Hello,
I own a Mahindra 7010 which is a rather large tractor with a cab. I have had a number of problems including a number of recalls. My engine was replaced at 300 hours due to a recall. My front tires had to be replaced due to a design flaw which caused them to make contact with the bucket frame and tear them up. The fuel tank has been replaced/repaired 3 times. The mirrors fell out of their encasements while the trator was not in use. It was during the winter and occured during cold weather. Bad door latches, headlights/horn/ swithches are harnessed together and have always blown a fuse as soon as you use them.
Currently, I was told by the rep straight from Mahindra that the tractor does not have 4-wheel drive. Instead, it has 4-wheel assist. This was pointed out to me because I just experience the drive shaft to the front breaking while I was smoothing out gravel on a road. I had simply put the unit in 4-wheel because it had begun to rain and I needed to get through mud that had not had gravel put on it yet. The rep told me that the front-wheel "assist" is not designed to be used while using the bucket. Needless to say, Mahindra has refused to help in the repair the same as other occasions. The problem list goes on but you get my point.
I have several Mahindra dealers in the area. The one I bought the tractor from has decided to sell Bobcat tractors instead. They wanted to charge me around $500. to just pick up and deliver the tractor. So, I went to another dealer and recieved terribler service and poor results. I assure you that the dealer is as important as the brand tractor you purchase.
I truly understand there can and will be equipment problems and I feel like I have had more than the average. However, he major concern to me and what I will look into greater with my next purchase is the dealer and mfg. support when the problems arise.
