Mahindra 5155 Anyone?

[C79]

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.

I am in search of a shop manual they are usually available through Bill's Tractor online.

Yes, Bill's Tractor has them in pdf form to download - $40. And it is far better than the one for my 4550 but is missing the first section that describes the tractor.

Understand the benefit of having the tractor and manual side-by-side. But I'm anxious to start learning about it. If anyone who already has the tractor can go to Owners Login | Mahindra | Houston Texas and enter their serial number, they may be able to download it and share. Thanks

The only bummer about the manual, is that they left out the wiring diagram, my 4540 had one in the back after the maintenance chart.

Follow this thread from the beginning, only minor issues for me , my 5145 continues to impress, I've done a few things recently that the 4540 struggled with, and the 5145 made short work of it, iam very pleased, however upon puting it back in the shop(as I've done several times already) I guess I didn't roll my thousand dollar insulated garage door all the way up, and the ROPS caught the bottom panel and bent the heck out of it, I guess I'll be spending my Sunday fixing the door....on a good note...the tractor is just fine

John,
Ouch for door. Glad tractor ok.
Sounds likesomething I would do. Glad yall having good luck with 5145/55.
I had been thinking of mahindra 2645 or tym474 and kioti ck4010 all smaller lighter machines. Had just recently heard of 5100 series and it definitely had my interest. My property is hilly so weight and wide stance would be better

Here’s the chart out of the owners manual. Looks like just a hair over 1 mph in low range first gear. Hope this helps.

so thumbing through the manual for my 5145 looking at the 50 hr service for cleaning the suction strainer, it says to drain the transmission fluid....wow , thats alot of fluid, so your supposed to replace all the fluid?.... hope i got enough buckets , my 4540 didn,t call for that, am i reading that correctly? i think ill run fluid through a filter and just put it right back in.
