I wish I had some earth-shattering discovery to let you in on, but the only variable in the equation was the ambient temp.
Well Uncle Buck. I have learned now that owning a mahindra for 11 months now. I will never buy another one. Mahindra USA service sucks. Every bolt on my tracor has came loose on it. I had the axle fall off from day 3 which even the tech at bills said that is not suppose to happen and has happened to me 2 more times making it 3 times which in the state of texas constitutes it as a lemon. The new axle is about 6 weeks old and from day one the seal was leaking and called the tech and told him about it. I have seen many tractors smaller than mine cut grass the same places I do and does not overheat. I thought I had a solution but there is one post in here I read and I think he might be right about the type of radiators they have. Most mahindras overheat. And I do not always cut 15 foot grass. I have done 2 lots like this but the rest were 8-12 inches johnson grass. I am looking to trade off my toy I purchased to buy me a real toy. Mahindra reps are rude and do not want to pay for problems. These korean A__H____`s think they have a tractor that is tuff. When I purchased the Mahindra I went to a few sites to read up on them. But untill you purchase one and type the problem you are having with them. Than you get the negative results. Its funny I made a post 2 months after purchasing my Mahindra about overheating problems. Because they overheat. Simple as that. The buckest are cheap. Batteries are in the wrong place. The steel is not heavy duty. Cheap bolts. Not A Single Grade A Bolt on the wholetractor. Mahndra REPS are Jerks. DO NOT BUY A MAHINDRA. I am looking at a a NEW HOLLAND TT_SERIES. He will not even take mine on trade. He also told me that most complaints he heard is the same overheating problem we are having. I do not see San Antonio Texas City of san antonio parks and recreation department Tractor operators getting off every 30 minutes to clean there grills. And I made a point of following them one day and even talking to them. They never have a problem with over heating. They have New Hollands and John Deere. And for your routine maintenance. Mahindra requires mor than that. They require daily routine maintenance and repair. I am going to go to bills and talk to them. See if they give me something for my tractor. Because no other dealer wants it. I just want out.

You have a 15 series made in Japan by Mitsubishi, none-the-less, you throw an insult at Koreans, CLASSY!
The poster with the overheating problems has a 10 series made by TYM in S. Korea. The two are related only by being marketed stateside by Mahindra USA. A quick search shows you stating that you have "used your tractor hard" and also that you feel you should have bought a larger tractor. Have I missed anything?

You caught me at a good time on that rant. My 7520 has broken once in its 400 hr life. That was fixed under warranty - but not all the other things I had previously told them and the dealer about immediately after delivery and expected fixed at the same time. I even gave copies of my itemization of problems to the Tech Rep before the repair and again during the repair since hesaid he didnt get it. In desperation I finally had to find and fix my suction side hydraulic leak myself because it was slowing the hydraulics so much. I can see no evidence that Mahindra supports my dealer well. And they ignore me saying "go thru the dealer". I have found one good tech rep at MH but they moved him out of the area right after I got my tractor and replaced him with an inferior model. One good representative does not a good company make. Im still, after almost 2 yrs, trying to get MH to follow thru. Ive only another year of warranty. I may have to go legal.jleal said:

jleal,
Odd post you made. If you have a 2615HST it is made in Japan by Mitsubishi. Front axle problems are basically unheard of, and in fact problems at all are rare indeed. I guess if you did buy a tractor that was too small, or if you are running too big a mower, or running too fast while mowing...all these things will cause problems, but they are user induced. You will induce such problems on a NH, JD or Kubota also. You'll not find a lot of support bashing this machine, but I guess it makes you feel better. I'm eager for you to get a 26HP of another brand and use the same mower, run it the same and see how it does. Now perhaps you have a lemon. That is rare in the Japanese tractor world as the quality standards are so tight. We just don't see it.
As far as resale goes, I'd be glad to buy it except it sounds like it was used really hard and overheated often. If that is the case, you may have damaged the engine. I can see why a dealer would not want it.
I've sold literally hundreds of 2615's. Never have I seen the problems you describe. Occasionally someone will overheat a tractor (any brand) because of crud in the radiator, but that simply requires an operator that will watch the gauges and keep the radiator clean.
As to the poor service from the dealer and/or the service rep; there is no excuse for poor service. However by the tone of your posts, I bet there is more to the story.

Thanks SPYDERLK. That is what exactly what happened to me. The reps said go thru the dealer. I am trying to be nice and not take it out on Bills Tractor when the reps are the ones to warrant the axle that keeps coming off. Now for the rest of you. For using the tractor hard. Yes. But I also have used a skid steer loader harder. Have driven my trailblazer thru the weeds that overheated my mahindra trying to knock them down thinking it would not get seeds and grass in the radiator, Now that did not overheat my trailblazer. And I also use my Quikie Aircraft Aluminum wheelchair hard that I sit in everyday and has not broken yet. That is ashame this machine can not even handle a quadraplegic. Lets start with day one. Mahindra did not put a battery tie down on the battery. I have a front end loader. Now any body with brains on this forum knows what happens when you run the tractor into a pile of dirt to scoop it up. You have forward momentum. What do you think the battery did. Went right thru the grill. And knocked a hole in the battery. I purchased the new battery. Not Mahindra. And I also got the tie downs installed from bills. Front grill damaged and they did not replace. Battery tie downs are suppose to come from the manufacturer installed. Not Bills. Baterry tie downs come loose with in 1 week. One tie down goes thru radiator. I take radiator out and solder hole myself and install my own tie downs from walmart. Day 3. Axle bolts all were loose. Right side. Took it back and Mario said thats funny. Because we make sure they are tight because the tractors from freight have that side off. Some one passed it up. Got it fixed and lasted 2 weeks. Took it back and sat in the shop for 3 weeks. Needed tractor and picked up and fixed myself. Lasted 7 months. Now lets see here. See the difference. A quadrplegic fixed it and it lasted 7 months. Took it back with same problem. I asked mario. Is it something i am doing wrong. He said NO NO NO!!!!!. Fixed it and I picked it up. I spread about 10 yards of topsoil and the seal is leaking from the new spindle assemble they installed. I called mario and he said the mechanic was probably in a hurry and put the O ring in wrong or something. Like I said every bolt on that tractor is loose. I do not have any loose bolts on my wheelchair after owning my new one for about 18 months now with no maintenance. My trailblazer that pulls my Lemon mahindra around is runnig great and does not have any loose bolts on it. So what part do you all not understand. The reps tell me I have to take it up with bills. I have never gave any crap to bills because i know it is not there fault the tractor is a lemon. So I look for answers on these post and take my frustration out here. First amendment rights is freedom of speach and anything you say that is true and posted you can not be sued. So for the last time. MAHINDRA SUCKS. I used it today for 45 minutes and it is hot. I am going to take the radiator out and look it over really good. I buy something new so I do not have to tinker with it all the time. And by the way skid steer loaders are only about 24 horsepower. I am inserting bills tractors number. I would like for all of you to personally call and ask for mario. Ask them if Jimmie the person in the wheelchair has ever came in there and talk like a jerk or be rude to any one in there. Ask for mario. The only rudeness I have had is from the idiots from Mahindra reps. As for the korean goes. I thought the engines were made in korea and the tractor was built in india.

" Every bolt on my tracor has came loose on it. I had the axle fall off "jleal said:
You forgot to tell everybody that you took apart the axle to replace the seal, do you think maybe thats why your axle keeps falling apart
Maybe the next time you will tighten the bolts
"I just recently picked up a lot of wire in the axle and tore the seal up. Here is a link to how to remove a axle on the mahindra.jleal said:
"Untitled" Thanks for including this link for everybody to see why after AMATEURS work on things they generally FALL APART and yes , it does void the warrantyI cut lots that have bikes,car doors,fences, dead bodies in it and all kind of stuff.
Have you run over any dead bodies lately
I cut grass sometimes running constantly in 6 inches of water.
Have you ever gone fishing with your tractor
.jleal said:
I will modify your tractor for 800.00 to not get hot anymore.
Have you any suckers that paid 800.00 for your solution
And for your routine maintenance.
Are you talking about my routine maintenance for my Korean made 4110,
NOT YOUR Japanese made 2615 ?
So to sum it all up
Never send a ...boy ....to do a ........mans job
......................2615 ....................4110's
......................you........................ me
jleal ,its obvious you never let the facts get in the way
