I learned quite a bit about the tires from these recent postings, will probably opt for the newer tire size when I have to replace them, probably have another couple years in them though. As I have stated previously, I have the rear tires loaded 3/4 full with water/methanol but I usually only have my lightweight boxblade on the back when doing heavy loader work. I might try to get some weight added to it to give me a little more ballast plus the heavier a boxblade, the better it works anyway. When that 6' bucket is loaded good the front has all she wants. I got prices for my replacement front tires from our local farmer's Co-op, same size & tread design but in 12 ply and they were right around $130 plus taxes. I think I'll stay with the current size for the fronts and hope the newer rears will take some of the bias out of the ratios. Right now I'm glad to have my front drive back - had a tremendously steep 2 ac. cutting to do today, hadn't been cut in maybe 5 years and was rough. The old 4110 wouldn't take much more of an angle to climb and I was in 2nd gear, but it pulled solid for almost 5 hours like that. Of course with my heavy cutter back there and an empty bucket the front axles aren't under much stress and I guess if the wheels are actually sliding some, they do well on grass.

I don't how Dougster found out, but I figured it out myself by the hoses for my remote - they have the year of manufacture on them, 2001. I took delivery of my tractor in Feb. 2002. It had obviously been sitting on the dealer's lot for awhile as the red paint on the top surfaces was already fading some and it had 3.2 hrs. on it. Put all this together and it's very likely it was made early-on in 2001.

I did a little research when I bought my used 4110 as there was some confusion on the part of the seller and many others. It turns out that on the TYM-made Model 4110, it goes by the letter in the serial number as follows:coffeeman said:
U=2001
V=2002
W=2003
X=2004
Y=2005
Z=2006
This letter system appears to indicate actual production year as opposed to being a model year designation. I have no idea what letter they are using for 2007s as I have not seen one yet. This letter-based system may apply to other 10-series machines... I just never bothered to check.

p.s., I should have also added that the 411 (or 4110) apparently indicates a Mahindra Model 4110 and that the first two numbers following the letter apparently indicate the month of production... 01=January, 02=February, etc. The last four digits appear to be the sequential production numbers. -d

On Titan's web site I think the back tires list for $576 each-that's one of the reasons I bought the tires & wheels-I think I got a pretty good price. I'm sure buying as a package brings the price down a bit.
Dougster said:I never run 4x4 on hard (i.e., paved or concrete) surfaces... but in your example, wouldn't the massive rear tires simply restrain the front tires and cause them to slip? I suppose it would depend on your FEL load at the time vs. what counterweight you had on the back end.In my case, the 509 BH virtually assures that any tire slip will occur up front.

I do mostly light duty work; big brush hog and finish mower. If I keep it out of 4WD then the mismatched 4WD problem doesn't exist, does it? Finish mower on level and some nice hills for hog. I wonder, is there any advantage using 4WD on hills even though I seem to get around good without it. I'm thinking more on safety issues.

Based on the apparent cause of the problem (i.e., excessive front-to-rear differential mismatch) and the mode of front axle failure (i.e., torsional breaks), as described by Skipmarcy, you should be entirely fine while in 2WD.coffeeman said:
Is your 4110 early production as well? Skipmarcy's March 2001 4110 is the 43rd 4110 ever made... very early production. My October 2004 4110... 3-1/2 years "newer"... is in the mid-600's.
As of the end of 2006, it appears there are over 1,500 4110's running around the good ol' USA!

Dougster,
Where did you find the information on the serial numbers? My 4110 s/n is 411-T10-0408. Does this mean it's a 2000 model made in Oct and the 408th?
I have 250+ hrs and no front axle problems so far. I bought mine used in 2002 and requested the dealer change to Ag tires. So maybe the tire size and type contribute to the problem. Just a thought.

Hi David - Now you've really got me there. Obviously, a "T" and a "10" would mean it was built in October 2000... but a sequence number of 408 would place you squarely in the "W" series indicating 2003. In fact, here is Model 4110 No. 409 built in April 2003:resaca said:Dougster, Where did you find the information on the serial numbers? My 4110 s/n is 411-T10-0408.

Since you bought your 4110 used in 2002, obviously it could not have been built in April of 2003. I would have to say that the sequence number is suspect and that, indeed, you have an October 2000-built tractor. If 0408 is correct read right off the nameplate, this would tend to indicate a different sequence numbering scheme was used for the very earliest 4110's built. Based on the extremely early date of manufacture, I would not be at all surprised if yours is sequence number 8.
