Re: a recent wheel seal leak i had in another thread. I bought the tractor 1 1/2 yrs ago from some mickey mouse part-time mahindra dealer in KY. nightmare place. Highland Rim Tractor is much farther and with having to have it trailered there and back - sounds like a hobbit story - eh? ---- well i called the for the 50 hr. service and the leak. They found bad terminals to battery and replaced under warranty which they didn't have to. corroded. They said it takes about 3 weeks or so due to all of the service they have at this time of the year and i said fine - just get it there and get me in line and great. they picked it up late on Friday 6/3/16 and saturday the next day was fully serviced and parts ordered for the wheel seal leak. today - the 14 they called and are delivering it to me. They added a magnetic block heater to it too while they had it in the shape for the really cold days it would not start and i had to plow. not like up north but the times i do and did need it now that should hopefully help. I have to say I am most impressed and wanted to add a little comment on the forums - Mods/admins move if needed.

In addition the day before i caught the wheel seal leak my garden tractor axle broke, my tiller engine blew and i have carb issues on my chipper.... so they went beyond the call of duty.

The local co-op who i have known for over 20 yrs. still hasn't even looked at my garden tractor issue.
Had to cut 1 acre with a push mower in close to 100 degree weather.

So the people at Highland Rim Tractor are great people and a great dealership! gave the head service guy a $20 tip just as a litle thank you!

i believe they are located in Goodletsville, tn --- North of nashville.

sorry for the hectic post - harvesting all am and waiting for the delivery!

Wow, Can't believe you've had that tractor a year and a half and only have 50 hrs on it.

52 hrs. but now that the change was done i will use it a lot more. reason: $ has been real tough so trying to milk it as much as i could to get the $ to service it totally. esp since trailering was needed. (My cost). also the times in the winter i needed it would not start due to too cold - so hence the heater now. Lastly - the guy who promised me truckloads of chips didn't produce them so i did not use as much to move them as i had wanted and planned and still need. re: firewood - i moved over 100 ton plus - but cutting it all and splitting manually and stacking - takes time - so i use it in spurts. I planned on more hours but that is fine. now i do not feel bad using it more now that it is all serviced and checked out professionally as such!

I only have 1 acre homestead here and the vineyard the way the 2 areas plus garden is setup with electric deer fencing prevents me from access with the tractor as i would have liked - but it was all setup years prior to getting it. I do love that little thing and not quite as little as the BX series of orange. or whatever of the gree they advertise on TV - glorified lawn tractors.

But I have to say they really expedited and provided good fair service very speedily. That is why i owed them this thread.

Glad to hear everything is settled down, and can enjoy the machine again.

Thanks - felt a bit naked without it in the yard. and the garden tractor too has been gone - still is.

Cut 1 acre last week with a push mower. at least i can cut the bbulk - cannot get in a lot of the other places but the main stuff will be done quite speedily and easily now.
