Mahindra 2615 durability?

[PBinWA]

The Mahindra 2615 is built by Mitsubishi and has been around for a very long time. The parts availability is excellent (filters are expensive though). They were sold by Cub Cadet before Mahindra and the engines can be found on tons of different small excavators and utility equipment.

I talked to a Kubota salesman recently whose girlfriend did warrantly paperwork for the local Mahindra dealer and he admitted he was amazed at the low rate of warranty work.

I found it hard to take many dealers word for anything when tractor shopping. I liked my dealer's honesty which is why I purchased from him.

Well I was looking at tractors last year and happened to stop at the New Holland dealer. He told me that Mahindra was a class "c" tractor and New Hollands were class "a". I never heard that before, anyhow he went on to tell me how the Mahindra tractors don't last etc, etc..I have had my first problem with a slight ticking in my 2615 gear, and my dealer came to my home, picked up the tractor, fixed it and delivered it the following day. No more ticking sound, and it looks like it did the day I bought it. I am sold on RED.
Now I know that the problem was minor in nature, the valves became a little loose, they think they were set off spec at the manufactor. We will see, but I trust their opinion and believe I won't have anymore problems with it. So far the tractor has done every thing I have wanted it to do. I brush hog approx 30 acres with a 5' brush hog and it never over heated once. I have a good machine.

Just a thought after that line. When I was looking at tractors I really wanted a Massey Ferguson but could not find a recent model used one any where for a year. I saw numerous new hollands that were traded in with 100-600 hrs. You take it for what its worth but that tells me something.

Interesting ......When I was looking at tractors at my Mahindra dealer, he said earlier in the day he had to pick up some parts from the local New Holland Dealer. Whilst there, NH dealer told him that Mahindra was really starting to make noise in the market with some very good products.
