That one is going to be hard to top. Welcome to the Mahindra forum.

This is the way my Mahindra looked when I first saw her. the engine was in the barn completely dissassembled with a damaged crank. It doesnt look very much different now, but I have put a lot of hours into cleaning the block and other parts. The cylinders honed up good. Waiting for the bearings to come in so I can take the crank to the machine shop.

Hope you get a thumb on your Excavator. With the rocks in NH, very valuable.
Great for logging too.

I am planning a hyd. thumb. Shopping for diverter valve stage now. No rocks here. Well, maybe some iron ore here and there. Hyd. thumbs are great for moving matts when pond mucking.

Mahjndra 3215. Love this tractor, been needing one for many years. Now I have my own! Have been borrowing my brothers when really needed. Now I have my own in the yard when I need it, it's great! I have a backhoe for it as well as a York rake and weight box, still keeping an eye out for forks next. (or whatever attachments)

The 3215 owners are rare on this forum. You have a real winner of a tractor. I wouldn't trade my 2615 for the world.

Welcome to the club.

Even more rare are 6520 owners. I never have met one.

I noticed that there aren't too many 3215 tractors mentioned here, didn't know if it was because they weren't very popular or what!
Really love this machine, at 32 hp it seems to have plenty of power and does what is needed, Haven't had any real problems that I have not created (pinched hydraulic hoses, etc.) Seems like if taken care of properly it should be reliable for many years.

Thats my 5010 removing rocks from our property -- we wanted to smooth out some of the land in front of our solar panels to make sort of a 'yard'.


And here it is with the auger on the back and the forks on the front.

Love my 5010 Red Beast!

Do yourself a big favor - buy a tooth bar, asap. Then the beast will really come out of it. Not only will it dig better, you will protect the bucket edge. Also, if you haven't done it, many of us have welded angle iron to the top edge of the bucket. Before doing so to mine I temporarily bowed it.

Nice tractor!

 

[emcvay]

Wow thanks! That would be awesome. Hadn't thought of it but now it will be on the list of 'must haves'! I use it so much that it makes perfect sense to have teeth!

I'm new to owning a tractor, So new that its is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday the 26th. I was wondering if you could post a picture of the angle iron you say you welded to the top edge of your bucket. I plan to work my new tractor hard but I also want to make it last, so whatever recommendations I can get would be greatly appreciated.

My tractor is a my other property , so I can't get a pic ,but I had 3 chain hooks welded to a 1/2 " thick X 3" wide X 6' long steel plate and bolted this to the flat bucket top with 6 bolts (2 on each side of the 3 hooks) . I also backed this with a 3/8 plate on the underside to re-enforce the bucket top. The top of my bucket is now stronger than the lift capacity of my tractor. I think the chain hooks are one of the handiest things I use . Some buckets have the flat top edge some are rounded so the way you re-enforce your bucket may be different .There are several threads on this if you do a search.

How do you bend the top edge of the bucket. I have seen that on some tractors but I have never done it and cannot imagine doing what I would do to bend the top edge. I did loan my tractor out one time and it came back with the cutting edge bowed that I had to straighten but the top edge????

 

[amaxwell]

Big ROCKS!!!!! You would be surprised how easy to bend it moving a rock.
