Mahindra 5155 Anyone?

[Irish487]

Question for the Techs:

I have a 2023 Mahindra 5155 that just passed 50 hours. The dealership I bought my tractor from, no longer "deals" with Mahindra. They are refusing to do any service even though I purchased the tractor and implements from them. Found a service center about 25 miles from me, they are a stocking Mahindra dealer and have been since 2019.

I realize I could do the 50 hour service myself, does not look crazy complicated (at least from the service book standpoint) but I don't have the time or opportunity these days. So, I will take it to the new place I found. I was quoted "around $1,000 give or take" by the service manager yesterday on the phone. Super nice guy, answered all my questions, even put me on the phone with the tech who would be working on my tractor.

They offered for me to come by this weekend, and tour their facility, talk to the tech, see the workspace, and the fluids they use (oils, hydraulic fluids, etc).

Immediately I felt comfortable with them. I will transport the tractor there and pick it up.

Is "about $1,000 give or take" a reasonable quote? There is absolutely zero issues mechanically with my tractor. So, only the service will be done. Is this quote in the ballpark?

I just recently picked up everything I will need for the 50 hr service. Including 12 gallons of hydraulic fluid. My bill was $650. I would say with labor your $1000
Is about right.
I’m not a tech but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express

replacing the Hydraulic is 100hr service so the question of is the $1000 50hr service including the hydraulic needs to be asked, if it does then yes $1000 is reasonable if not it is $400 high IMO.

I recently joined. I really appreciate the comments and information that I have gathered. After reading through the 64 pages of posts, I haven’t seen much on PTO operation or issues. I recently purchased a 5145 with 150 hours. When I took it to the dealer for service I asked about common problems. The technician stated that they have had some issues with the PTO clutch and they think it was due to the engagement linkage not being adjusted correctly - clutch being pushed in too tightly. He showed me how hard mine had to be pushed before the PTO engagement stick would lock into position. He stated that they would loosen the linkage some - I haven’t let them do mine yet. I can see causing clutch problems if it isn’t engage fully, but this would be from too much pressure. Thoughts?

welcome and congrats, the 5145 is a hell of a tractor i think you will enjoy it, as to the PTO clutch issue i would not know i have never taken the cover off of it (yet).

We get $1400 for scheduled service of this machine at my shop.
It includes pick up and delivery.

does that include the hydraulic fluid change?

Yup
There is quite a bit of labor involved beyond that.
Greasing, clutch and brake adjustments, tire pressures, coolant checks, bolt torque specs, hydraulic pressure checks, etc, etc.
Just p.u. And delivery averages $300 and that’s for a short throw of a 20 mile radius.
At charges of $140 per hr, it adds up.
We do stuff the average home owner doesn’t.
A simple fluid change is best handled by the homeowner if possible imo not only to save money but to always have your tractor.

@arrow

Is the hydraulic fluid change part of the 50 hour service?

I admit, I don't know all that is done for the 50 hour service. Need to make sure I get everything done that is required. I'm taking it in next week.

Is the fluid change included in the $1400? or not?
