New Mahindra 4025 owner

[RJBaldwin]

I just purchased a 2012 Mahindra 4025 2WD at the KS state fair. Sadly the tractor is out of town and I have to wait for the fair to end for it to be delivered. Hoping for early next week. You guys understand a man and his new toy. I have had 2 old tractors. An old AC and a Ford 3000. Finally talked to the wife into letting me get a real tractor for moving our hay bales and some dirt work around the place. I have enjoyed reading the posts and it looks like there are a lot of helpful folks here. Looking forward to getting the new tractor and will post review after I have a few hours on her.

Thought I would update this now that I have the tractor in hand and have put a couple hours on it. First the bad news. Tractor was delivered on Weds, but wasn't able to get out to use until Sunday. Went to start it and click click click. The battery was low. After jump starting it I got it to the barn and put a charger on it. The charging needle pegged like the batter was all but dead. After putting a trickle charge on it for about 4 hours the battery was back to half charged and the tractor started. I then went to fuel it up since the gauge said it was empty and never thought it would be delivered with much fuel. Well turns out my dealer puts about 3/4 of a tank in when they deliver their tractors so the customer can jump right on and start using it. This was great except as I started putting fuel in it of coarse it over flowed in no time because it had fuel. So turns out my fuel gauge doesn't work. Now for the good news, I used it to move a large pile of dirt that I had dug out of the pond last year when it went dry. Keeping in mind I am used to a Bobcat, so the front loader was a little slower then I'm used to but it worked great. Only took me about 1.5 hours to moved the dirt to another location. I LOVE the foot controlled accelerator. My old tractor was the traditional hand control. The was a huge plus that I wasn't aware of when I purchased it. It ran great, had plenty of power, and was comfortable to ride. I wish the bucket had teeth, but not a big deal. I was surprised to learn there are no hydro hook ups on the rear. I would have thought a 40+ HP tractor would have had this. I will update further after I spend more time on it. Oh, BTW dealer is working getting out to fix the fuel gauge and if the battery is bad then to replace it.
