Buying Advice Mahindra 6525?

[japody]

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with the Mahindra 6525 or any other model near this size? I'm thinking about one for my next tractor - including FEL, SSQA and filled tires. Thanks for any input!

Japody,
I have a 2007 6520 4WD with Bradco 511 backhoe and love it. Only things that have shut me down where a steering cylinder line leak and a crack in the hydraulic pump's pulley. That's all in a little over 800 hours. The 6520 was repalced by the 7060. Make sure it has two remotes.
hugs, Brandi

Thanks for the reply Brandi. I've read where some people had problems with the hydraulic lines placed under the tractor and hanging up on stuff. Have you had any similar problems?

No problems with snagged lines. But I had a some brush pull the neutral saftey switch wires off when I was brushogging. No problem until I tried to start the tractor after lunch.

If I do decide on this tractor, I'll have to see if there is anything hanging down and figure out how to secure it.

Thanks again.
