Well Folks to continue the loonnggg story of the 511 and 6000, Mahindra finally identified the issue as the swinging drawbar had been updated shortly after my '02 tractor had been shipped (this was about the time that Bradco was designing the setup). Mahindra utlimately shipped the new drawbar to my dealer's shop. We put it on yesterday and lo and behold the thing works!!!! Had it hooked up in about 10 minutes. Now to put on the 24" bucket....20 minutes later....Ok done. Now to try the controls. Boom, OK, swing to the right....OK, swing to the left.....WAIT A MINUTE...it WON"T SWING TO THE LEFT!!!! Sort of like the piston is bound up. Called Bradco and they are checking on it. Dealer called Mahindra and told them to get a service rep up here....They said they were booked up and would take at least 2 weeks to get here. Jeezzz,,, where else is this saga going??/ Anyone else had a issue like the piston??? Help please, I want to dig, dig, dig....BobG in VA
