I have never owned your make and model of tractor, but it definitely seems that with that low number of hours on the machine, the warranty should cover the problem. How long is the warranty? It sounds as if you purchased the tractor new. I realize that you are aggravated and disappointed, and these feelings are most certainly warranted and understood. At you previously mentioned, place a call to the Dealer and explain the situation early Monday morning. Just a thought? If it were me, I would be at the front door of the Dealership Monday morning when the doors first opened. Best wishes.

It happens... case and john deere sometimes have to do "early" warranty work on tractors that cost $130,000 or more.... hopefully your just venting here and would be cooled down by the time you call your dealer.

I was running a 300,000 dollar Volvo rock truck with less than 500 hours on it loaded with 40 ton of heavy wet topsoil up a steep lope when the transmission basically exploded about 7 years ago. They fixed it in 2 days. factory defect. Crap happens man. when crap happens, it doesnt single out brands.

You have a 5 year parts and labor warranty. The longest in the industry.

Hang in there Mahindra warranty service seems to be very good. I forget I had a low number of hours on my new tractor and blew an o-ring fluid all over the place. I called the dealer they came out picked up tractor about 9AM and retured it to me same day about 2PM. Fixed and power washed the whole unit, but not a problem since and just turned 200 hours. Good luck hope your dealer is as good.:thumbsup:

Stuff happens, that is why the tractor has a warranty. I had a 76 Dodge powerwagon that was back in the shop three times for a broken part in the trans [ front of the trans where the throwout bearing slid ]. They finally found that there was something wrong with the bell housing, new bell housing, no problem after that. My Mahindra is pushing 100 hours, and not even a drop of oil underneath yet... Gonna be lots of oil underneath in a few weeks when I get around to changing the trans and engine oil though. Good luck with your tractor, probably just something simple, with many years of good times ahead. Stuff happens...

Warrenty work is paid for by Mahindra. Theres no reason for dealer to not want to fix your tractor. It's money in his pocket. Won't cost him a dime. Disheartening, but I'm sure your tractor will be just fine. Jim

Don't be surprised if they charge you for the 'drive time' (service charge).

I know, I know, but still....grrrrrrr....I'm mentally gearing up for a bit of a squabble cause I'm thinking the dealer will want to charge for travel which I don't think I should pay for, I mean, really ? 25 miles ? And, I just spent over $20k with him less than a week ago, hopefully he will prove me wrong, gonna give benefit of doubt until proven wrong...

Dealers, would you charge for travel in this instance ?

Thank for sympathy n kind thoughts !
