To give you some thought on changing fuel filters, go price an injector pump R&R or even a rebuild.

Jeremy,

I have not had the pleasure to meet Brenda yet. Maybe she will be at Tulare in February?? Hint hint... Tim and our Pres. and I have a had a long running joke for a while. We sent him a special package with a truckload one day. I won't get into the details in the open, but it was hilarious the phone call we got...

I was invited out to MahindraUSA in Tomball today by Brenda Bradshaw. If you don't know Brenda, she goes by the user name Jsupport here and is MahindraUSA's online Customer Relations contact person. I think we hit it off from the start, as she is a friendly "people" person. She is a sweety. I also met her "go to" person for Product Support, Tim Zemencsik. He told me a lot, but asked me to not mention his name. Oops! He has numerous years tractor experience. I was convinced of that when he knew what my old Ford 3055 was. He is the second person I have met that knew what that tractor was. I got to pick his brain in his office/shop. I will ramble here. Mahindra's Tomball facility is on two acres. They moved Parts and the final assembly and distribution warehouse to north Houston near IAH (Bush) airport on 9 acres. They were going to move the Headquarters down there also, but it would seem the 9 acres is already crowded.

The new 82 horsepower cab model will he unveiled in March. But I think it will come out in February at the World Ag. Expo in California. It isn't a replacement for the 7110. The 7110 is a CUT and this bad boy will be a full blown utility tractor. The cab is best described as reminding you of a JD cab. I have no clue what that means as I haven't been in a cabbed JD in 9 years.

We talked alot about Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel. He gave me a 16 oz. bottle of Stanadyne Performance Formula Diesel Fuel Additive. I don't know how much it cost, but a 16 oz. bottle will treat 60 gallons of diesel. He told me to use it all my diesels. That includes my Mahindra 6520, my Dodge/Cummins pickup and my diesel generator. M&D Distributors in Houston, Texas markets it. M&D also rebuilds some of their fuel injector pumps. M&D has an excellant reputation as I have heard of them in Turbo Diesel Register for Dodge pickups. I was told biodiesel is a no-no. There are two cases pending of ruined tractor engines from using biodiesel.

I asked about a tractor in his shop. It had way bigger front tires than my 6520. He said it was a 6530, but now I am thinking he said 6030. It had the engine side cowls off, so I didn't see what it said on the sides. He said it was a new model. Anyway, it has the new emission equipped Tier 3 turbo charged engine in it that requires ULSD. It has way more plumbing around the engine than my 6520. Old timers are not going to like it as all the tractor manufacturers have to go with more emissions. So I guess in the future we will be hooking our tractors up to dianogistic computers.

I met the president, but didn't get to talk much with him, as I was on the way out. We did talk a little on that American tractors are not completely made in the U.S. anymore.

They did have rows and stacks of tires there. I was told I can get higher rated tires for my 6520 front end, but will have to hunt for them.
hugs, Brandi

Brandi,
First off I'll tell you, I'm jealous. It would be pretty cool to pick the brain of the powers that be at Mahindra.
I can't wait to see what that new cab tractor is going to be like! I'm a bit confused though. I heard the 7010 was leaving the Mahindra lineup. Actually I hear that TYM will be discontinuing the T700 so what is left in the pipeline at that point will be it. Perhaps someone at Mahindra can clarify this.

Did you actually see this new cab tractor? I'm ready to purchase my next tractor. I believe the 7010 will do all I need, but it would be nice to have some extra horsepower. Do you know if that's an 82 engine hp or pto hp? How bout a turbo?

jwcinpk,
The new 82 hp cab model is not a compact utility tractor (CUT). The 7010 is considered a CUT. So there isn't really any replacing going on. I didn't ask what will be happening with the 10 series Mahindras.
I think Mahindra is using the model to go after more of the Ag market and compete against Kioti's new 90 hp model. I didn't see the tractor or a photo. But I talked with someone that had seen it.
I understand how you feel. But I think there will be a big dollar difference between the 7010 and the new 82hp model. I believe it is best to always buy more HP then you think you need. It is like building a barn. Before you finish it, you wish you would have built it bigger.
hugs, Brandi

I don't see how anyone could classify the 7010 as a compact. It weighs as much as the 6000 and it's an ag tractor. I think the 7010 is very capable. I sure hope there isn't going to be a huge dollar difference between it and the new one. For $8000 more I could have a new Deere with 99hp or the Kioti with 90hp. I geuss we'll all see in time.
By the way I'm building 420 ft long chickenhouses, so I can't even think about bigger barns just yet!

JWCINPK,
What does a 7010 go for anyway? Large compact, small ag? It all depends on who is talking. I don't even like to use those terms. Just passing on what I heard.

Hey Guys,
My "GO TO" person, I can't mention his name, tells me, the ULSD is NOT dirty and has nothing to do with the coatings in the tank. What it has to do with is; any diesel fuel will deterioate any filter if it is left in there long enough and not properly attended to. For example: if you were to take a gallon of water in a bucket and fill it with cardboard what's gonna happen to the cardboard? Over a period of time the cardboard will turn to mush. Diesel fuel will do the same thing to filters if left in there over a long period of time.

Is it only the fuel lying stagnant in the filter that is the problem? That seems the only difference. Fuel is always there in either case.
Thanks, larry

My best quote to date has been $35,500 for tractor, loader, bale spear, and pallet forks. That's from a dealer about 100 miles from me. My local dealer (30 miles) is $500 higher.
I know the 7010 will have no trouble with all my implements, especially my vermeer roller. I know that because the 6000 is doing fine with them. I just hate to take the plunge and then 6 months from now say I should've waited. That's kind of what happened to me with the debut of the 20 series. I geuss there is always something newer and sometimes nicer in the works. Another way to look at it is sometimes you get too big.
Too bad I don't have deep pockets, I'd trade the 6000 for a 20 series and get the new cab tractor. Then throw in a compact with a backhoe for good measure. Somebody pinch me I'm dreaming.
