Backhoe Backhoe for 2516 HSt

Let's have them develop an OEM available 4-n-1 also while they are at it. I'm sure those engineering guys are looking for something to keep them busy!

This would be great as long as the OEM 4-n-1 is strong. Back in February there was an OEM 4-n-1 at the World AG Expo on one of the other makes and I would have to say that if you were picking anything up that was much tougher than leaves or maybe some mulch, it was going to bend.

I saw that also, and it would work for sand and gravel and such, but as soon as an odd size rock or limb was picked up, it would be twisted or bent. On the other hand, KMW tests stuff to death. If it can't be made to last, it won't get out of engineering.

It's a shame that standard doesn't apply to red paint turning pink.

True. The paint has been changed a year or two back and we see no more evidence of such fading, but earlier loaders do fade to pink. Most all loaders on any brand a few years old are somewhat faded (unless kept under cover), but dull green or faded orange looks better than pink.

I second that about KMW. I dug out my pond down to a 4 foot level with just the loader bucket. Well, I should not say dug, but dozed. I had clay rolling in the bucket like a dozer blade. If KMW hadn't done their homework, I would have had a pretzel in front of my 6520.

Thank you
No, my dealership were leaving Mahindra and I had very little choices.
In Virginia most dealerships left Mahindra for Kubota

From your profile, I can't tell where you are located. I'm about 15 miles west of Winchester, VA.

From my experience over the last several years, Mahindra tractors, and the KMW loaders and backhoes, are second to none in quality and support.

Our local Kubota dealer has closed, but our local Mahindra dealer is doing reasonably well.

If you are anywhere in the northern half of the state, think about going a few miles west of Winchester and contacting D&G Equipment in Augusta, WV. They are about 25 miles west of Winchester, VA. They are a great family-owned operation, and they are very knowledgeable of all brands of tractors.

I wish I had a KMW backhoe. Mine ia a Bradco. I have had to get firm in an email to Bradco's Rep. about the slop in my boom. Mahindra covered it, but I am not sure if Bradco reinbursed Mahindra.

I think that the hoes that KMW make are for smaller tractors only.
