Is this typical Mahindra service?

We finally have enough AR15s and have started on bunker construction

BudMan5, thanks for a good chuckle! I've often told folks that I wish Obama would start some rumors of banning tractors in the near future. We would sell a ton of tractors...there would be waiting lines! Look what that did to firearms and ammo sales!

Dave,
Can these three remotes be mounted on the side of the fender? Just to the left and below the light in this photo.. View attachment 389834
Or would that interfere with 3PH arm movement?

Brandi, it's probably too crowded. Dave

Dave, I think she is talking about the female outlets, they should fit I would think. :confused3:

Brian, I bet you are correct. I suppose they could be moved more towards the center of the tractor. Each model needs to be sorted out as far as where things fit. Ideally it may be better to be closer to center if you are running top/tilt cylinders. But the three-point arms come way up and it is easy to pinch hoses or may them "quick disconnect" where they should not be....

Brian is so right. Not the valves and levers, just the QDs.

On my tractor, they could be moved off the top of the fender. I could have a bracket off of the ROPS mount bolts to hold it. Or move the tail light some to mount on the fender side behind the rops. But I have room for a 3rd set of QDs right beside the OEM ones.

That's why he is the man when it comes to hydraulics, Fit Rite Hydraulics, we recommend his products and service.

Brandi, there is a 3rd rear remote available for your tractor, no reason to be scabbing on any after market stuff. One of these days in all my spare time I will be putting a 4th rear remote on the 7520. I'm just going to use an electric diverter. If you only need 3 rear remotes, OEM is the way to go. If you need more, then no reason to mess with the OEM 3rd unit and just use the diverters to get as many as you need. I don't think you will be moving your light at all, or did you get another tractor? Your 6520 has the lights molded into the fender doesn't it?

On my 3215, only 1 rear remote is available, which I have. I needed 4, I now have 4 by way of 3 electric diverters stacked together. The grey control grip is mounted on the OEM control lever for the rear remote. It has 2 button switches and a trigger switch. :thumbsup: This system seems to work quite well.

Brian,
I am not in the market for a 3rd remote. I was just inquiring on the installation in the photo above having the QDs move to make the fender less "busy". The light movement would be for the tractor in the photo. But I am just guessing here. Your fit rite website has a lot nicer installation. I can not see me needing a third remote any time soon.
Why are you thinking about adding #4?
hugs, Brandi

2 for my top & tilt and 2 for my rear blade for angle and offset. Same requirements for my heavy duty landscape rake, if I can ever get around to building it. I have everything to do all of this stuff, everything except time. Very precious commodity time is, something that is free and yet is irreplaceable.

I figured that you were going to be needing more for your future tractor business. :confused3:

I was thinking similar, somewhere where the hydraulics don't drip on the tractor. Also, I paint my spools right out of the box so they don't rust up.

Brian,
My backhoe stays on 99% of the time. In my mind, I have been forming a design for a front lite weight backfill blade that will tilt and angle. I needed this when I ran over 700 feet of water line around trees and went behind the barn where the fence is 20 feet away. I still need to get in there and make it better for run off.

My design, as of now, will use the grapple's diverter for hydraulics and have a manual diverter valve on the blade to shift from angle to tilt. What I really need is an excavator with a tilt grading blade. My homemade backhoe bucket blade works great, but will not tilt.
hugs, Brandi

I'm not sure, other than we have had nearly two years of month over month sales records for tractors as well, not just backhoes. Perhaps people are feeling better about the economy and have forgotten 2008-2010 with all of the foreclosures and job losses.

For what its worth, It seems every OEM is in this boat right now. Sales are up this year more than most everyone expected and inventory has just been hard to get.

 

[AchingBack]

Wonder what's causing the major uptick in backhoes all of a sudden?

It is the fastest way to bury a lot of cannabis.

Or folks finally realized a BH is a very useful attachment. After owning one 7.5 years, I am still finding new uses for it.

They sure are. Way more useful to me that having an excavator and the maintenance and transporting issues associated. Excavators are for serious digging, but I don't do enough of that to own one.

In the beginning I'll be using it for stump removal. The largest will be 20"-25".

Wedge,
That is what I got mine for. That and cleaning out the gully, with the thoughts of a pond or two on the back burner.
