Problem with Getting Mahindra Parts

Bobvt · Apr 29, 2021

Over the last four months I have had to purchase several parts for my two Mahindra tractors (6500 4WD & mPower 85). Shortest time I had to wait was a little over three weeks. Three of the parts, I had to wait over two months. I have had it with Mahindra. I will not be buying another!

In case you hadn't noticed, it's kind of hard to get a lot of things right now from overseas. I'm not sure I'd be blaming any given company for supply chain issues.

I have ordered items from China and India with deliveries between 4 and 5 weeks. Why doesn't Mahindra's Houston facility stock parts. Three to five weeks to get a filter! I can get LS parts much quicker.

The JIT mantra has come home to bite the consumer.

Lots of parts are not available due to world outbreak of corona. Not just Mahindra, but all dealers are experiencing backorder issues.

I have been waiting about 2 months for an O ring for mine. Glad I am not a full time farmer either needing to harvest or plant.

Typically at my work place the JIT program turns into JRO...just ran out.

Every brand and manufacturer is having supply issues right now. Where I live I've noticed every dealership new car lot is very empty looking.

Especially India. India is getting absolutely killed by the covid. A good portion of the country is shut down.

Some of it is their own fault. Covid springs up where the people live -- 'Poorly' is the most PC word I can think of.

And some places aren't all that well-known for good hygiene practices. Even in the US. It hits where it can breed and reproduce best.

Take out the big cities and covid is a minor nuisance.
