Mahindra 5155 Anyone?

[C79]

I was told there is an aftermarket brand that is far better than the Mahindra diverter. The name escapes me at the moment but I will post when I find it.

WR Long is the brand. The dealer said these were far better quality and the third function would be a true remote and not just a diverter. It will however still be low flow.

Mahindra 5155L on 5145, 5155 Tractors (12gpm) - VKMH5155L

Try this link. This is a WR Long 3rd function kit. It says it’s rated for 12 GPM which is more than the tractor puts out. So it shouldn’t be the limiting factor. Certainly more than adequate for most things you tend to stick up front.
How do you like your 5145 so far? Hours? Pics? Thoughts?

Andy,
I got the call today. I should be getting my 5155 Monday unless it gets held up in transit.

That’s awesome! Put some pics up when you get take delivery. I stopped into see Mark a couple Friday’s ago on the way down to my property. He said you had gone in and ordered it. I really hope you like your new tractor and have started a good relationship with Mark too. He’s going to make me a set of tire chains for next winter to help with snow removal.

As with previous posts by others, I have a 2019 4550 and while it is an awesome tractor, it is not the best for my use. I live in the mountains of northern New Mexico at 8,000'. I mostly do forestry type work which involves a lot of short movements. I use a KRPAN forestry winch to move the trees around. The very frequent shifting on the 4550 is difficult due to the straight cut gears and lack of sycnro.

While I like the heftiness, strength and wide stance of the 4550, I want something more suited to my needs and that looks to be the 5155 which is not much different in stats from my 4550. While the 5145 might be sufficient, since I am at high altitude, the dealer says the turbo 5155 would not have as much power reduction.

So after much reflection on whether it is worth spending quite a bit for shuttle shifting and a few other features, I have decided to go for it and will order it next week and trade in my 4550 which has few hours and has been garaged.

Awesome! Thank you.

SoldierP,
Having owned many deisel trucks over the years and taking hunting trips into the San Juan range above 8000ft I would concur the elevation would effect the performance. I noticed the truck running different at those elevations. I would also inquire if there are settings and adjustments that could be made to the fuel air ratios that would accommodate your needs. Just a thought,

Awesome! Nothing like that feeling of seeing that new machine being driven off the truck. What are you initial impressions of it? Did you get the rears loaded?
