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

Bob,

I noticed when I reduced the swing speed that sometimes it did not have enough power to swing back. I thought something had broken, but when I turned the swing speed knob to faster it worked fine. Try this out and let me know.

Please let me know if the swing speed adjustment corrects the problem. If not, I will see what I can do to expedite resolution to your problem.

musamarketing,
If you don't mind me asking, who are you? Are you with Mahindra USA?? I notice you have only a few posts, so I'm just curious, and want to tell you that there's a guy on here with a 4110 with broken bolts issue that could really use some help.
See 4110 broken bolts (skipmarcy).

It worked!!! Opened up the valve and full swing both ways. I called my dealer and gave him the good news. He told me he would let Mahindra know that if it works for a while now we might even pay for it.......LOL. BobG in VA now diggin' holes.

That is great news Bob! I trenched about 40ft with mine yesterday to finish of a 150' trench for power to my livestock building. I love backhoes! I am glad this worked for you!!

Glad you got your backhoe going.I'm supposed to take delivery of a new mahindra 4530 tomorow and i was thinking about getting the 511 backhoe but i have no idea what i should expect to pay for one and since youve had so much trouble would you suggest going with another brand?
Have fun digging!!!
