Mahindra tractors: Should you buy one? 

I forgot to mention the frame and the thickness of the metal, Mahindra uses. I like the fact it is built "beefier" than others.

Mahindra is not to blame for his bad transmission choice. I have all HST transmissions on my Mahindra tractors. I love them.

I do also have mahindra tractor of 45 HP, that really works fantasticly by the way I am from India 🇮🇳 . And fells proud to be indian brand tractor ( mahindra) is satisfying our foreign farmer brothers.

Honest review sir and I've always heard good things about Mahindra tractors. Thank ya for sharing!! Dan

I have the 4550 and use it like you. Very well built tractor, I went from shuttle shift to this gear shift style because of reliability down the road. I grew up on gear tractors, if you constantly used loader as dairy farm and such the shuttle is awesome. It pulls my two 16” plows with ease. I researched a lot before I selected Mahindra, don’t pay extra for a color or brand that it self is made cheap. Keep up the great videos.

i’ve always kind of wondered about Mahindras as a whole ,thanks for the video and what appears to be your honest opinions

Great review Hank! Nice tractor man, I like how Mahindra had designed their engine the way they did! You explained a lot of key points. 👍. Also the light bar and tool box was nice, I’m thinking those might be some added “bling” on the LS haha! Take care man!

If you’re doing any brush clearing, I highly recommend a Piranha Tooth Bar. It will make that bucket so much more useful. I got one for my 4550 and it fit like a glove and I could not be happier with it. Made me love my tractor even more.

I will be doing a review on my Kubota . Thanks for sharing the Truth. They all have their faults. It come down to service for Me . Great video Hank

Love My "Miss Apple" 2538 with cab, grapple and stump grinder.

Good video. This is the Tractor I am considering. Why? Because of price and power. Right at 2,900 lbs loader lift. 3,500 3 pt. Lift. I don't know of another Tractor with this strength that can touch it especially in price. However there are simple things they should address from the factory. So simple like tighten down all the nuts and bolts. Do your job! Take pride in your work. Listen to your clients like you Hank! Put a stronger steel guard in front of the steering component. Make the armrests more durable and finally do your warranty work. Honor it. Mahindra is close to being a Tractor Company that consumers can have more confidence in. Thanks for taking the time to make this video Very helpful. You get 5 Stars. 😝

Personally I prefer the 2wd axle design because you don't have to worry about destroying the steering gear, also the "brush guard" on the 5500 is really just a *massive* steel bar across the lower/middle part of the grill.

I got the 4565, very simple like the 575 DI we've used for 17 years. Tough and simple.

Great video. I’m sure it will do A fine job. It’s like everything else, take care of it and it will take care of you.

I have a 3616 and an Mpower 85p and they are awesome tractors! They are definitely very stout machines

Good review video. It’s a tough tractor but it’s not a tank. You’ve worked it hard. My dad’s SAME Corsaro 65HP tractor is a similar tractor but 30 years older.

Love my 4540!

I think you hit on the key thing, a good dealer can make or break your tractor experience. There are many good tractors out there (just like the old Ford vs Chevy debate), but the dealer can determine if your tractor ownership will be a positive or negative experience. I agree on the brush guard. My Kubota suffers from the same issue, you would think that they would design them to prevent sticks and such from getting by them. I do like the HST. My dad was pointing out how nice his gear shift tractor is when mowing, until he realized that my tractor came with cruise control, so I can set it and the tractor will maintain the speed and I don't have to keep my foot on the pedal.

Nice review, honest opinion, but I’ve not seen any reviews on any tractors with 1000 or more hours. You are right about the dealer, that is a deciding factor for me. Thanks for your videos.

I love my Mahindra 1526 and am planning to move up to 2638.

You totally sold me on the ammo can tool box attachment. I'm going to go do that on my tractor.

Great review Hank.

thanks man...

Most tractors say tighten certain bolts after a few hours

Say what you want about Mahindra's quality, we have 2 Mahindra 5500s (an '03 and an '07) and the only issue we've ever had that wasn't us beating the ever living crap out of them was a hydraulic leak on the '03 when it was new. The '07 has a loader which is a really well made loader. While I can't reccomend a new Mahindra as I have not had experience with them I *DO* highly reccomend the 5500.

I have two mahindra tractor for my field,,i am very satisfied

I have an old 9N that I wrench in for five hours and get an hour of two out of it before it breaks down again. Wifey just gave me the green light on a new tractor. Seriously considering the 4540, we are going to be buying land soon and might as well have a tractor that works and is paid off when were ready for the big move.

great work

I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a 4540. I have contemplated the standard trans over and over. This is a lifetime purchase for me and I don’t want to regret getting a standard trans versus a shuttle shift. I don’t really know if it will matter to me down the road, but the comforts of a shuttle shift, foot space on the floor and access from either side of the tractor seem appealing. However, those things cost money. Is is worth it? Or will it matter to me? I appreciate your videos and it’s helped me in my consideration of the 4540. Now if I can figure a way to claim the tractor as an expense and get some kind of tax benefit....

Hey buddy, good vid. I almost pulled the trigger on the 4550. I think it is a beautiful tractor, and I like the old school look. I changed my mind for several reasons and went with the Kubota. But I do have one question, I heard you cant run thru the gears without grinding. What has been your experience with that?

That model of tractor in not the BMW of machines but it is a real work horse.

i bought the 4550 in 2016 and love it. pound for pound nothing else came close to it

My husband and I are watching your videos. Great source of info, thanks! My husband wants to know where he can buy a chainsaw holder like the one you have on your tractor?

Good afternoon Hank. Just wanted to know your thoughts about Messicks doing a review on the Mahindra 4550. While I think the old school design is tried and true, very strong and dependable, this guy dogs this Tractor pretty hard. Yet it out lifts , out weighs the competition. Costs less. Also much less to go wrong without all the computers and modules. Thanks. Mark.

He likes the power. 🤔

When I Google best selling tractors in America it's Mahindra. But I'll give it a listen

Hi Hank, Just wondering what you paid for this tractor and model. I live in the UK but i have land in Italy and plan to move back but need a tractor. Ive been talking to someone in the states about a 605 model. He says he works for a company called Best Buy in San Francisco, I dont know anything about the States im afraid. Can anyone advise please..... Loving the channel by the way

I love my 2538,

After chuckE2009 review with all the trouble with it and the lack of service after the sale and the problems getting it fixed where crazy I don’t think I could even consider them

Have you had any problems with the electrical system?

The Tractor itself is well built. But we are on the third dealer in 5 years . So around hear you never know if it's going to be covered under warranty by someone or not

I have a 4025, very similar. I love my Mahindra, want a larger 70-100 hp tractor, not going to buy a shuttle, or highly computerized tractor though, suggestion's? Thanks!

I have the 1626 hst now with 20 hrs on it and the center link that steers the front wheels bent almost in half! Maybe I ran against a stump but at first it was slightly but and against the front drive shat u going. Bent it down to clear the the u joint. Then was pushing brush and suddenly the link bent MORE and wheels towed out. Seems like a weak link.

One day,,, yes one day I will have the money to get one !!!

Hi almost 3 years on is you opinion of Mahindra tractors still the same ? regards from N Ireland UK .

We had one for just around the yard and couldnt stand it seemed very dated to us kinda like ford was getting before going to New holland compared to our other tractors the options just weren't there and didnt seem to stand up to being used 12/7... I guess they are like kubotas good for hobby/yard work we've even lately been moving from new Holland/deere to trying fendt

I am going to make me that tool box.

Put socks on the arm rests. I do this on big rig tractors that i drive when they get nasty. Work great.

At 1:10, I see a drip fall down. Is this due to just washing?????

I purchased a new Mahindra in Dec 2019 and love the tractor. However, I regret purchasing from the dealer. In late 2020 the dealer dropped the Mahindra line and brought in Bad Boy tractors to compliment their Massey Ferguson line. My last visit I asked if they still serviced Mahindra? They told me they would not touch them.

Take the fuel cut off out of the tank and cut the strainer off. They will stop up and you don't need it.

I have a Mahindra 26xl and you have to take half the tractor apart just to check the oil. Not the best design.

Thanks dost yougs to Bharat trakter

2 year Bumper to Bumper warranty, guess the Bucket and everything beyond the front bumper isn't covered. 😥😥😥

www.tractorbynet.com is one of the largest/most active forums on the web. They have two sections devoted to Mahindra (one for buying, one for owning). There are many other sections that also apply for Mahindra owners. Very knowledgeable folk there. As with all forums, there are trolls to deal with, but it is a great place for info.

Elvis owned an International 300 and a John Deere 4010. What would the King buy today?

Just purchased a new Mahindra 6075 w/cab and loader on 1/28/20 and i really hope i made the right choice ... i have heard the dealer plays a big part in/on the tractors warranty issues if any that may arize .... Great Dealership on sells i have to say good folks in Moultrie Ga..Seemed to have a really good Service dept as well..those two keys go hand n hand ..if your lacking on the later. Harmful comments are posted and sells decline. At this point i really feel good about my new tractor. 1.75 hrs so far. And hope to not need the service dept for a $43000 long while ..i have a Mahindra 2615 purchased new in 2006 and its been a really Great little tractor needing the service dept only one time to replace the radiator due to a leak in 2018 after miles of mowed food plots and old roads..so far so good ..Hoping to only report Good News .. Thanks, Oconee

A friend of mine id a trouble shooter for new Mahindras at a DISTRIBUTOR.... Says he'd never buy one. All I needed to know.

I've Got an Emax22. I bought it to do small jobs on a construction site. I am EXTREEMLY disappointed with the machine. For starters, there is no Harmonic Balancer on the Three cylinder engine. EVERY SINGLE plastic component on the tractor has broken from its mounts due to excessive vibration. The electrical system was run as an after thought with wires being pinched between frame parts and add on's. I have had no less than five direct shorts to ground from the vibration. Twice the tractor wiring started smoking and it was only quick thinking that prevented it from burning up. ( My Bad, should have let it go). Gear Box rebuilt once by Mahindra because the shift would not engage. (Bad Gear set). Blown Wheel seals and I'm just not going into the Hydraulics. Took it to the Mahindra dealer many times, They repaired the electrical issues while it was under its 24month warranty period. Since then, it's been "we know its a bad design, and it sucks to be you". Implements are too light in construction for the tractor. The bucket is simply something for your kids Tonka toy. Mahindra says I'm too hard on it? Their opinion is the machine was designed for a small Horse farm and about the only think its suitable for is loading horse and chicken S%#t. There, I've vented. Now I'm going to go buy a 1972 Massy 135.

Mahindra da largest tractor manufacturer in da world

We just bought this 65 acres and I am shopping for a tractor. I really like the 4540 but I'm seeing some owners are having a range of mechanical issues. Are you having fuel line, oil leaks, loose hardware or any mechanical issues?

Buy one of you don't mind having a pink tractor in a few years. And I mean Mary Kay pink!

Where is it made . And yes it makes a difference. But that's just me. 😒🤔

I asked to join the Mahindra owners USA group answerd the questions but the admin must have denied me and blocked me because I can't even find the group now.

I miss my kabota, the mahindra just isnt as nice smooth powerful and it never broke

Is it American Made? 🇺🇸

I've had nothing but problems with mine .buy a kubota trust me

We here use John deere u there use mahindra , what a conincidence 😝

Most of All! Under NO Circumstances, whatsoever, Don't Buy No Ugly Tractor!!!😛

Still gotta have my green power

Not only NO...but HELL NO! I bought one and have had nothing but Trouble. Its Broke more than it Operates. And I put about the Wimpiest Use on it than you'll Ever Witness. P.O.S!
