Mahindra 2565 RPM Issue

Navasot · Jun 27, 2016

One question when your closing your tailgate do you bring the remote lever back to neutral?

Navasot,
Thanks for your input.
Not knowing your background (as you don't mine) I'll say (with no offense intended) that it doesn't seem that you are too familiar with Vermeer 5410 Balers.

From Vermeer 5410 Brochure:

Low hp tractors
and lower fuel costs.
With just a minimum 40hp tractor,
you're ready to roll, even in
heavy windrows!

I also spoke at length with Vermeer prior to buying the 5410 which I used trouble free for years with a MF 231 S (42 HP)

So when I bought a Mahindra 2565 I bought a tractor that did indeed have "at least 10hp of any recommended specs in the hayfield".
Frankly, I seriously doubt that any 65HP tractor that is functioning properly is going to have any trouble with a Vermeer 5410.
Some experienced hay balers have stated that they would, "Pay for a 5410 before they would run a free green baler."

Secondly, I do indeed "bring the remote lever back to neutral" when closing the tail gate.
As the tractor will not attain proper RPM with nothing attached to it even in neutral I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.

As an update:
I spoke with the dealer last Friday.
I was not surprised to learn that the fuel filter did not correct the problem.
He said they, "Have no idea what's wrong with it."
I suggested that he return the tractor and I would get it to a dealer who had a Dyno and could resolve the issue.
He thought I should leave it there for awhile as he had the Mahindra District Service Rep coming in to look at it, though he didn't know when that would be.
I just contacted my District Sales Rep (again) and we'll see what happens.

Sorry if I came across rude it was not what I was going for. And none taken im not one to be offended. as for being familiar I guess I could be a bit more.. iv only operated 5400, 5410, 5420, 605XL, 605K, 504XL, 505 classic, 605M, 605SM. gehl 1870-1875 and a few case and hesttons for round hay.. now in an office selling both these brands so may have lost some momentum

I likewise didn't mean to come across as rude, sorry if I did.
Obviously you have FAR more experience with balers than I ever will.
(I actually have FAR more experience than I ever cared to gain.)
Seems the old adage, "You've forgotten more than I'll ever know" would be applicable here.
I glad I only have to know a little about one round (Vermeer 5410) and one rectangular (Case IH 8530) baler.
If them scroungy horses would get stolen I'd be able to forget the whole hay thing.

My dealer just reached out to me with this:

Chris I have spoken to a service rep he wants me to reprogram throttle and check throttle cable location on fire wall

I'll let you all know how it works...please keep me updated if you find something different!

Got2BTru · Jun 29, 2016

He worked on it and here's what he said...

Hi Chris I work on tractor I believe I fixed throttle problem I rerouted throttle cable it had a very sharp bend when it came out of fire wall after it got warm I could see ware it might collapse and not let it travel full distance I'll be back out on Friday to reset the ecu I made the MIL light come on didn't have my computer with me Thanks Todd

I spent 2 1/2 hours on the land today brush hogging and had to stop to use the FEL to move a couple of large rocks. I lowered my RPM, stopped my PTO. I tried to bring up the throttle speed and it wouldn't go over 1500...ARGH! The dealer has had my tractor twice and came out to me 3 times now...I think I've been MORE than patient with this...
