Lets see your Mahindra!

[Dalmatian90]

3016 Gear...delivered 4/22 and a bit over 80 hours put on it since.

Gravel isn't the best quality...but free and more than I'll likely use in my lifetime...

I'll open with a Pair!! :cards:

That Mahindra has a John Deere Hemorrhoid!! :rotfl:

Call that a $450 hemorrhoid that digs like a champ..... I'm not a fan of John deere, but it's nothing that a little red paint wont fix. Couldn't pass up a working sub-frame backhoe for $450. 4 hours and some welding later..... It looks as and operates as if it were factory installed. ..... Other than the green paint of course.

Good job! Money well spent. Gotta love a good deal.

I guess better late than never. Here's mine. I got a new, last year's model for a sweet deal. 2014 6530 SE 4wd.

Looks nice as does your barn with lots of character.

My 3016 with 16 hours love it

Don't be hating on my barn's character!:laughing: j/k She was in poor shape before I got it. Some dummy cut one of the support post out of the inside a long time ago and compromised the entire front left corner. Everything's out of whack now and the right side of the barn is half rotted away. I've got extra tin for the roof but don't know if it's even worth trying to save right now. It's good enough for tractor storage right now.

I'd really like to salvage the whole thing and then rebuild with shipping containers. Two on the left and three on the right with maybe a 20 ft span between them. Pour a slab between them and cut the interior walls out on the inside of the containers and also put a tunnel 'tainer for one of the two on the left so I'd have double doors on both ends for easy access. Use the left side for storage and the right side for a shop and use the middle for tractor parking and for the occasional wing-ding.

A guy can dream can't he?

I would not recommend to do this at home.
Puts alot of stress on the loader and grapple.
Since then I have learned to be a little more cautious with the types of things I make my machine do...lol

I would not recommend to do this at home.???
Where else would I do this?

Yeah , I'll get around to taking some pics of my little Mahindra.

Very nice. Does the seat flip around for backhoe use on that model?

 

[slefebvre]

My 4035 picked up a ton of wood pellets like a champ!

 

[metalcaster]

Yes the seat raises then spins to the left. Dug out about a dozen sassafras and cherry stumps so far. Only problem so far exists between the black knots and that seat.

Did you mean to say, "black knobs"? Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon enough.

How do you phost a large photo in the phost? i.e., not as an attachment?

the 26 has been putting in work lately, clearing space for a shop
bxpanded toothbar is no joke at all.

just about done with it's bucket modz
weld on items to help pick various things up

pipe extenders to make it a little easier to move brush around (still need to drill some pilot holes to put some lock pins in)

may get modified further depending on utility, etc.

Nice that you have a TIG Welder and the skill to use it. Dont forget to weld sime side cutting edges to the bucket.

As I have a bigger tractor with teeth on the bucket, plus an excavator with dozer blade, a BX tooth Bar would only have me doing stuff I shouldn't with the Max 28. My little bucket is good for tiny grading jobs, and it sure makes for a nice no sweat or back strain required wheelbarrow.
