Mahindra: Nothing but problems

I have read all this and still am happy I bought Mahindra. I doubt they'll sue.

I think we are straying way off topic. If this is a topic of interest, it might be best to start a new non brand specific thread. Or maybe just figure that enough has been said.

I think that it becomes obvious early on with a poster if he is really seeking help, or just brand bashing and trying to get their pound of flesh. If someone is just trying to damage a manufacturer and really isn't looking for a solution then I personally give them zero help. On the other hand if a guy is just frustrated and has a legit problem, I think we are all ready to help.

Just my opinion....:confused3:

Mahindra has bigger fish to fry than this stuff that would only call attention to an issue that may or may not be an issue. Beyond us, this will never see the light of day and my guess is there are a whole bunch more people with good stuff to say about the company than bad.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

I agree completely. As in all posts, several issues come forth depending on the thought process of the poster. The possible legal issues were brought forth as a side note. I do not think anyone was "practicing law" so that was baiting that did not have to be taken. "Nothing to see here" may be true of this particular subject but no knowledge is not worth knowing as it applies to libel and slander. "Free speech" does have it's limitations as far as protection but knowing how to deliver a concern can mean all the difference in the world as to how much of that protection is afforded if it ever comes down to that no matter what one is dealing with.

Legal advice on a tractor website? It's worth what you paid for it.

You wouldn't pay for it if it came from a lawyer that belonged here. From whence it came but best know the source no matter what advice you receive.

I have had a Mahindra 6000 4WD for a few years now. Never been sad about it. I have about 600 hours on it and had my first issue today. Still not unhappy with it. Its a hard working machine. Good luck with yours.

My 4010 has been at the dealer for a total of over a month this year. I'm afraid to take the **** thing out of the barn. Junk, Junk, Junk

Maybe time to regroup and move forward?

Less than a year ago I unwittingly purchased a Mahindra 4035 HST which has proceeded to have nothing but problems. The hydraulic line leaks because the main return from the loader was kinked and leaking. Next the fuel line started leaking. Now the electrical system is on the fritz and keeps blowing the starter relay fuse. Further the big hunk of useless red steel died in the middle of the street when I was plowing and I had to push it into a driveway.

Mahindra customer service has acknowledged my emails, but they have taken no action after a week.

The tractor has 41 hours on it and I'm kicking myself in the butt for being so gullible for buying this hunk of junk. Buy red save green. that's crap. By red see red because you'll be mad at yourself and embarassed for being so stupid as to buy an off brand tractor.

Rush Limbaugh should be ashamed for advertising this piece of junk.

Let me tell you, if you want a headach and for the tractor to stop working before your finished with it, go ahead and get a Mahindra. The fit and finsih of these tractor is absolutely unacceptable. They have hoses routed next to the exhaust manifold, wires going through the fire wall without grommets to keep then from shorting on the sharp edges and hydraulic hoses that look like they were tied in knots before they were hooked up.

I'm an engineer, and I have never seen such a poorly constructed piece of equipment.

I hear what you are saying. The quality, design, and functionality just don't seem to be there. I have had my 5035 for 2 years now, and its always something which is failing. The latest is brake lights which either work or don't, tach not showing true engine speed. Glow plug doesn't come on unless the switch is jiggled and now on my second replacement. Waiting for dealer to let me know when they are floating it up for repairs on PST frozen cable. Told the dealer that I don't want the bloody thing back til its fixed right. Also told them if it continues to perform poorly it will be traded in on Kubota since they won't buy it back at wholesale price. At least my Kubota dealer does not charge me to float the tractor in for service when its under warranty, Mahindra does. I told the dealer I am not paying to float it up everytime something is wrong. At least they are not charging to float it up to fix the PST and ignition again. Can't really blame the dealer but blame Mahindra.

Does Mahindra actually know what quality control is? It sure does not look that way to me dmize. I appreciate the frankness in telling it like it is.
