I always find it interesting and amusing that for the most part (like 99%) of comments are always something negative, never positive. I guess owners with no issues don't have to go on a forum and belly ache. To coin an old adage... 'One bad apple don't ruin the entire peck'.

A peck is a unit of measure. 1/4 of a bushel.

On the facebook Mahindra forum there are many disgruntled owners. Way more than here.

I have seen that as well yet a poll showed 90% of them are happy with their machines. Maybe the poll was stolen. I am looking out the sequel, "13 Mules" to verify.

I’m a new owner of a 5145 the first payment just cleared my bank. I broke the spider gears in the front axel at 20hrs. Stuff happens but the important part is that the dealer just said I will be there to pick it up day after tomorrow, the next week they have it apart found the problem ordered the parts and had them in 3 days and are asking me when they can deliver it. Bottom line is I’m ruff on equipment and things will break but Mahindra stood behind their product and there was never a question about was it covered or what was I doing to break it. When I asked the dealer what the chances were that Mahindra would deni the clam, his answer was “ I hate to say 0%, but 0%”.
No manufacturer can make indestructible equipment and if you push it hard it will break, all they can do is stand behind the equipment and it looks like this guy was premature with the post and they have fixed the issue or so it appears to me.

Have a couple Mahindra sales brochures from about 2008 for the 30 series and also the little 25 horse model as well.
IIRC both say 98% of Mahindra owners would recommend Mahindra tractors to a friend.
Mahindra has such a diverse model line built by themselves and other companies, kind of hard to consider the design philosophy as one cohesive line from small to large tractors

My Lil 26 max has been running fine for 200 hours and 8 years.
My LS I've not been thrilled with. I'm not bashing the LS just hasn't made me as happy as the mahindra. So short story they all have good and bad

I don't have the big models only the eMax25 and then stepped up a bit to a Max26. Super happy with both.
Mahindra won over JD and Kubota in my research in getting a hobby tractor. I'm sure each mfg has skeletons.

Regardless, I hope Mahindra and the dealership make it right.
john Deere had my gator in the shop two months before corporate ok’d the warranty claim. It was a long time, I need it for fencing, but things being what they are these days, I was disappointed but not surprised. Ultimately, JD paid the bill (I was very nice and patient too…I think there’s truth in “honey catches the flies…”

That’s because people go on there to complain. It’s the same everywhere with everything. You only hear the bad stuff because everyone else is happy

Well said, Gotta love the sarcasm! Considering the title of the thread and the OP not posting again.!!!!WARNING!!!! DO NOT BUY ANY TRACTOR OF ANY MAKE! IT MIGHT BREAK AND YOU MIGHT HAVE A LOUSY DEALER OR MFG REP! So just stay there setting on your couch and life will be fine
Like another post said, I'm sure this problem was fixed and the OP might even believe that it was only fixed because he started this thread.

2014 3616 HST. Bought new. 900 hours now. Yes, we have had a couple small issues in 7 years. Biggest being pto clutch crapped out and had to split it, about 4 months after warranty was up. But I have done some hard work and even some abusive type tasks and have never broken anything on this tractor. Will I buy another Mahindra, absolutely. Will I recommend Mahindra, absolutely. But most of the dealers around me have dried up. This tractor has had no more issues than any other I've owned.

With that kind of manufacturer support, where would you buy it/parts? I'll stick with the long term'ers.
