Cracking wheels

jwcinpk · Mar 29, 2009

Have any of you dealers had the same problem I have had on my 7010? This is my second wheel (front) to be replaced because of cracks. I originally warrantied the first one because it was warped, but once off we saw cracks in the wheel and now the second one cracked terribly. So far Mahindra has warrantied the wheels but the dealer literally has a pile of cracked wheels at his shop. Seems he has replaced a bunch of cracked wheels on 7010s.

What size front tires/wheels are they? BobG in Va

Edit, I note on the Mahindra website the 7010 has 11.2 x 24 front tires. I also note that it appears that the front transaxels do not have planetary gears at the wheel like the "00" series. Wonder why they changed? BobG

Remember Bob, that the 7010 is a TYM made Mahindra and not a Mahindra made Mahindra.

It does seem odd for them to be having issues with the cracking wheels though.

I haven't heard anything about wheels cracking. It is strange that this would be just a 7010 model problem, as if I am not mistaken, the 7010 wheels come from Titan tire here in the states, just as most of the wheels on all of the Mahindra models, and many other brands of tractors also. Wish I could be more help.

Yes the wheels come with the tires from Titan here in the states. This seems to only happen to the 7010. Dealer has warrantied a bunch of these. Even his own tractor. I'll try to get some pics today of mine and then some of the pile at the dealer when I go back to get the cylinder I'm picking up for the 3316.
