2nd gear- yet still works very good without any problems- The position is so natural it's not funny + no more catching the shifter on your shorts/pants.
The cutting of the shift handle is the hardest part of the 3 step process-as it moves around alot- 2 people make this job easier.

2) seat: bend the "stop" tabs with a long screw driver- doesn't have to be much- still plenty of seat notches -this will allow for acouple inches of adjustment

3)gas tank- I picked up 4- 1" metal spacers (local hardware store) along with 4- (I believe) M8 bolts 45-55mm- Undue the bolts and move back the tank with spacers and rebolt- -----able to do this by yourself
This moves the tank back 1" which then allows the seat to be moved back even more.

Everything works get and makes the clutch so much easier to use without having your knees hit the steering wheel.

Any more questions feel free,
Joel

I own a 2810 HST with close to 700 hours on it.....

I agree with what has been said .. The 2810 is a nice heavy tractor but the
FEL doesn't lift very much... You get use to it and learn what it can and can not do.....

The one thing that would take the 10 series tractors out of the running for me , that tractor has not been made under the Mahindra name for a few years and I have to wonder about part availability in 10 years.....

I have had a number of electrcial problems with mine .
Other than that it has been a good tractor...

The 15 series machines have a very good reputation.....

Dave in NH.......

Could not work out deal with Mahindra dealer..got the "I have to speak to my manager" line though. He offered me JD3203 again at similar prices and an extended 5 year warrenty free. nah. Called the other 2 local (50+ miles away) Mahindra dealers and found they are or about to be owned by the same dealer.
Anyways they say if you snooze you loose and I did both. The TC30 is now $1200 more because the August 0% or 1200 cash back program is gone. Even appears Mahindra has cut their 0% programs back a year. Oh well, I may have found the cure for my tractoritis after all. May have a relapse come spring though.

Am I reading this correctly that there is a combo Deere+Mahindra dealer in New Hampshire or Maine? Now that would be worth the trip to see in person!

You ain't cured. Not by a long shot. Not a matter of *if* it will return. Only real question is when???
