Mahindra 5035
New member
BAD WORD BAD WORD, I have a 5035 HST owned a 3215 HST for about 4 and half years. Never a problem or issue great tractor. Upgraded to the 5035 HST, and BAD WORD. The tractor it's self is a work horse, but the parts quality has got me worried. At about 25 hours the fuel lines went bad (dealer replaced with higher quality under warranty). At the 50 hour service I found that strange metal bracket that an other post had talked about, right next to the oil filter. Serves no purpose and can't find where it came from. Now used to keep the owners manual from blowing away. Did the 50 hour service, who ever designed the strainer cover hates me. So 10 gallons of new hydro oil and off I go to do some loader work. And now my tractor at hour 58 loses a crimp on the factory hose that supplies the loader valve block, and the crimp on the hose that supplies the PTO is leaking. Tech guy came out and with many interesting thoughts was able to remove the hoses. Stated they have been going back and forth with Mahindra about the quality of hoses they are getting supplied. So here is my thought what is next in the hose department. Come on Mahindra I love the tractor but am finding hard to say very nice things if your factory supplied hoses fail. Oh and we are still trying to figure out who is paying for the 10 gallons of hydro oil that we have to replace as we had to drain it to get the hose off. More BAD WORDS. Just my two cents as I sit and look at a broken tractor and drink a beer
