Mahindra 5155 Anyone?

[C79]

I got to run my 7ft snowblower on my 5155 last Sunday. Having ran it on my old one the extra horsepower made a huge difference. It will also throw sod now when you get out too far. I still only have 3.5 hours on my new 5155. Still too wet to get out on my fields but I realized I now have the ability to run a subsoiler. If it ever dries up and I can get things subsoiled to the ditches it should dry things out earlier next year.

Took delivery today of the 5145, in this video I talk about the loader joystick, just an update, I figured out what the issue was, iam a little embarrassed because I thought the issue was going to be more involved, but after looking at it closer I realized that the rubber boot was creating a vacuum and pulling itself back down, I just had to let a little air from underneath, basically burping the rubber boot, works fantastic now,I do have an issue with the 3 point valve adjuster knob, it's loose, so I have to get underneath the seat to try to re attach the knob, other than that....so far, so good, I'll let y'all know what else I find...to be continued John stark NC, having trouble uploading video, it's too large, I'll shrink it down and put up later.

That’s awesome! We’re all doing our part to stimulate the economy. Good luck with your new tractor. Have fun and stay safe. She’s a powerful thing and that’s good. But it can also get you in trouble. So be careful. Let us know how you like it when you get some seat time.

Is there a way to post a larger video file, because I shrank it down to 1.36 minutes but still too large, or should I just post it on YouTube and provide a link to the video?

Andy...thank you so much. I was concerned that I would need to depress the main clutch every time to start or stop the PTO like on my 4550. This is much better!

No problem. Glad to help. And I agree that a totally independent PTO is the way to go. Whether it’s an electric over hydraulic type actuated by a switch, or a hand clutch lever. I haven’t even hooked anything to my PTO yet. Just spooled it up to verify function. Enjoy the tractor.

My 5155 should arrive in the next couple weeks. I would like to prepare for it by reading the Operator's Manual but I can't find one on-line - preferably a digital copy. The Mahindrausa owners login probably has it but I don't have my tractor serial number to gain access. If anyone has a digital one or knows how to get it, please help. Also, Bill's Tractor has the digital service manual on sale for $40 which is a good deal.

SoldierP,
Just my two cents but the manuals that come with your 5155 are very well done and I felt having my machine onsite was helpful resolving any uncertainties I had about where a filter, filler cap, or anything else was. I admit I am not much a mechanic but being able to see something in person makes a difference for me.

I still can't get over how quiet these machines are! I am also happy about the exhaust location. No stack putting fumes in your face all day long.

I second the comments on the manuals being well done and the quietness of the engine. I was not expecting much with the manual based on my last tractor. Great tractor but lame manual. Idk if true but I actually mentioned the manual on the 5155 to my dealer in an after purchase visit and he said that the Indian made tractors generally have much better manuals than the tractors they get from Japan or Korea. So I found that interesting. I don’t know how to access the digital manual. Maybe your dealer can get you a hard copy prior to arrival of the tractor? Might be worth asking.
