3616 performance aspects

michellesc7 · May 16, 2012

I am considering a 3616 4wd with ags and loader. I know it will do light loader work and bushhogging. I hear it will pull a box blade. How wide?

I need to know with water in the rear ties and ags what size harrow will it pull? 1618? 1620? Will it pull a one row potatoe plow or stall out?

I have talked to alot of nice people who sell Mahindras. I need to hear your input. I looked at the 4010 and the 4035. I like the feel of the 3616.

I plan on using the machine to do heavy gardening/light farming and I am looking forward to its maneuverability for my berry patches, small vegetable food plots and wildlife food plots.

Inputs are valued and appreciated.

I have a 3215 HST, water in all 4 tires, weighs in right around 5,000lbs. I use a 66" roll-over Gannon. While many people will tell you to go with a 6 footer and you could make use of a 6 footer, I suggest that you find a 66" heavy duty box. You will be able to make full use of it pretty much all the time in about all conditions. Get a 6 footer, a heavy one anyway and you then have to be concerned about the load.

I pull a ditcher with my 3215, it goes down 18"-20", pulls it without any problems, but that may just be the type of ground that we have. Sorry that I can't help you out with the disk question, I have a 6' offset pull disk for it, but have never used it. Use my bigger tractors with bigger disks or use the rototiller on the 3215. And don't forget to get the rear remote, you will need it in the future. Here are a couple of pics.

My brother picked it up for me at the Tulare Antique Tractor Show in California several years ago.

I pull a 6 foot grader blade easily with mine and a 6 foot disc my uncle let me borrow. I have ind tires but I need to get em filled. It still has absolutely no problems. 3616 is a tough lil machine.
