Hi folks, new 2015 owner amongst you all. Nice machine. HST, FEL and 4 foot brush cutter were picked up yesterday. Like a kid on Xmas morning, of course driving wifey crazy.

Welcome Lou,

If you are like the rest of us, you'll absolutely love your 2015. I have the 2015 4WD. I've got 25 acres, and about a half-mile of driveway to maintain. It does all I ask of it, and more.

Welcome Lou
I have a 3525 Only had it a little while but it seems like it is going to be a good tractor. Mahindra makes a good machine. It is about 60 here in MS today just came in for a bite of lunch then it's back on the tractor for awhile till me and the wife have to leave this afternoon for Spokane. have fun

Yeah, I second what KNUTE said. Awesome little machine. There's nothing it won't do. (within reason)

Thank you to all for the welcome, looks like nice site and informative. I only have 4 inches of snow scattered on my property now
I do have a question... I just hooked up the brush cutter to day and ran it to see if it works and it does, but upon depressing the clutch I hear a clacking noise as it is slowing to stop of PTO. While running and clutch out it is quiet and smooth. Sounds to me like a gear not totally engaged or something. Is there an adjustment for this area? Everything else seams tight and well put together, fit and finish are nice.

The sound you are hearing is normal. I think it is some type of backlash feature. It is supposed to do that. Don't worry about it.

That is the over-running clutch in the transmission. That model does that and it is normal. Congrats on the purchase!

Whew!!! Glad it is normal. Thank you for the help and replies.
Now the work starts.
