So why did you buy a Mahindra?

[SPYDERLK]

When I shopped for a full capability tractor in late 2005 I was looking for a heavy 60-70 HP open station tractor with strong loader and backhoe, skid steer QA, 2 or more speed PTO, high delivery hydraulics, remotes, etc. I found at the time that regardless of price it was going to be difficult to find all things together - the difficult ones being hyd delivery, weight, and multisp PTO. And with price coming into consideration the issue of a "special" was out. The 7520 4wd fit the wish list perfectly as a package deal, letting me get it all with canopy, grill guard, and toothbar for $37K. To date I still havnt seen another 7100 pound tractor with 17gpm delivery in this HP range. I am carrying about a ton of water ballast in the 90% loaded AGs and have used the tractor hard, enuf times to know that it is strong, and wont require me to make excuses for it breaking itself. At 800+ Hrs it is going strong. The only issue is it has a broken reverse synchronizer on the shuttle shift. I just determined this lately stirring the manure pile. In retrospect the reverse shift grind was there from the beginning but I nearly always stopped completely before shuttleing so barely noticed. Oh well .. even if still in warranty I wouldnt want to have the tractor split solely to correct this in an otherwise perfect transmission.

There was not and still is not to the best of my knowledge any tractor in the 75HP class that specs out as well as the Mahindra 7520. That is why I bought my first Mahindra. Bought my 2ND smaller 3215 Mahindra because I like my Mahindra dealer and I needed a smaller tractor for clean up duty. :thumbsup:

If the paint keeps dieing on the 3215, it may be blue sometime in the future too. :thumbsup:

Brian,
I am baffled why your paint is fading so fast. The Big RED Beast is still RED RED under the layer of dirt on her.:thumbsup:

Mine sure isnt. Fading fast - someday it will be green. Do you park yours under cover?

Well, the tractor itself is ok I guess, but the loader is turning not red and my Mahindra tractors are locked up inside at least 80% of the time. Don't know the answer as to how yours is still red and what seems to be an awful lot of others have turned or are turning PINK. And I only thought that I didn't like red, but I really don't like pink. :confused2:

It's the dirt. My wife has a sign hanging in the living room it says " Please don't touch the dust, it is protecting the furniture" I believe the sam applies here.

Yep, under cover unless it is wanting for a free bath, like right now.
