Mahindras?

[paintedhorse]

What's the general consensus on Mahindras? I have an old 29 year old 35 horse power tractor that's giving me headaches, so I might be looking for a newer one soon. I normally only run it during the Summer months for mowing about ten acres, and rarely for discing a small garden. The Mahindra 4525 or 5525 seem to be about the right size. I have no experience with this make, but we do have a dealer in my area so I should be able to get service if needed. Thanks.

I'm retiring my 60 year old Ferguson in favor of a Mahindra. I've been studying all brands for about 2 months and buck for buck I feel Mahindra beats them all.

They didn't get to be the largest selling tractor company in the world and number 3 in the USA by being junk.

Check them out, I think you'll be surprized by what you see.

I know of one poster here that has a 5525 Mahindra and it's a very nice tractor. Hopefully he will see this and reply. I don't have a Mahindra dealer anywhere near me that I'm aware of or else I'd check them out. It's Deere, Kubota, Case NH around me.

There is a Mahindra specific section of the Forums. I have about 70 hours on my Max25 and haven't had a problem yet.

I looked at every color of tractor out there and chose Mahindra. No regrets.

+1 <<< nothing at all more to say but there is a STUPID 5 character minimum...

Paintedhorse,
Is the dealer well respected? A Mahindra is worth it's weight in gold if you have good dealer support. I would buy Mahindra again. I have over 800 hours on mine.

I bought my 2008 Mahindra 5525 new. Has the ML250 FEL (6-ft wide bucket, 2950 lb lift to 10.5 ft height). Dealer installed triple rear hydraulic remotes (his design, $700) and a skid steer quick attach. Total cost: ~$19K.

No problems. Just do the normal scheduled maintenance. Some people don't like simple gear trannies like the 5525 has, but I'm not one of them. The 5525 is a nice, simple, heavy, powerful beast.

I had a hydrostatic tractor before (a little Kubota B7510HST) and I don't miss it at all.

Good luck

My Friend has a big 65 hp Mahindra , He has had 2 injection pumps go out. The fix was adding a lift pump and make up some nice hydraulic line fuel lines for it and after that it has been great. Dealers are not all over the place in NY, the closest dealer is over 2 hrs away. The service manual is not very good. I know some mobile ag tractor mechanics that will not work on then because of these issues.. But Tractor has Lots of power.. the big 3 cyl does vibrate some more then a 4cyl in other brands I've used.. and the air filter clips like to break. I have more experience with smaller john deeres in the 40 hp range. The fit and finish is not as nice as a Deere but all say its is a lot of tractor for the $.
Thanks,
Deo

My closest tractor dealer is Mahindra and I looked very hard at em a few years ago. But Kubota has been very good to me since 1984. So I bought orange again. No regrets at all!

I had a 2005 Mahindra 3510 4wd with FEL and absolutely loved it. Used it hard and never had any mechanical issues at all. Sold it b/c of financial troubles, but I'd buy another in a heartbeat if there was a good dealer around.

Our local new holland, Chevy dealership sells Mahindra. They like them a lot and support them well. I'm looking to buy a larger tractor for haying next year, and it's probly gonna be one, especially since they sell new holland hay equipment. LUTT

After 2 Kubotas I went with Mahindra this time. Hard decision but specs and money were the deciding factor

After cross shopping Deere, CNH, Kubota, LS and Mahindra I'm picking up a 4035PST here in the near future. Great bang for the buck and it helps to have a solid dealer less than 10 minutes from my house

I have a 2006 2615 bought new and just bought my second Mahindra, 5010 4WD Cab HST. Love them both. Very powerful tractors, lots of heavy steel, good traction and the price is hard to beat.

 

[Schneeky]

Just bought a 2014 3016HST with FEL and BH. Specs and money were deciding factors. Having a great dealer in the general vicinity helped a great deal. Had Orange tractors before and they were great. But going new this time they couldn't compete between financing, overall cost and dealer support.
This and $5 will get you coffee at a Starbucks. d:^) Schneeks.

My new 3016hst just came home yesterday.

I picked up a Mahindra 6110 a couple of weeks ago. I became sold on Mahindra after using a friend's 5110. I have owned a Kubota and Deere in the past, but the price and dealer support, as well as bang for the buck can't be beat. At least in MY mind. I like it and it is a real workhorse. And I spoiled myself with a cab and AC, gettin soft in my old age I guess.
