I thought you other Mahindra folks would appreciate my latest Mahindra siting. Up until now here in middle Tennessee the Interstate mwoing crews (contractors) have allways been a mix of JD, Kubota, and MF. I noticed this evening the bunch parked at my exit included two Mahindras. Couldn't get...

Was wondering if any of you could contribute anything to the following saga. A good friend bought a used 2810 (old TYM version) from a co-worker. About three years old, but under 50 hours. He brought it to my place last Spring to help with haying. The times I was on it, it seemed "hot" but...

My good wife has decided that she wants her own tractor -- she's not keen on clutches and shifting, but has driven the Allis with a 5' rotary cutter. Her idea is to get something big enough to handle our 11' wheel rake so she can rake while I bale behind her. Right now the Mahindra is the only...

My "new to me" but very old IH Model 46 baler has several shear bolts. The operator's manual (a reprint) talks about type 1 (regular), type 2, and type 3 (special) bolts and says use type 2. The picture shows a bolt head with three hash marks that I would call a grade 5 bolt. Is this correct...

I'm a new member so some of you may feel I have no right to comment, but consider this a somewhat independent view. In a few (very few) threads I have viewed, brand loyalty has become mostly negative jabs (little fact, just trash talk) about another brand or brands. I think that is counter...

I just got two of these units -- one fully operational (baled about 300 bales this spring), the other a "parts" baler -- it baled about 500 last year until the "brother-in-law" didn't check the position of the knotter and turned on the PTO, bending the needles. My last "experience" if you can...
