What's this Mahindra worth?

npalen · Dec 15, 2017

Not sure of the year but would be in the 2004 to 2008 range, I believe, with less than 300 hours and has the turbo.
What would it cost to add a loader?

npalen · Dec 15, 2017

Forgot to mention 30HP and hydrostat.

Its probably the same one on tractorhouse for sale at $7900.
TractorHouse.com | MAHINDRA 315 HST For Sale - 1 Listings - Page 1.

Just an older model 15 series Mahindra with the Mitsubishi engine. I had a 2615HST for 10 years. Great tractor.
An ML110 loader would have been the loader for that model. Not sure where you'd find one available today. Rare that it doesn't have one as most of that era tractors (15 series) came with a free loader when I bought mine. I guess it may have been ordered without one.

MtnViewRanch · Dec 15, 2017

Try KMW for the loader. They built the loaders for Mahindra, still do on some models. I believe that they could set you up.

Good luck.

Oh, and the 30hp was way underrated. My understanding is it's more like 34hp.

npalen · Dec 15, 2017

I do have an email in to KMW which is located about an hour or so south of here. They don't show any small loaders on their webpage but might be able to come up with something.

Edit: Regarding your comment on the 34hp, I've read somewhere that they added the turbo to meet emission requirements so maybe that accounts for the additional hp.
Tractor data still shows 30hp.
Do you (Brian) offer top and tilt to fit the 3015?

This one is for sale by a private party and listed at 273 hours. He says it has power enough to run an 8 ft bush hog but that sounds like quite a load for this little tractor.

The turbo was on there for an upgrade over the 2615 That same exact engine with the turbo was used in the 3015, 3215 & 3316. Nothing being different with the engine at all. The later 3316 tractors are the best because of the transmission improvements.

Yes I build top & tilt sets for the 3015. You will need to figure what you will do for the control valves though.

darmstrong2319 · Dec 16, 2017

I had the 2615 gear and think it was 23 hp at pto. A 5 ft cutter worked fine on it but wouldn’t want anymore than that.

This must have been where I read about the turbo to reduce emissions. (post #4)

OK, I see. They must have had it without a turbo at some time? All that I have ever seen or read about had a turbo. But as I said, actually have 34hp. My 3215 is and has been a GREAT little clean up machine for us. It was one of two of the last 3215s. And as I had mentioned and this was from Dave when I picked up my 3215 from him, the 3015, 3215 & 3316 all had the same exact engine and none were ever rated at the 34hp that they actually have. The only difference between the first 3316s and the 3215s were the decals. They later improved the HST trans on the 3316s.

If you can find a loader for the tractor, I'm sure it will be a nice machine for you. :thumbsup:

npalen..careful now,Ol Ernie and the rest of em at Carrico will be giving you crap for a red tractor

npalen · Dec 17, 2017

The turbo may have been in place from day one of production. Could have been a case where they had established the model numbers with horsepower ratings and then discovered, prior to production release, that a turbo was needed to meet EPA emissions. At that point it probably would have been messy to change the specs after the new model promotions were in place. This is all pure guess on my part.
Haven't seen the turbo but bet it's a cute little guy.

Haha--They see an occasional red or blue come thru but I doubt that they get too excited. The Carrico folks are nice hometown people and have always treated me well and have expanded to other locations as you can see. It's now in the third generation of ownership.

I remember going into Carrico's store with my Dad back in the fifties. It was just a small quonset along U.S. 24 back in those days with Paul Carrico selling New Idea and Minneapolis Moline. Used to see a lot of MinnieMo G's out in the fields back in the day. They weren't all bad in the fact that you could operate them standing up if you got tired of sitting and still grab the hand clutch.
I recall moldboard plowing at night with one of my uncles G's running LP with the exhaust manifold glowing red. They always ran better at night or so I'm told.

It looks identical to the Cub Cadet 26 HP. I had a new one in the year 2000 it was a great machine. I just traded it for 6 grand with a front loader. It ran as good as day one. Mine was gear and I loved it.

It was made by Mitsibishi. My loader was made by Great Bend but they went out around the great depression of 08 or so. It was a rugged loader.

Regards, Fred

npalen · Dec 20, 2017

Planning to go take a look at the 3015. Any known electrical problems on this model/series? Any EPA stuff? Other things to look for?

The Fred · Dec 20, 2017

Parts prices are stupid and if the Hydro went bad then $$$$$$$$$$

Like I said mine was gear drive.

I believe they had issues breaking the engine block if you used a front loader with high hours. You might peek at the way the FEL mounts or consider adding a subframe.

Good luck, Fred

npalen · Dec 20, 2017

I hear you on the subframe and don't believe I would want to mount a loader without one. Need to keep the front and rear of the tractor connected for sure. This 3015 doesn't have a loader so looking around for what might be available.
The Mahindra dealer priced one at $4300.00 if available which is ridiculous. Might have to adapt an aftermarket loader.

Also wondering about the overall width on the 5030. Tractordata shows just under 54" while I've seen some other place showing it at 60" I suspect they are measurements with different types of tires but not sure. Looking to use a 5'x9' Uhaul trailer that is 57" inside width so the reason for concern.

I'd worry about the length in that little trailer, as well. Oh, and the weight; the U-Haul site shows the 5x9 utility trailer rated for a 1,650 lbs. load.
