2516 Mahindra w/backhoe
Hi everyone,

We recieved our new 2516 yesterday with loader, backhoe w/thumb, snowblower, and pallet forks. We love the machine. The power will take a lot to get use too. Not to mention running it at a lower rpm.

Here are some pics.

Congratulations! Would you mind posting a picture of the mechanical thumb on the back hoe? Thanks, and enjoy your new tool. Just be sure to devour your operators manual.

Thanks Guys,

My work schedule is keeping me from playing this weekend. I will take pics of the thumb on monday. We have been reading the manuals as much as possible. There is a lot to learn. LOL

Unfrotanately, the wife said it needs to come out of the garage. I do have permission to build a large shed on the property.

I just noticed you bought a set of pallet forks. That was a very good investment. I use my forks so often, the bucket is seldom on the loader. Everything I once moved by loading in and out of a truck bed or trailer; is now placed on pallets for easy relocation in my storage area. I use the pallets for firewood, cinder block, lumber, and various landscape materials.

I got a set of the clamp on pallet forks. So far, I love them. They are very handy to have around. I was moving the brush pile around the other day. It made it so easy. I wish I bought a set a long time ago.

I also forgot to add that we bought from Stonehams Equipment in Waynsboro, PA. Excellent people to deal with. They are a little new at dealing with the Mahindra brand, but there was not a question they could not awnser. They worked hard to make the deal work.

I did not take pics of the thumb yet. It is made by steel tech and I would not recomend it. I would stick with wallenstein or another major brand. They did not give any instructions; except one diagram. I am in the middle of having my neighbor make some changes to it since he works at a machine shop.
