Spring is almost here! Time for bush hogging!!

My tractor has 1094 hrs. on it now (97' Mahindra 485 D.I.). I changed all the fluids and filters almost a year ago, at 920 hrs. which was when I first got it. So it has 174 hrs. on the "new" fluids and filters. When is it time to do it again??? It set up through the winter, except when I started it to charge the battery.

I just want to say that Mahindra Tractors are VERY tough and dependable. I have not had a minutes trouble or complaints out of mine. I WOULD PUT IT UP AGAINST ANY OTHER BRAND OF TRACTOR IN THE SAME CLASS OR HORSEPOWER WITH FULL CONFIDENCE.

Thanks,
Travis

Change oil every 150 hrs. hydralic fluid every 300 hrs. Factory recommendations. Filters at same time.

I'm with the last post, factory reccomendations. Also, do you have a FEL on it? I try to grease mine every 10 hours or so (also the front end linkages). A FEL puts a lot of strain on the front end and even if you are not using it, they tend to wiggle around a lot. A little grease can help make sure you get all the lifting power out of it also.

No, I do ot have a FEL on my tractor.

P.S.... I'm not trying to start anything, but my uncle thought about getting rid of his 97' Massey Ferguson 231 tractor and go buy a Mahindra! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
