I have a small 28 hp mahindra 2816 hst. I wanted to plow a field that they made hay on 40 years ago. Lots of grass ect. I think a one bottom would be enough for the machine to pull. But would it be better to buy a two bottom and remove one if I ever wanted to use it in ground that has...

I’ve seen quite a few videos of tractor uses in India. They have loads behind them that a modern dump truck couldn’t carry. And very drawbar heavy to where they are steering with the brakes. I’ve seen them bounce the front hard too. And pulling on the front, while still hooked on the loads...

The last few greasings I wasn’t able to pump any grease into this zerk. But grease would pass through the zerk if I removed it. If I remember right, in previous greasings I thought I remember grease dripping down between the tractor axle and frame while greasing it. So I went a few...

My pto stopped while tractor was doing nothing. It’s a fine line from when the hand lever is in the “ on” position, all the way forward and when the pto might grind because it’s not engaged. I put the hand lever all the way forward in its slot on the fender. Ensured the arm its rotating coming...

Friend of mine just contacted me quick and asked if I new the type of fittings on one of these loaders. A hose that curls the buckets as I have an older 2816. I wrote the dealer, he's usually good at getting back but its near closing now. I was wondering if any of you fellows would know...

What do you guys do in regards to weeding larger gardens with compact tractors? The ground clearance is not enough to clear potatoe stocks for example. If using a cultivator for example.

The grass is relatively tall. I don’t have a mower. How will this fair out if I take a plow to it. It use to be a hay field

I’m tired of grease zerks not accepting grease. I have a can am max xt and I’m in tears trying to get at the zerks only to find they don’t accept grease. And this goes for all equipment. It’s a pet peeve of mine.

I know this could turn into a lengthy post. But I’m really care more for a short answer. What are the issues with tractors made after the post emissions technology? Are they more troublesome? More complicated for the backyard mechanic? Lost their simplicity?

I have been making rear rack extension on my atv to mount a pan or box. I had to fit the bracket/support on the rear bumper and against the pan and tack weld. I didn’t want to do it as I know the trouble I could get into with frying electronics. So I disconnected battery. OnCe tacked I...

I’ve used a Lucknow 6’ single stage snowblower on the rear of my mahindra 2816 hst. 22 pto hp. I’m pretty slow with it, never really bogged engine much. But curious, will this cause pto clutch premature failure. Anyone have pto clutch failure from longer term abuse with to large of an...

I’m curious of the comparison if anyone has experience with these. I only see videos on the older Fords pulling 2 bottom plows etc. What would be the similarities or differences to a mahindra 2816 or 3016. Mine is hst, industrial tires, no added weight except fel. 4x4. To a standard 8n...

I haven't used the tractor much lately, only to move around a trailer and some odds and ends amounting to no time. However, the other day, I was palleting some stuff on the three point, and moving the trailer around again, and I did notice the tractor was biting more while turning. later on...

I could hear almost like gears just trying to mesh or what sounds like a marble bouncing around inside the rear of the tractor for lack of better description. I adjusted the clutch. All seems ok. When I engaged the pto lever it came back so I watched the pto shaft and noticed it slowed down...

Some of the newer tractors have more bells and whistles making them a little harder to work on. What were some of the simpler tractors to work on ? I read somewhere the old Massey痴 135 were wanted in india because they could strip them and repair them when needed. Simpler and more robust...

Just noticed in my area a Massey 3165 1978 tractor for sale 7500$ Canadian dollars . Seems a bit expensive. Says 300 hours on new engine. No loader.

Had this typed out before the net shut off and lost it all let me try again. I heard what can best be described as a marble or a gear just starting to mesh in rear of the tractor as I was removing the 3 point hitch. It didn稚 seem to matter whether the tractor was neutral or gear. Only when...

There was a program "land and Sea" which is a local program about various things in Newfoundland Canada. This particular Episode was a lady who took over her fathers farm. She was planting turnip seed on her fathers Ford tractor. An older friend of mine was sitting down nearby and said he...

Was wondering if anyone had experience using one of these. I dug the side of my garage out, but not sure if I know the rate I could dig a hole. I'm talking about a mini with rubber tracks, but still in the 7000lb range like the 302.7 cat, or the E26 bobcat or 26 G john deere and equivalents...

Anyone think doing a 24 by 40 roof with metal roofing is too much by yourself? Any experience putting it on? doesn't sound to be too bad if the roof is square. The roof is sheeted in. Just sounds like a lot of fasterners, and maybe handling the large sheets of metal . I have a 27 foot...

Over and over thebuilding contractor makes excuses for not getting at my garage. I go away for nearly a month at a time and don稚 have a lot of time. Normally when my father was alive we’d do any carpentry ourselves, albeit rough and with rough lumber. I moved closer to civilization and itç—´...

I bought a 2816 hst years ago for my mother who since passed. I use it now, but I致e searched the internet for videos etc but the only stuff I find are ads for someone selling a 2816. Just for sale adds. What gives? Is there something I知 missing with this tractor. I致e had no trouble with it.

Just wanted to open a little thread of sorts. I was always impressed while searching the net of all these really small tractors doing heavy work, or being worked hard over the years. Some of those videos in eastern Europe showing the guys with their little tractors are impressive. Some of...

These features are slow on the tractor. Do ward function in the winter can be extremely slow to put the loader down.

Looking at the geometry of the FEL, its attached near your feet and on the front bumper of the tractor. So from I interpret, when the bucket is full the front bumper is the fulcrum. The bucket of weight wants to go down, while the connection point back by your feet would want to go up should...

Anybody have experience with these winches out of Ontario?

In the works of building a new garage. However, I'm out to sea at the moment and will not be in . I'm drawing up plans just to see what it would look like. It has to be 24 feet wide, but it can be any length. I was thinking 40 feet. With a 6 on 12 pitch. I was going to put it on 4 feet...

I will have to look at the add again in our local buy and sell. I noticed an M7040 for about $30000 , I believe 2008 or 2009 year. I'm not sure now if its the 4x4 model. Larger tractor model then some of the compact tractors not far off of that same price. It has 400 hours on it. That...

Just wondering how large of an area can be ploughed with a hydrostatic 28 hp tractor. The ground was used for hay making 35 years ago. No rock, reddish topsoil. It hasn't been used in this time nor broken. It remains clear of brush for the most part. 35 acres.

Do you have to leave the tractor running to check the transmission oil. Manual is 100 miles away. Thanks

Why don't they make smaller gasoline engines with HP between 30 and 60. Seems like any small engines you find are normally no higher then 25HP where as they then switch to diesel. I see Kohler makes the aegis 31 hp.

I was wondering if three differential could be attached together and used to drive tracks. The reason for three would be to prevent power loss while steering and anti slip on the " no traction side". My theory is that I'd use the middle differential (spider gears welded) to drive...

We always had an old farmall, so little experience with the 3pt hitch. I was wondering if people have bent or broken the shafts the lower lift arms attach to on the tractor. I'm thinking of making a blade or subsoiler, but I would imagine that could cause much impact forces on these, they dont...

I have an old crossley 1938 engine that Im restoring. It works, at least it did 2 years ago. I often thought of making a wooden tractor with it. Wooden chassis, make it look old and rustic. has anyone seen such a thing? I have a couple sawmills.

What weight have people lifted with their boom poles. I have a mahindra 2816, I was wondering what I could expect to lift with a boom pole. I know it would depend on the length of the boom pole, and of course safety. But generally what would one expect to lift with this. I wanted to build one...

I know this is not the spot for talking about estates. Although being as it used to be a farm and it means alot to me and people here can be informative i thought I would ask. Basically, there are more twists then I may put here but the story goes as follows A father and his son purchased 48...

has anyone had much experience with these? I saw one in princess auto, made by princess. It slips over the pto shaft, but my question is how do you keep it from spinning the pump body itself? There doesnt seem to be any mounts on it to hold it from spinning with the pto shaft?

Just a thought, I notice all throughout the manual that it says dont idle the tractor below 1500, idle 1500 when its cold, idle 1500 before stopping and such. The only time I have read in the book when they tell you to run the tractor below 1500 is when its being transported (hydrostatic drive)...

Thinking of buying the mahindra 2816 hst. Was wondering what peoples thoughts on. The mahindra looks like a simplier, more durable machine. The price was the best around this area. The physical size of this model in comparison to a kubota b 26 is no comparison. I was wondering what...
