Mahindra 4035 caught on fire

Wow. Message received loud and clear: avoid Mahindra.

look at the 'similar threads' section at the bottom of this page.

You should also stay away from Fords, Deeres, and Massey's. I bet there are others as well.

It seems Mahindra was fair with this customer.

As to jcraftenworth, if you want a Kubota similar to a 4035, you need to look at the Grand L series. They are nice tractors, lighter than the Mahindra but with nice features.

After reading threads like this one I would never even consider a Mahindra tractor. Great that they finally paid for the parts but look how long it took and how much headache the owner had to go through.

Why would you say that when they helped the guy out with an out of warranty tractor when they didn't have to? I doubt Deere or other makes including Ford/New Holland would have been as understanding.

Exactly. This tractor was totally out of warranty and then had a fire after the starter had been messed with, yet Mahindra decided to help. Seems like they should be commended for that, not derided.

Yeah as you well know, Dave I'm quick to deride Mahindra is areas where they deserve it but this sure ain't one of them. You have to give credit where credit is due. I may be an a s s hole sometimes but at least I'm a fair one. When I criticise Mahinda, it's always aimed at making them better and more successful so my bitching has constructive purpose. I guess it's comes from my past military experience. LOL

After the starter had been messed with by an authorized dealer who probably did nothing that Mahindra would have a problem with. It's a design/durability flaw not a mechanic's error.

Seems like a routing problem. Which is more like an assembly/QC issue rather than a design flaw. Excepting possibly fuse placement...

Perhaps, but I think that means this mess is still on Mahindra, not on the dealer or owner.
