My New Mahindra 5555 4x4 Tractor - Review 

I love that someone still makes a heavy, well built SIMPLE tractor. This thing will be found in a field 50 years from now and someone will put in new fuel and a battery and it will run. I'm not confident these expensive plastic tractors will be the same way. People today rebuild old deere tractors, but I don't think the modern ones will be the same story.

Mahindra Tractors are Heavy Lifters & They are very Rugged & gives very long life with Very Very Low Maintenance ..

Is this tractor way bigger or is it the angle of camera. Looks awesome.

Hey buddy nice Tractor. I bought a 33 HP LS Tractor. Absolutely no problems. Hard working machine but I want to bump up to a 50 HP Tractor from 33. My LS was over 6 thousand dollars less than John Deere. My loader lifts 1,650 lbs. A lot more than the Deere. The Mahindra is a beast and I really like it but to be honest I'm afraid to buy one. A dealer is an hour and half away. I would appreciate input from you guys. Thanks. Mark.

More videos of this 5555 please!

Great Review !!! Thanks for taking the time to explain all the ins and outs of your tractor.

Hey Pete I have been watching your videos , well done. I am on the fence myself about buying a Mahindra 2555 with FEL. I was just wanting to know if you are still happy with your choice. It is 30 percent less than the John Deere and Kubota ( that are actually a little smaller) I have looked at. It would just be utility tractor for a small farm. I just have never been around a Mahindra so wanted see if you are still happy.

Pete, Thanks for the excellent work on your channel! My wife and I own and operate Fly Away Farm USA in central Kansas on about 4 acres. We have been using a diesel powered Grillo 110 walk behind tractor gear towards 30 inch raised beds and we love it. We have been needing a good farm utility tractor for all the bigger tasks. We just purchased a 5555! Thank you for info on why you didn’t like the non-synchro transmission, I was about to make that mistake until I saw your vid! We take delivery sometime this week. Keep up the great vids and have a happy and blessed new year!

i am gonna have it

Me thinks Mr. Pete likes shifting those gears 😎. Nice detailed review. Maybe you can show it under heavy load / usage if you encounter it?

I've got a 6530 which is basically the rebadged 5570. You'll find that if you do much high lifting, your right FEL lift arm will stay black with soot from the exhaust. Changing the battery out is a PITA but you only do it once every few years so not that big of a deal. Other than that and a few quirks here and there, it's a beast. I've got a 7 ft HD Mahindra rotary cutter and can usually run through 4 to 5 ft moderately thick grass in 3rd low. Most, if not all, Mahindra's implements are made by Kodiak (Paladin parent company) and are very nicely built which you probably already know. And it pulls an old heavy King Plow Co. 10'6" offset disc harrow with twenty four 22" discs like it's not even there. The weight of these tractors makes them great for heavy work.

Great review Pete. This will be my new tractor. Only problem I have heard of is the radiator collecting dirt and clogging up which makes the tractor run hot. Cleaning was difficult t first but can be worked out. Thanks again for the great review.

Wow it's a beast.

I really enjoy your review. You don't talk down any other brand. And it looks like you really enjoy your machine.

Yes this video did sway me to buy this exact tractor. I’m picking my up next weekend. Thank you.

Some 80 year old: _You know what really grinds my gears?_ Pete: _Non-synchronized transmissions!_

Wow, I got my tractor from the same dealership!

I wish I had watched this video before I bought a 4550. Just like you I'll be trading it in for a 5555. Along with the gear grinding that drives me crazy the 4550 does not have a fully independent PTO. I only have 58 hours of mowing time on it and I still can't get used to the two stage clutch. Cheers from the piney woods of east Texas.

my old 1965 case has a shuttle- you're going to love it

Nice tractor proud for india India's most popular tractor

Another great video about a great piece of equipment. I commented on your 4550. This is a great upgrade. I too am in Texas. I am looking forward to buying and using my new mahindra.

Pete, I found a dealer an hour away. I'm going to check them out. Thanks for the information. God bless. Mark.

Mahindra is an awesome tractor! Great video!

Hello Pete. As I said in an earlier comment to you I traded my 4550 for a 5555 last week. Since I haven't seen any updates from you I was wondering if you have had any problems with your 5555. So far I love mine but would like to know if you have had any problems with yours. Thanks, Duke

Please make a video of working tractor with implements in field

Great review! Thanks

Where is the grapple??? I've got a kubota L275 work it all day on a gallon of fuel... love it but I have to convert it to quick change bucket and I've got to get a grapple!

Didn't notice you mention the planetary front axle upgrade from your old machine. That's worth more than a synchro in my book, especially if you use the lift capacity

Congratulations on the new tractor. I need to get a new one, but a smaller tractor.

One of my favorite Pete B videos.

Great video! I love my Mahindra tractors! I have a 3616HST and just bought a Mpower 85P and it’s a beast. I have a video of me crushing and picking up a Ford Focus with my root grapple on it. Crazy amount of loader power in them both

never dissaps , its made in india (build with love)

Thank you very much for Sharing , Great Video, Great Information,

I just bought one of these. When doing loader work, do you use the hand or foot throttle? I mean... they say you need to keep RPMs at 2100 for loader work, so hand throttle setting seems to make sense but that means you will crawl forward if in gear. My first tractor so I'm not sure of the best way.

That's probably a $60,000 tractor now

Nice tractor, but the guy delivering it really needs to learn the proper way to load a trailer.... wayyy to much toung weight.

Does it take DEF and do a REGEN cycle or reburn exhaust?

Which tractor is a better brand, Mahindra or Branson????

Only bad thing is when you want to add rear hook ups. About 2K for those, which is a ripoff.

Try geo fibric. That looked small for riprap.

GREAT REVIEW THANKS FOR THE SHOUT OUT.

Thanks for the review. No need to respond to my earlier request for update video for the 4550. THank you

great thanks,,

Tough tractor

I purchased a new 2016 Ford F 250 with 6.2 gas engine. Crew Cab. It's supposed to pull 12,000 lbs. With this Tractor and implements and loader, heavy duty trailer, will my truck pull it?

Our 5555 doesn't show much water temp on the gauge. Looks like yours is the same. I wonder if it has a thermostat?

Isn’t it a cross between Mitsubishi and Kioti.

Nice AMX

You did not mention DEF or not? Kind of a big deal with folks now days. Thanks

No ramps in Texas?

Hv

I love theses videos because we get to compare various brands; good and bad. I bought a Branson 3725, just a few differences. The Branson has a larger floor board. Your right foot is exposed as seen in the video, I prefer to have a steel floor under my foot for protection. Your Mahindra is 4 speed x 2, Branson is 4 speed x 3, more gearing options. Same shift on the fly through the gears. :) Same 3 point hitch features. :) I considered an electronic shuttle shift, but decided against it, it's another electronic servo that will fail and then the tractor won't go. I prefer the manual clutch and shifting forward to reverse, BTW, the Branson stops quick enough when depressing the clutch without any brake input that my direction changes are completed in the same time as in your video. Branson uses a hand parking brake like in a car, less complication in design and I think the parking brake knob on the Mahindra could get accidentally released based upon the view in the video. The Branson safety neutral switch is in the column on the forward reverse selector (which I prefer). I would rather not have to shift my hi-lo tranny selector needlessly and excessively causing premature wear in the gears and forks, I wonder why Mahindra makes you move that heavy gear selector in order to start when the F/R selector would be just as easy to design. Compare shipping weights of the tractors and Branson tractor are heavier which means they have more steel and thicker steel throughout. The Branson backhoe digs a full 9' deep, Mahindra's only goes to 7'6"

4035 mahindra specs

Wow, nice rig, man! Is your steering wheel mounted upside-down? It looks like the spokes are upside-down.

Mahendra 5555 price indian rupees ....plesss tel me sir

How is the Mahindra holding after two years?

What was the cost difference in 4550 vs 5555?

What about the trade-in value

I meant to ask earlier, did you have any damage or high water from Harvey? What a mess.

I thought Mahindra sells in India only 🤔. Also I didn't see these models in india

Nice video. I've been looking at that series. I'm glad that isn't my trailer. Thanks.

Nobody talking about that drivers poor trailer? Lol

Hi Pete did you price this tractor with the mahindra 75 B backhoe with the thumb

Is it a manual or automatic transmission

WHY , is the "Mahindra" name UPside down on the steering wheel ?

You look so small on that huge tractor

Congratulations

Hi there! I agree with what you said about the tractor you have can lift more than any others in that same class. But the only problem is the front axle is often not made heavy duty enough to support the lifting capacity of the front end loader hydraulics. Kubota tractors beat mahindra in this aspect of the 2 brands. But other than that. Your tractor is awesome!

Mahindra is indan tracktar best forom indan...Nice riveo

hows that mahindra

Nice, hope you get good service from it.

But non sync transmission is better when it comes to heavy duties. thats why semi trucks use only non sync transmission. Ofcourse it is not easy to use. You need some used to.

Good👍

How much HP

My John Deere has a control on the back to move tractor forward or backwards when hooking up pto attachments. No more getting close get out then get back in to move 2 inches. lol. That was a great selling point for me. Also I can raise or lower pto from back.

Pete have you had any trouble so far? You never know what to believe online but a lot of people complain about Mahindras, but you can read crap about all of them. I noticed that 4550 made a lot of knocking noise?

That PTO engagement looks like a pain. That's a lot of "travel" to engage and disengage.

That operated that delivered the tractor looked like he’d never driven a tractor before

get a john deere because you dont need to get of the tractor but you have to undo the highdrolics that s it

I just bought a 2017 Mahindra 5555, I played with it for an hour or so after getting it home. Loader visibility is a lot worse than my old tractor, I don’t love pallet forks as much now lol. Overall I really like it. The shuttle is a bit more of a dance compared to HST but it’s not bad, loads better than a old gear tractor, foot throttle is similar to HST at times. I did watch your video before hand to know what things do, Mahindra doesn’t have much of a labeling budget hahahaha. Antique tractors are horrible about that, they just have a little metal handles and you just have to know what they all do lol.

Just by looking at the difference in the two tractors I think you did the right thing.

All Mahindra tractors are manufactured overseas, either in India or China. The only two people that Mahindra gives a job to is the salesman and the mechanic that keeps fixing them. Buy American and give your kids or grandkids a job. Buy a John Deere that is made in Augusta, Georgia, John Deere employees thousands of Americans.

NOW DRIVE INTO A FIELD WHILE YOU CAN AND LEAVE IT THERE THAT'S ABOUT ALL IT'S GOOD FOR.
