New 8560 CAB

   / New 8560 CAB #11  
Around 17 to 1800

Same as what I normally run my 7520 at. But that is a little low in the rpm range with much of a load on it. As the load gets to be greater, I have found that I need to start bumping the rpm up. It would also make a difference with how hard your ground was. I have my 7520 ballasted to about 12,000lbs and my Gannon will stop the tractor if the ground is right.

Right on, and it did load up on occasion. The 8560 with loader, and Cab weighs in at over 11k without ballast of which I have none. I have already torn up one "Triangle Hitch" similar to a delta with the box blade full thanks to a hidden stump. She's heck for stout, but was a little fickle the other day.

How about 10,212lbs per spec sheet. Did you weigh it? Just wondering how you arrived at over 11k is all.

Pictures of her working would be great to see. :cool:

I stand corrected....Apparently I poked a couple extra buttons with the calc when I originally added the weights. As equipped I have it with Hydro top link, Traingle Hitch, and Bucket which I may have mistakenly understood wasn't in the shipping weight at around 10777. Either way it is quite heavy when compared to some of the other machines as is.

I believe that it is one of the heaviest tractors of it's size and is one of the reasons that it works so very well. :thumbsup: Now you need to get a hydraulic side link and your grading will be all that much better. ;)

I also have an 8560 that overheats. there is a VERY fine air filter in front of the rad, like the one in your house window AC unit. we took that out and it helped some but not enough. we blow it out every morning. dealer knows nothing about it. does anyone have a fix for this?

Yes.......The fix I found for it after cracking two front wheels, constant overheating, several antifreeze leaks, and such was to replace it with a 2014 Case IH 95c. Problem solved. I loved the tractor, the loader was second to none when comparing other machines, warranty was great, and tractor weight was serious, but I had to have something I didn't have to constantly wrench on. Problems I had were overheating (partially due to some diode that made the machine think it was hot) Fix was replace the dash which included the updated diode er whatever they called it, and a bunch of seals installed around the hood, and body work that directed the air flow across the radiator better. I still had issues with it. I couldn't keep the air filters clean. That thing was like a vacuum, and the A/C air filters on the cab needed to be blown out two to three times daily. As an open station model I don't think any brand could touch it, but as a cab model with all that is required to run that beast at full tilt, and have it reliable they have some work to do. I don't mind working on my stuff, just not every time I get ready to use it, and walk out in the garage and notice anti-freeze on the ground from yet another loose hose or bad clamp, or that nasty sticky throttle cable (due to the injector pump return spring not being properly adjusted), and last but not least the smallish fuel tank. No 10 or 12 hour days at PTO speed for that rig. I felt like I was constantly filling it up.

Call John with Mahindra Warranty. At least that was the guy the last time I went through warranty work. He was working DFW, up into Kansas, and such and explain your issue to him. He was the one that supervised most of the fixes they implemented on my machine, and was aware of the issue at the time on another tractor in Kansas on which they tested the repairs. Successfully on that machine? I don't really know. 1-832-544-6836. Hopefully this helps!

At 50 hrs you or the dealer will have to reset the computer on your 8560 after engine oil change, find fuse panel on left side of steering wheel, there is a blank hole, pull fuse and place it in blank hole with engine off, now turn key on for a minute, turn key off and replace fuse to original position and start engine... Between EGR canister and valve cover is a line that was dry rotted from factory that also cause the emission light to periodically flash, replace it.... High volume compressed air on a long reach blow tube to back blow out radiator should take care of heating issues... On our 6500 we had to build a battery box on top of front weight to allow more air flow through radiator to correct overheating issues with it... Mahindra dealer all the way to Tumball Tx were of no help on resolving issues that they will deny are existing
