4530 Bad LucK???

[Scubapop]

I bough new 4530 in feb 06 and use on farm, raking, discing, box blade.
At 200 hours front spindles developed excess play and front end was replaced.
Unable to do spindles by themselves.
Also 225 hours clutch went out. Seal broke and oil got into clutch housing and
replaced entire cluch. put in new cermaic which now grabs at end stage.
Had tractor for 2 1/2 weeks to repair.

Dealer said normal for ceramic clutch.

Now 290 hours rear end started leaking.
Brakes seals out and had to replace both rear brakes.
after 2 weeks brough it back and right is tighter than left.

All was covered under warrenty, BUT,
wonder what will occur next.
This is my second Mahindra.
Had 2810 I trades for 4530.
Was having electral problems which were unable to be fixed.

I believe this has just about done me in on Mahindra.

I am sorry to hear about all the problems that you had with your 4530. Especially since that is what I am looking at buying. Do you know other people that have a 4530 and if so are they having any of those same problems. What does yor dealer say may have caused the problem with the clutch?? Once again sorry for your difficulties and I can only think that maybe every make of tractor has lemons from time to time-------I HOPE.

Dealer says has no idea.
Just happens.
Seems like a lot of things "happening".

Could you maybe share with us what you were doing with the tractor when it broke. Mahindras are built tough, I cant imagine all that happening at 225 hrs.
Can you share a picture of your tractor with us ?

There was an issue with the hollow shaft seal on some of the earlier 4530 models. Mahindra solved it. It would leak profusely on the clutch. Also, check the plugs on the back of the engine block, they plug some oil pressure ports. I've found a leaky one before. Make sure your dealer touches base with the Mahindra service rep for your area so he gets the proper fix for the oil seal.

When the cluch went out I was discing new water ways to sprig bermuda.

When the brakes started leaking and went soft, was brush hogging one of the pastures.

The dealer says he thought he had done all the updates and recalls on the
seals, when he picked it up this last time.

I will try and get a picture this weekend.

I have a 245 loader on it also.

I have two other, a 7830 and 4010 (my Dads old 63 model I drove as a kid) JD's for the heaver work.

Just disappointed in so much so quick.

Kioti should take notice......after all the posts about cracked loaders. Sounds like Mahindra want to make you a happy tractor owner.
