I like mine and it works for me, enough said. Model 5010HST. :thumbsup:

Our 2810 gear has held up well, and gets used pretty hard by multiple operators. Only issues we have had is leaking seals (both front and rear wheel/axle seals, and PTO seal) but once I learned the RTV trick from a dealer here, I haven't had any more leaks so far. I also suspected the rear axle seals were installed backwards from the factory.

Also have had sticking solenoid issues both the PTO and fuel shut off solenoids.

The gear selector linkage (1-4 gears) has broken twice now in the same spot. This could possibly be because of operator, or linkage needs to be beefed up.

Other than that I have been impressed. On a side note I think it would be nice to see coolant filters on mahindra's, even if just on the larger utility/cab tractors. They really help keep the cooling system in good shape.

This might be hard, but I would also love to see the battery and/or air filter relocated somewhere besides in front of the radiator. it sure would make routine service easier.

30 light-forestry hours on my 3016 and 99.9% of everything is A OK.

Metal to rubber wear indications on the FEL hydraulic lines so I wrapped them with 3/4" heater hose and zip ties.

I have two, a 7520 4x4 and a 3215HST. Both tractors have loaders and have been excellent machines for what I use them for around the ranch.

I have the 5010 cab /gear model, no complaints thus far.

My 5035 HST has been nothing but problems. I can't put chains on it in the winter because it is so heavy/has so much traction in 4x4, it doesn't really need them. I can't use the seatbelt, I find myself standing sometimes and working the HST go pedals with my toes... inching stuff around with the forks.. I can't beach about mowing around stumps anymore, 'cuz someone dug them all out with the backhoe. Can't converse with the neighbors much anymore... all they keep muttering is " geez, that's a BIG tractor". Yup, nothing but problems... [ ]

Those are the types of problems that most of us would enjoy having. :thumbsup:
