7520,
Nice choice, the 7520 has answered every thing us Mahindra dealers, and our customers have been asking for, and more. Mahindra has really come through for us. As far as your break in period, 50 to 100 hrs are good, change all your filters at 50 hrs, and follow the routine service schedule on page 85 of your owners manual. Good luck & have fun with 7520.

Glawall: Quick question: I have a '02 6000 4wd w/FEL. I have a 170 hours on it and find it to be a real "beast" (I have the rears filled as well). Since the 7520 and the 6000 seem to have the same CID (whereas the 7520 has a turbo unit as well) I had heard last year that the head bolts should be retorqued at 50 hours as well. I asked my dealer and he advised that my unit did not need the retorque as the change in the manufacturing process took care of that. Do you happen to know what the serial # of the 6000 is that went to the new process?? ( I understand that the pneumatic pressure used on the impact wrenches was "off" for a while and caused the less than spec torque values). Did I hear wrong?? BobG in VA who started the 6000 and ran it today after a week of "teens" temps.

congrats 7520,
I also have a 7520 and so far I really like it. I had a 6500 that I purchased last March and then when the 7520 came out, I had to have one. I really loved my 6500, but I really disliked the platform as I really felt cramped. The 7520 really seems to be quite the tractor so far, I only have 20 hrs on it so far. I do have to say though that I felt that the 6500 did start a little better when it is really cold and also runs smoother when first started. I have a fel and I believe 4 weights on each rear tire. I didn't want the fluid in them at this time and I haven't had any problems at all. I also use the forks I made for the fel to haul large bales and it works great!! Congrats and good luck! We'll have to keep in touch and let each other know how we're getting along. I have had to have a neutral switch replaced so far on the pto neutral switch. It was just sticking a little bit and was operating intermittently so I had it replaced otherwise all else is well.

Powerhouseboy and 7520:
Can either of you post a picture of the back of the unit please. Would also like to see the platform. I have been waiting to see this unit and up grade from my 6000. Talking with my dealer, seems to be concern 3pt hitch is low in the back. Heard Mahindra was going to redesign. Can you confirm? What can a fella expect to pay for this baby?

Hi All,

I really like the look of 7520 and have looked for some pictures but not to many of what I want to see close up. How the instrument panel look & the control valve for for loader.

WOuld any of you mind posting some pictures of these?

Thanks,
Maka

slippy I have only used 3 pt with bale spear. Picking up 5x6 bales had to let lift arms down all the way to hit the bale 3 in. above center. I have not used any other impliments so I can't really say. This tractor is really beefy. The platform is the reason I went with 7520 instead of 6500. The 7520 has lots of extras. Just go look and see for yourself. Let me know how it goes.

I would like that but no dealers around me have one in stock. Got any pics of rear and platform?

 

[powerhouseboy]

Well, I took some pics. Let me know if you need anymore.
