Just saw your post. Here's my take...My front tires (4WD) on the 6000 are 11.2x24 which are pretty much the rear size for most "compacts'. I think once you get to about 5000 lbs (without additional weights) you're talking straight Utility/Ag tractors. The 6000 weighs in at 6200 or a little more, plus about 1500 lbs for the FEL and then about 1300 (or more) for the filled rears. If I'm correct in my addition, that's right at 9000 lbs. How can that be "compact" as I can't move it from one farm to another without a low-boy, or a looonnnnggg rollback. Oh, now add the 511 Bradco BH and you're right at 11K lbs. Just my take...BobG in VA

I don't guess I have actually seen a Mahindra in person. But I went through an read all the posts in this thread, and the thing that stood out, was that all but maybe 4 posters had less than 1000 posts. I guess all you Mahindra guys are A(newcomers due to Mahindra being a newcomer, or B(out playing/working your tractors rather that sitting in front of a computer
Lot's of good reading here.

Mahindra is far from being a newcomer, they have been around from way longer than you think.
They are the 3rd largest tractor manufacture in the world.
They are now just starting to be come a well established name.

I don't usually read these long threads. But some of you folks really outdid yourselves. Very entertaining, kind of like watching kids on a playground at times.

I think B sounds about right
I am new to the tractor world. I am not a farmer or anything. I am handicap in a wheelchair and purchased a 2615 HST with fel and 5` bush hog. Why I purchased it I do not know. I guess to have fun with it. Well I started to use it to cut vacant lots and to dig out driveways for the cement guys. Now I have been told I can break a steal marble when I was growing up. I have torn this machine up. I run it through ****!! My bush hog I have put the torch to it already to cut the dented sides out. 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. I put this site to together. Yes I have problems with my machine everytime I take it out. I have had every bolt on it come loose. But like I said I use this machine hard. Very Very Hard. It does the job.

My problem I should of purchased a little bit bigger machine. But I use a trailblazer on a 16 foot utility trailer to haul it. So I kept this in consideration.
I know people that own a Kubota and a mahindra. They both have ups and downs. Mahindra makes a good tractor. I cut lots that have bikes,car doors,fences, dead bodies in it and all kind of stuff. I cut grass sometimes running constantly in 6 inches of water. When cutting tall grass I get the cotton flying in the iir or fine dust clogging my radiator. So I am constantly blowing it out. I have a fan kit I will be installing in a few days. Will post photos.

You are certainly doing some things the equipment wasn't ment to do. You might want to clean the junk out of the lots before you try to mow them or you could get a goat or two. Good Luck
Like I said I purchased this machine just because I was bored and like tractors. Did lot of research on the net about machines. I now got so much lawn business to do it is not fun any more. I now able to pick the clean lots to the dirty lots. Mahindra is a very good tractor. I do lot of Code Complaints for the city. I live in san antonio texas and every contractor that does grass cutting now has a mahindra. Larger then the one I got but I keep up with every one. I love my machine and I love working on it. This winter I will give it a complete make over. I change the oil every 50 hours. I do very well maintenace on it. It deserves it for what it goes thru with me. I guess I am going to go out and buy a bigger mahindra to cut the 15 plus acres lots I do. 2615 handles it but little hard. I mean grass that is 15 feet and higher and this is no lie. These lots can not be walked because you do not know what kind of creature is in there waiting for you. I have learned a lot since I first purchased it and do not tear it up as much being new to driving farm tractors. So my new bush hog should last a life time. Mahindra is tough!!!!!!!!!!

Lets see now, how Do Mahindra's stack up against the competition.
For starters the price is hard to beat, granted the 15 series are closely priced to other brands, when you step on up to utility sized mahindra has everybody beat.
The 7520 sells for about $9000 less than Kubotas tractor of equal HP.
The 7010 cab sells for around $37000, a JD equal to this tractor costs around $61,000.
Mahindra stands behind a 3 Year warranty, JD. and Kubota only feel comfortable enough with there tractors to give you a 2 year. Hmm
Pound for dollar you get more tractor with Mahindra than the others. Manhindra weighs on the average of 1000lbs. more than its other colored equals. Thats means solid built traction getting power.
Looks at Mahindra tractors and the competition you can plainly see the difference in construction and design.
Mahindra has the right type and size tires to do the job.
The other brands all want to sell you a 4WD tractor, because thier lighter built tractors can't get around without it. Mahindra folks like to say and its true "50 years ago your grand dad didn't have 4Wd and you don't have to have it now if you buy a heavy tractor that will get hooked up".
Now 4WD is nice and definately has its place and price.
Thats why Mahindra offers both 2 and 4WD, they want you to buy the tractor that is best suited to your needs. Mahindra does not want to oversell you a tractor. No one is offering a 2WD tractor that weighs as much and costs so little as Mahindra's! The price can't be beat.
Mahindra offers a tractor to suit just about everybody out there, with a 3 year WARRANTY
Just FYI the Mahindra Tractors with Mahindra engines are the -00-20-25-30 series and the 7010 cab. The 7010 is TYM built with Mahindra under the hood.
