im not sure where it is leaking from, and the dealer has been great so far. but we are waiting on mahindra. and mahindra is located in tomball texas which is about 25 miles from houston. and rita could delay my answer for days. do you have any direct numbers i could try. thanks in advance

I have had the same problems with the 2810 model also.
We found the seat switch was out of adjustment.
There are 3 safty switches that it has to go thru befor it will start.
I know that mahindra has had a bad batch of the computer for the 2310-2810-3510. After replacing 2 on a machine we got a good one.
If you tip your seat up and let it bounce when you put it back down it bends the strap metal that the safty switch is mounted to resulting in the switch going out of adjustment.
Just trying to help

its not that its always broken. its just always broken when i need it.
i wanted to plow the driveway when i brought it home, but the lights didnt work had to wait till morning - no big deal. dealer fixed the problem right away.
started cutting firewood a few weeks later, i was pulling the logs back to the house, however something came loose and the tractor was stuck in the woods, it wouldnt move. my dealer came picked it up fixed that in a few days.
i mowed a large area for my deer food plot, had it sprayed. then came time to plant, the tractor was leaking fluid and it was in the shop for two to three weeks again.
a month ago i was doing the rough grading on my yard i turned the tractor off and it would not turn back on. dealer picked it up in a week fixed it and brought it back a couple of weeks later. however i had to turn it off with the manual lever. there were still waiting for some module to come in. but they came out to replace that so i wasnt out.
now here i am again yard unfinished, piles of gravel in the driveway which were delivered and not spread out, retaining blocks for my landscaping siting there next to the black dirt to be spread. but nothing to do the work with. because it wont start again. dealer was supposed to pick it up on monday but got busy so its still in my garage.

I talked to my Mahindra rep yesterday and he thought they would close down the Tomball facility today and tomorrow out of caution regarding Rita.

you are right anybody reading this should know that wallace is not my dealer, nor have i ever met him before. but he is trying to fix my problem. if you are in the market for a new tractor give this man a call. unbelievable
