    Mahindra built Mahindras...

    Well, I thought that what I asked was fairly specific... maybe not. Designed and built by Mahindra. In a Mahindra factory. Mahindra powertrain, Mahindra engine. Not a TYM or Mitsubishi (although I do understand that M&M owns a part of Mitsu Ag...). I think those Mitsu built tractors are...

    Mahindra built Mahindras...

    Hey everyone, I'm just trying to figure out which Mahindra models in the current 2023 lineup are "True Mahindra's" built by Mahindra, and not 3rd party rebrands. As best I can tell from sitting here at my desk, it looks like these would be everything from the 3600 series and upward. Can...

    Rubber Boot for FEL control

    Hey guys, had a tree limb grab my rubber boot and rip it to shreds... now I need a new one. Any ideas where to get one besides the dealer? My dealer quoted me about $65 for a new boot... just doesn't sound right :shocked:. 2007 Mahindra 3525 with Buhler built ML230 Loader, Nimco controls...

    Mahindra Australia website

    Just found the Mahindra Austrailia website... Mahindra Australia > Products > 25-2WD Series (35 HP) > Features Looks like they don't have as many tractors to choose from down under, but I like their website a lot better than MahindraUSA's... much more informative!!! Maybe the good folks in...

    Zucchini Sudden Death

    Well, it happened last year to 1 plant, and now it has happened to 2 of our plants this year... The Zukes look beautiful and healthy, and then all of a sudden they will wilt down and die... all within 24 hours. Has this happened to anybody else? It has to be something getting into the...

    Just picked up a new...

    Tiller! Got the 6' KK tiller for my Mahindra 3525. I looked this one over pretty good before I decided to take it home... all the welds look good, and even the paint doesn't look too bad, except a few spots that are worn off from the shipping "crate". They might have used a mop to paint it...

    Replacement Cultivator shank

    I'm in need of a replacement cultivator shank... C style, with one hole where it bolts to the cultivator frame, and 2 holes where the sweep bolts on. It has "8R8" stamped into it on the back, near the mounting hole. Does anyone know of an online place to get one of these... I can't find any...

    Welding Bucket Hooks!

    Today I added a set of 3 bucket hooks to my Mahindra 3525/ML230 FEL... Started off with 3 3/8" grade 43 grab hooks with the eye. Cut off the eyes, and ground the backs down so they would have a good base to weld to the baseplates. And then welded them to 1/4 inch pieces of steel plate...

    Logging Winch

    I finally had a need to hook up my logging winch that I built about 5-6 years ago, so I figured I'd snap a few pics of it... I've not used it yet on the Mahindra, I built it for my 8N after they logged the woods behind my house to drag up the tops that had fallen down into the creeks, valleys...

    Oil & Fuel  WATER IN OIL SUMP???

    Ok, I changed the oil tonight in my 3525 with 29.8 hours on the clock. First thing out of the sump was a few ounces of WATER :eek:... Clear WATER. Then, the oil started coming out, and it did look darker than it did on the dipstick, but it wasn't BLACK like I'm accustomed to seeing... more of...

    Oil & Fuel  Clean oil???

    OK... this is really strange, or, at least it is to me... I've got almost 30 hours on my 3525 now, and the engine oil looks to be still just as clean as when it came out of the jug... I've never seen a diesel do this (or, I should say, NOT do this)... never. I don't know if I should be happy...

    Mahindra 3525-- Check your sway bars/brackets

    I finally got to do a good bit of 3PH work today with my new 3525, and it always seemed that when I would raise the hitch, the arms would want to spread outward. I thought that was kind of wierd, but didn't think too much about it. When I took my lunch break, I got out the owners manual, and...
