Mahindra 5010 Gear

Does the 5010 have a mid PTO. I want to upgrade my tc33 but need to run a front mount blower

No mid-PTO option on the 5010 of which I am aware. You might consider a 3616HST Cab with the optional mid-PTO. It would make a great snow blower tractor, and you could still use your TC33 implements.

Great stuff -- on popping out of gear in high range going down hill I have to ask: was this fixed by Mahindra? I ask because I'm now looking at the 5010 also and have 2.5-3 miles of steep road to work...would hate to have it pop out of gear constantly! Also would hate to have to tow it back to a dealer since that would be about 200+ miles of driving!

A little update from our looking into the cooling issue and the shifter detent issue:

On the cooling, the thermostat opens at 165 degrees. Combine a low opening thermostat temp, a big radiator, and a fairly large bypass hose and if you aren't working the tractor much the coolant remains about 165 degrees. The needle does not move off the cold peg until 50 C, or about 122 F. The OEM says this is as designed and all is well. The cooling system is desgined for a tractor that is using a good portion of it's 50 HP on a hot day, and will keep the unit cool. Running cool under a light load is going to be as designed for this unit. I suppose if the tractor always sees light work, one could ask Mahindra if a hotter thermostat would be appropriate, but honestly I'd just leave it alone.

On the detent issue, we have sold a bunch of these 5010's and we have seen this once, and it was almost the exact same scenario. It is with a customer with 2.5 miles of private gravel roads that he grades regularly. It is in the hills, and he too has a 10% plus grade and with the tires filled and a heavy float on the back, if he is in high range 1st gear under compression going down hill, with the float in the air, the shifter will walk itself into neutral. We replaced his detent ball and srping and that fixed it. 5 minute job. Phil, I'll order you one and you can see if this works for you as well.

Kind of a follow up on the running cool that Dave talked about, when I USE my 5010HST she will get up to mid range on the temp gauge and so far has gone no higher. I also 99.9% of the time here where I live have the A/C going full tilt from when I pull her out of the garage until she is put away at the end of the day. I never really noticed mine running on the cool side she always seems to warm right up where she is suppose to be, I hope to burn all the bad stuff up!:thumbsup:

I have the 5010 gear bought in 2012. If you're still interested mine shifts fine from first to second to third but doesn't want to shift between ranges on the move.
