Mahindra 4110 prices

[zekeman]

My First and current Tractor is a Mahindra 4110 with FEL, bought it used with 350 hrs and a transferable (up in Jan. 05) warranty - 425 hrs on it now, one time major warranty repair was a new pto shaft- company fixed under warranty even though it was more operator error then tractor defect. I Have Horse's and 31 acres of rocky and forest land and has done everything I needed it to do, including Removing a hill on the side of my house and filling in a pond with the dirt, I have pushed over small trees (6-8 in) roots and all,( the tractors weight give it more power then I expected), and have actually done some hay at my neighbor's farm when his machine broke down ( I buy my hay from him). plus the everyday manure and fence posts chores. I do not regret buying this tractor, it has made my life easier, because I was doing a lot of the above by hand for the last 7 years (since starting with Horse's). My dealers current price for the 4110 with loader is $18500.00 Good luck shopping- and if you should find that perfect tractor that never needs repair let me know
P.S. Forgot to mention pulling down logs from the mountain for firewood

Guys all I can do is tell you the truth. That is that I am dissatisfied. I understand all tractors break down. However a person should not have the trouble I had with a new tractor! I started my tractor all summer long with a screwdriver. I should not have had to do that. For some reason my tractor has eaten 2 starters. Actually just the solenoid, but none the less. My dealer has been extremely slow in dealing with anything that happens IF he does. Most things I have fixed on my own. I would be glad to sell any of you guys out there my Mahindra!

You just answered your own question,, the dealer takes his time, if he wants too. My only issue, the Bradco hoe with not enough hydraulic power to run properly, I have to say, that my dealer, New England tractor, did tell me up front, We will fix it one way or another and it probably will take several weeks to do so.. They did in fact spend hours on various phone calls between Bradco engineers, Mahindra in Texas ( only U.S. office at the time) and my self. The reason I know this is those same people they talked to, also called me within minutes of their phone calls. A decision was made, I want to say Mani Isheyer (sp) a Mahindra VP of some department, the dealer, and I agreed to their change design... Start to finish it was probably 7 weeks or so.. The end result was a well designed PTO pump w/15 gall reservoir and the hoe works flawlessly. I have called the dealer for simple things like what filters, kinds of oil, ordered other hoe buckets, or whatever,, always right there or they tell you, we'll find out and get back. Never more than 24 hrs for an answer... I am a beleiver now that a dealer can make or break a pleasant tractor experience vs non pleasant,,

Yeah I called my dealer when I couldn't get my pto to work and he said he had no idea what could be wrong and he'd call Mahindra and get back to me. Well that was about 3 weeks ago and he never did call back. I called them and every time conveniently the owner is out and the service dept says he is the only one that knows what Mahindra said could be wrong. Now I fixed my pto by adjusting the lever that engages the pto, but point is they never did get me an answer they just put me off. Now whether that's Mahindra or the dealer it's wrong. The thing that urks me the most is after I had my starter changed the first time it wasn't 3 weeks and the solenoid that was out again. That time it took me all summer to get them to come look at it. Now did you start your tractor all summer with a screwdriver, then have the steering pin fall out, then wait weeks for a fix?

It's up to you to call Tomball Texas, demand to talk to someone in charge and explain what is going on,,, You will get results I am sure,, This is obviously a dealer who hasn't a clue where to turn or how to fix things. He is just using up time hoping you will forget whatever the problem is,,, I wouldn't waste another second and call and complain direct to Mahindra... I did this with the hoe issue,, In retrospect, after calling my dealer and knowing I was going to call Texas, I was extremely harsh to those in Texas.. I didn't have to be that way or come off that way simply because Mahindra would have addressed the problem anyway,, I have heard of other issues, all basically minor, where the guys call Texas direct and all have got quick and satisfactory results... I think this is the avenue you should approach as talking to your dealer you might as well talk to a tree in the front yard..

I have to cringe when I read letters from dissatisfied Mahindra owners. In central Wisc, Mahindra is an unknown brand and I seem to always find myself defending my 4500's durability and reputation in the world market. I tow it on a triaxle gooseneck trailer to the jobsites and at every stopsign and stoplight, I often get the quizzical look and stupid smile from someone who is probably thinking I'm a peddler or like I just got it from a hardware store. If my 4500 had lips...I'd kiss it! I don't hope for it to do the job, I demand it! I don't hope it will start in the cold mornings, I know it will. Was I just lucky with this model meeting my expectations? Did I just get a good tractor built on the right day of the week? I'll be darned if I would cross the posts on the solenoid to get it to start. Anything less than what I bought or was led to believe is unacceptable! Improper grounding has been a problem for Mahindra and a topic that I have expounded on in various topics in this forum. I'm lucky in that I have an excellent dealer 210 miles away. Luckily for him or I, I have not needed his services and when I have my tractor in his area on one of my jobs.....I take it in for normal servicing.
The dealer is responsible for servicing the machine you bought from him. Read back the topics in this forum and whenever a dealer couldn't/wouldn't/can't resolve your particular problem - a call to Mahindra resolved the problem. There is always an excellent rep serving your territory and he'll get you results. If you somehow got a "lemon" - demand a factory buyback. One mistake that Mahindra made when they introduced sales in the U.S., was to allow any mom/pop dealer into the fold. This was a bad choice from Mahindra's standpoint but it isn't your problem now. Resale values on tractors is about the same as on a car/truck. The hobby farmer's glut market for a tractor has been filled and you will sustain a loss on trying to trade in your Mahindra for the other color or brand. You bought a product expecting it to perform......it is up to you to demand exactly that piece of equipment NOW!!!!! Hang in there and good luck!

Heck of a letter, I agree 100%, bought my 4110 used on Sept 15, 2004 with 350 hrs, now up to 435 hrs and have not been dissapointed yet, the small stuff that goes wrong you expect, especially since I bought used, but this is a strong tractor I'm
glad to have.

I have to disagree with with KenB on Mahindra quality. His price range is about right. I looked around a bit before buying a Mahindra 4110 at the dealer 10 minutes from my home. I paid 18,600 before trade. Mine has a KMW FEL and industrial tires. I have over 100 hrs on mine in 5 months and I have not had any of the problems KenB described. I have driven compact John Deeres and I like this better. My only concern is the steering cylinders exposed in the front could be damaged on stones or stumps. I will be building a bumper for the front next spring. The local dealer provides great support. I know that at least 3 local farmers stripped thier oil plugs out by overtightening the plug. Mahindra and the dealer replaced the pans for free.

It would seem, from reading most Mahindra posts, Mahindra is not immune from issues and that if you read post's on other brands (big three) neither are they. Most seem to have positive experiences with Mahindra and there is no indication others won't feel the same way.
