I’ll try it with a load. Empty 4’ forks drop about 18-20” in a day. I’ll look closer for a leak.

Feel like I'm beating a dead horse in trying to figure out why the loader curl / rollback is so weak. I hear lots of complaints on this loader, but haven't seen any solutions. Of course, it could be that it's as good as it gets, but that doesn't seem logical to me. I am waiting on a pressure...

Thanks all for the comments. Recently with forks on the tractor, I have pretty week curl. Lift is still strong. So I will be testing the psi of the loader. Needless to say, the bucket experimenting is on hold or dead.

Anyluck with finding the loader relief valve ? My curl (breakout) force is weak on my 2018 2638HST Cab. I talked to Mahindra and they suggested to test the pressure to see if its at 2347 psi. I ordered a test setup after confirming that my couplers were ISO 5675 1/2". Will test the bucket...

I did look at a MX5800 as a similar tractor and from what I saw, its about 200 lbs lighter. I do understand the importance of counterweight. Pushing the wheels out further makes a lot of sense. I will be operating on flat ground and using it to unload and move building materials around and...

Thanks for the comments. very helpful. Its a ROPS, 4X4, LA854 FEL. If I go see it, I'll definitely check the HST / hydraulic leak and see if the maintenance records indicate its been addressed. Based on the LA854 FEL specs, it seems like it would be a digging / lifting machine.

Haven't seen it in person yet, but owner says it runs well, etc. Looks in good shape. Says he has the maintenance records. Really like the loader capacity for lifting, dirt work, etc. which is a big reason I need the tractor. Its HST. Assuming good maintenance, how many hours can be...

Thanks all for your comments. Will check them out.

Besides ordering from Mahindra, I assume these are pretty standard and hoping for a source that will be cheaper. I'd like to make a pressure gage setup to test my FEL , etc hydraulic pressure. Thanks

Good points. Regarding the loader portion, the max lift is 1634 lbs at full height. Reasonable to assume that this max lift can be handled by the frame. The BH is factory installed, so I assume the max lift of 1634 lbs can be handled by the frame with the BH installed. Based on similar...

Need to do a lot of sitework with pretty easy to dig sand piles dumped from a tandem. Would like to speed it up a bit with a 72" bigger bucket. I have plenty of counterweight with filled tires and BH. Any experience with a bigger bucket ? Thanks

Thanks Carl. Looking forward to other comments on the tractor as well.

Hi- Going to be borrowing this tractor with FEL from a good friend with possibility to buy. In good shape. 1310 hours. 4WD, enclosed cabin, AC and heat works. Dont know the year, but he thinks he bought it 8-9 years ago new. Can you tell from the SSN or anywhere else on the tractor the...
