Hydraulic pump

ebeacham · Jun 22, 2003

Hey Guys,
Just wondering wether or not any of you have found aftermarket high performance parts for your Mahindra. I would really like to increase the output of my hydraulic pump because I am going to set up my loader to use skid steer attachments. I am also looking for someone who can build ( or sells )a quick disconnect for the ml 112 loader.
Thanks

Mahindra recently introduced qucik attach buckets and implements as well as skid steer compatible buckets and attachments. These are available for the ML112 loaders as well as most other FEL models.

where on the net does one check into and can "see" these new quick attachments?

can't answer your question about the main 7.8 GPM pump.. I can tell you though, I have a prototype PTO pump and tank system that I am getting reay to try out as soon as we see sunshine.. Enough rain already..

Could you please post a link to see this equipment?
Thanks,

How is that pump working?

Eric,
To be nice to Mahindra, after many complaints and about two months time, I was told to bring the tractor back to the dealer for this pump install. They had it about a week and did the install. Brought it home, pouring rain and tested it quickly.. 9 feet deep in virgin soil, about 6 minutes. It does act and operate almost 100% as a full construction backhoe. I was quite pleased with that little test.. We have had 27 days of rain in 32 or so days. So the machine sits. We, finally have had 5 days of little to no rain. Been staining house and until this is done. I'm not near the machine w/backhoe hooked up. I did spend three days and hog mowed 19 acres of hilly fields. This 4110 is exemplary in this mode.. When finished staining, I have a 60 foot ditch to re-route in another direction. I'll let you know how the hoe works then as this is tough digging in this particular area of our property.. I believe this 11 ft Bradco and this new pump set up will work just fine with no hic-cups or problems. I also received an e-mail today, that this particular PTO pump/tank system is a new option being offered or very soon to be offered.. I wouldn't have a clue what costs would be, but, I have to say whoever designed this system, took their time and is designed very well. They very easily could have used polyetheline tank or similar. No go, they used 1/4 inch steel and all in this design is bullet proof or damned close to it. If interested, e-mail Mahindra marketing and see what they can tell you. Now, I've heard about a better designed FEL and quick attach systems for same, been looking on the web and haven't found or seen anything yet. Maybe something will be available soon. I would be interested in a new FEL tower system if it allows more line of sight and possibly more lifting power. Quick attach is also very high on my lists..

Thanks for the reply, let me know if you find out anything. If Mahindra does not come up with anything for a quick attach or if it is too expensive or incompatible with SSL stuff then i am going to have something fabricated.

finally tried the PTO pump, ripping roots that were so old and knotted together,I thought I was tearing through a braided rug. About1200 engine rpm and this thing did great. Only dug down 18" and cut 40' through this mini jumgle. Did a great job that new pto system

Mahindra has a line of SSL attachments. Bale Spear, Pallet Forks, etc

Got any links?
Thanks

What is the GPM rating for that PTO unit?
Thanks,

It looks to me like a planetary gear set up. Two parts to the pump or rather, two sections. Bottom section slides onto the pto shaft along with a very heavy duty brace/bracket that conveniently clips on where the draw bar goes. No chains or other items needed to hold pump in place or from spinning. From pto shaft, it is machined housing up to the actual pump. The side rails that the hoe hangs on tracotr rails have been extended about 8 or so inches. This, was to allow for the steel 18 gallon hydraulic tank. Of course the hydro lines go back and forth under there. The pump is 11 GPM at 2600 PSI. At 1200 or so RPM's, simple digging can occur without a problem. When I get to that long ditch that I know is heavy boulders/rocks and hard clay, I am sure I'll have to run it at 2600 or very near that to get full power. I also am quite certain it will perform super when I get to do it. Whoever at Bradco, certainly took their time and came out with a pretty decent design. I understand now that this (IS OFFERED) as a new option for those with large back hoe's. Should be well worth the added investment although I have no idea what they will charge for it.

It's only 11 gpm? I would have thought that a PTO driven pump would deliver more than that.

lamarbur · Jul 8, 2003

A Bradco 511 hoe needs 11gpm to operate correctly. This is well advertised in various places on the net. Their own web page, the same dealer who I bought from, etc, etc. More GPM is just as bad as too little, like trying to run it off the 7 gpm pump that is standard on our tractors. Go with what Bradco (knows) will work,, and Mahindra at least did this.. It is working superb now and I can't say enough for whoever designed this set up..

ebeacham · Jul 9, 2003

It seems that most SSL implements/attachments need @ 15 gpm as a minimum. I wonder if Mahindra could accomodate those numbers?

lamarbur · Jul 9, 2003

I really can't answer this one Eric. If it was me, e-mail Mahindra mktg and tell them, I want this SSL set up, this particular implement, which requires (X) GPM to operate, and how do I approach this? What does Mahindra do to approach this same problem or are you looking into it now? What does Mahindra offer as an alternative?

If I was to have one major complaint against Mahindra, it would be timing. They did in fact follow through on my complaint and rectified it, admirably. I brought up flat deck, flip over seats on a few ocassions. Asked the same question of Kioti, 2 months ago. Kioti mktg sent me an e-mail that they have already designed and will sell flat decks as an option in about 6 more months. What I am saying is that Mahindra I believe, loses too much time between Texas, India and the TYM factory in Korea. Too many months go by while less than a handful of people are really involved in the decision making.
Somehow, they are going to have to speed this process up and speed it up quickly. My dealer has several really great ideas they run by me in general chit chat. Seems it falls on deaf ears as it takes unreasonable time to think these things out. Mahindra is a great and wonderful tractor for sure. I just hope they get some serious thinking/doing it speed up, because if they don't, they will continually lose market share to those like Kioti, that do..Eventually, and I don't think it takes that long a time, they will cut their own throats and wonder what went wrong..
