Buying Advice Buying Advice 6530

[kneedeep]

I am in need of a larger tractor to pull a 1.5 yard dirtpan, mowing and pulling a 5' No-Till planter.
Local dealer is taking a used 6530 in on trade next month and I would like to get some reviews from fellow Mahindra owners, good and bad.
Only one review on the TBN site and it is a unit with a bad fuel pump.

Any advice pro or con is appreciated.

My 2008 Mahindra 5525 has been solid--no problems. Just do the periodic maintenance. Just passed 200 hours. Mine is 2WD, 8F/2R with the ML250 FEL and skid steer quick attach on the bucket, triple rear hydraulic remotes. It's a big, heavy, honest tractor. Very little plastic on the body--mostly steel.

Good luck

I am sold on Mahindra- my 3510 is a great tractor and since adding a 509 Backhoe last year, I spend way too much of my too little free time taking it on and off for mowing and planting food plots. I could mow every time I am in MS since that Delta grows weeds and briars as well as row crops.
I can get more done with an additional power unit since my wife can operate a tractor and we could get 2 times as much done.

My goal is to get a 50+ HP used Mahindra with bigger mower now and paid for in time to retire.

This one didn't get away! I was there when it unloaded and jumped all over it before another one slipped away!

Sorry- should have said that this old boy is a 5500. A 6530 got away from me about a month ago and this one was too good to pass on

You will enjoy the 5500. Very stout tractor and is built like a tank. Congrats on the buy

Can't wait to put it to work, had foot surgery scheduled 11-4 for a couple of months. I was just picking up some 3510 filters when it hit the yard. Had to move on it or move on cause it wasn't going to set there while I recovered for 6 weeks!
While laying around with my foot up, I downloaded all the manuals from Mahindra 24/7 I could on the tractor and loader.
Since I can't get back to the dealer until next Friday to sign papers, I decided to pull the trigger on a bucket mounted grapple- the GR7000 by Aldoni.
If I spend too much time surfing instead of working, I might blow my equipment budget forever! LOL :cool2:
