Or that your fan belt is loose and slipping?

I think that it is a design problem, I have used the Mahindra 5500, I have used a JD 20 series and I have used a Case cx series in the same conditions on the same location and have not had to stop in the middle of the work and wash out the radiator. I too have sought advice from this forum and even posted things that seemed to work for me temporarily (feel free to search the Mahindra forum for my posts on this problem) With the radiator and air filter blocking the radiator and the muffler mounted on top of the motor I believe that it is indeed a design problem.
Where as you are able to clean your fins twice a year and get satisfactory results, I have to clean mine 6-7 times a day with either an air compressor or a 2450 psi pressure washer. Aggravating as #$@^, to say the least.
I don't believe that we can fairly compare mine to yours as the climate in south MS and Central New York are not comparable. I would definitely own another Mahindra, just not a 10 series.

I run mine wothout the side panels 90 percent of the time and have tried cutting with and without the loader both with the same results. I have not tried lowering the rpm's though, I have just set it where the 540 rpm dot is on the tach. Also, mowing discing and loader work all seem to run the temp up.

That didn't used to be the case.........
I would backwash the radiator till the cows came home , and it still ran hot.....I finally took the sceen out in front of the radiator.
Problem gone.....
I never put the screen back in..........
