PARTS?

[dinoedwards]

Looking at a 2013 3616 700hrs and lots are staying no parts available?
Is this true or just sour grapes?
Nice frame size bigger then Kubota in same class and better lift?

Who’s “lots”?
The 3616 is the same tractor as the current 1626 (old 3016) only with larger tires and more hp. Some were made with Mahindra engines as opposed to Mitsubishi.
It was made by Mitsubishi for Mahindra who now is jointly owned by both companies.
Is there anything currently wrong with this tractor?
If it does need a part, let me know and I’ll check into it .
Also, this tractor looks weather worn. Was it left outside?
That’d be enough for me to look elsewhere.

Mahindra has an on line parts catalog, but I think any parts orders are routed through your nearest Mahindra dealer.

Based on my experience trying to get my Mahindra repaired for a leak into the brakes, I wouldn't buy another Mahindra unless I was in an area with a very good Mahindra dealer nearby.

There are 5 nationwide Mahindra parts depots in the United States. If when you needed parts during the 4 yr COVID thing, it was excruciatingly difficult to get parts then. All work was basically stopped in India because the country was hit so hard.
Yes, parts are sifted down thru dealers and yes, you have to be a diligent dealer to be most effective for customers.
What we did then was to establish parts donor tractors to get customers up and running and these tractors were new and on our lot. We could deal with parts unavailability better than the customer and would replace these parts back on the tractor. When these tractors were eventually sold, we would inform the potential buyer that we replaced the alternator or injector pump etc, etc and if that was a problem. Most said they didn’t have one and most were about 5 ppl.
We still do if there becomes a problem that becomes extended. We also have loaner tractors.
A good dealer realizes that the most important thing is not the inventory on the lot but the ppl who buy the product.
