Another Question

I can't remember.....

Does the 10 and 15 series tractors have an auto engine shutoff if the operator suddenly "leaves" the seat while in gear?

Thanks!

The 2810HST does.

Dave,

Did you ever find the toolbox? Was the tire sizes just like the spec sheet? Thanks for the update to the kill switch.

Thanks again,

There is no tool box on the 2810HST.

There are other differences from the 2810HST and the other 10 series machines.

It isn't just the transmission but look at the pictures and you will see the ROPS on the 10 series HST is not the same as the other 10 series machines. What made the machine stand out for me is the good ground clearance even with the backhoe on.

I sat it beside the DK-40 Kioti I had here for a while and the Mahindra had the same front tires as the 40HP Kioti , more ground clearance with the Hoe on, and you sit higher in the seat on the Mahindra.

I liked the DK-40 but the BH sub frame mount on the Mahindra has the Kioti beat hands down, and I like the Dayco hoe a lot more the Kioti's hoe. That's the only thing that would steer me away from the 15 series machines, that series uses the same bottom mounting BH system as Kioti. I want the ground clearance with the hoe on.

Thanks for the information. I like ground clearance too and find that invaluable in wooded places. The slightly larger tires certainly help that!

Thanks for your help, especially the kill switch issue. I was going to right off the Mahindra 10 series because of that. I may just jump up to the 3510HST!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
