<font color="blue">It is hard for me to believe in 2003 an new tractor can not be designed so it suck in weed seed and overheat. I know it use to be a problem in older tractors. BUt in 2003 we have no better engineering talent.
All I am saying a 2002 tractor should not be designed that this happens.
....and are unwilling to help with a solution in my eye Mahindra service and tech are useless. In the equipment business as any business service is everything. If Mahindra can't offer service their tractors are useless. </font>
I'm truly sorry you are having problems with your tractor, but it seems you are being a little harsh with the techs and Mahindra as a company on the whole. I'm not saying this because I own a Mahindra, I'm saying because as others have pointed out, lots of other brands of tractors have the same problem. (I did a search on posts on TBN and found overheating complaints while mowing with John Deere, Kubota, PowerTrack, etc....)
Should ALL tractor manufacturers come up with a better system to prevent this problem? Sure! But to go around and badmouth a company essentially saying they are worthless because they are reacting the same way as any other manufacturer would is over the edge in my book. Essentially you are implying that Kubota, Deere, or any number of other companies WOULD address you better - which it is obvious they wouldn't since other people are complaining about the exact same overheating issue associated with those brands. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
Again, I am truly sorry that you are having problems, and I understand your frustration. If it really bothers you that much, sell your Mahindra, buy a comparable Deere (or Kubota, or etc.) and use it instead. Unfortunately I don't think this will solve a either problem (i.e. the overheating or the "unresponsive" techs/company) as I suspect you'll have the same issue with the other brand(s) you purchase, but at least you can badmouth all the other tractor manufacturers out there as well, which might make you feel better, even if it doesn't accomplish anything. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
