I have had my Mahindra 4540 for 8 years. Zero issues, an absolute tank that has been used and abused.
Thanks for sharing
I am from India
I have Mahindra 605 tractor 10 year old without issue
In Africa many people buying mahindra tractor .
I got the 5145, 45hp. Its such a beast compared to any other brand. Its built heavy duty, big industrial tires, just a great tractor i got for 28k.
Sounds like a great deal. Thanks for sharing
Mahindra sells a solid product for sure. What tractors or components they don't manufacture themselves come from TYM... so it is really hard to go wrong with Mahindra. One of the reasons why the RK55 from Rural King is high on, if not on top of, my list of likely candidates for my next tractor is that it's a TYM tractor with a Yanmar engine and just loaded with standard features. For considerably less than a similarly equipped TYM... Great info Brock - thanks for sharing! 🤠
I’d take the TYM engine over just about anything now. It’s a Cummins A series industrial engine and they are about bulletproof. Cummins partnered with Kukje to develop and produce that engine and Kukje got the rights to sell it under its own brand as well. Kukje was purchased by TYM several years ago and started implementing the Kukje power plant into their tractors. Now the Kukje name is retired and the engines are branded TYM A1700 or A2300.
@@EOTG_AK Thank you for the info. I did not know that, and now I'm a little smarter! Gonna have to do some readin' up on the subject lol. 🤠
@@EOTG_AK But you're missing the point. The Mahindra CRD has no DPF. All others over 25hp do.
This is the reason I like your channel, your not in anyone's back pocket!
After 8 years I have experienced my first real problem with Mahindra. The starter gave up on me. My only gripe is parts availability and dealership gouging. The tractor has given no indication of any other shortcoming. This tractor outperforms any other tractor in its class.
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you made a wise purchase.
Amen on gouging...I could be off few hundred dollars but just saw one of these in Clarksville granted with backhoe for $41000.00.thats crazy.
👍🏻 AWESOME! Glad to see Mahindra.
Love my Mahindra 1640!
I have spent some time on my uncles 2018 Mahindra 1533 shuttle. I believe it’s the same tractor with less horsepower. I actually built some pallet forks for it last week and did some maintenance on it. That’s certainly a stout tractor. He and I got on both ends of a 3000 pound table and moved it with our tractors a while back. I have the 3038E with 500 pound wheel weights and 1000 pounds hanging off the back. He only had a tiller on the back and my tractor actually did better than I expected. I built an 85 pound loader lifting tool just for that project though so that helped me too. He was lifting with his bucket.
Great video Brock. I think most of today's tractor brands are built well. Maintenance and local dealer support are huge factors for all buyers. The only thing that I saw on that Mahindra was the fuel tank fill location, not a fan.
Sounds right
Just bought a Mahindra in September and absolutely love it . $7000 dollars less than the comparable John Deere because I didn’t have to cover the cost of Deeres fat cat Union contracts .
I had something get in my Mahindra max24 and eat the wires under the dash cluster repaired it myself and no other problems. Great little tractor. Wish I still had it.
Looks like you had one stick that wanted to poke into the tractor.
You're outdoing yourself with the variety these days! Keep it up!
Thanks
I have a Branson (now TYM ) 4820 with a full heated/cooled cab and backhoe which is pretty comparable to a 4 series Deere (less than 2” shorter but about 600lbs heavier). It is absurd how much cheaper this tractor was vs even a 3 series.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks very much. Really liked the detail description of the differences in the Mahindra package vs the John Deer package.
My Mahindra dealer has been stellar and has addressed all of my issues as they arose. I think Mahindra has a few more quirks than Kubotas, but they’re still good. Parts are pricey though
Hey Brock!! Glad to see you on a red tractor. If you ever wanna come do a video on a TYM, your always welcome in west TN!!!
That's an outstanding deal, that tractor with loader goes for 27k right now. His implements alone are probably another 10k and the trailer he got is probably another 10k, so about 47-50k these days. I bought my eMax 20s hst, with loader, hoe, snowblower, and snowcab for 27k two years ago and thought I got a good deal! Anywhose, there's a lot of value in buying a non green or orange tractor if you have good dealer support. I once heard someone say(a Kubota owner) that pound for pound they wouldn't want to get into a lifting competition with a Mahindra tractor
He did get a great deal and inflation is crazy right now
It is kind of a cheap trailer. Maybe worth 4k imo
Thanks for watching
The tractor we bought 2.5 years ago now lists for $10k more, a 25% increase. Its hard to compare the grey brands with old pricing. The compact nh and jd machines are 3rd world built, same as the grey brands. Our reasoning for sticking with a name brand was parts and dealer support, but covid made parts unobtainable for even nh.
That is false unless you consider the state of Georgia as a third world country. NH compacts are made by LS in South Korea which is not a third world country.
@Alexandre Plante You have to be careful from model to model. We have a 25hp open station Ls, an s3010 it has been a good tractor for the money we paid for it. Reverse gear rides on skateboard sized bearings at the top of transmission. If you dont overfill the trans, reverse gear can run dry. Atleast there is an access plate so you dont have to split the tractor to put new bearing in. A buddies mahindra(made suspiciously similar) had the same issue. The frontend on it had a plastic breather that allowed water into front axle. All gears are spur cut and will drive you nuts raking and teddering. But it has a mitsubishi motor, that coupled with the $12,000 price that sold us on it. We would not purchase another one at the current prices. We would go straight to Kubota.
@@ricksanchez7459 A tractor can be made in a developed country and show inadequate engineering or poor craftsmanship. It's simply false to say that John Deere and New Holland tractors are made in third world countries.
@Alexandre Plante It's a figure of speech for countries not known for their manufacturing prowess, but most people can figure out that's what I meant. Order parts for most of those budget machines, they will say a country that rhymes with PRC or worse. Turkey isn't known to be a great manufacturer and thats where the majority of parts for the workmaster series are made. Some parts are german and italian on it. It is a budget machine, we would not buy another at current pricing.
Great video Brock. A good friend of mine has (I believe) a 38hp Mahindra and loves it; all though now he wishes he bought it with a cab. At 78 years old he can't tolerate the cold these days. He settled on Mahindra due to price and the "no regen" aspect. I know in my comment to your Summit video it may have seemed like I am not a JD fan these days but that is not true. I still believe that JD, Kubota and Yanmar would be my short list of good tractors (and companies - New Holland also). In my other post I simply tried to explain my view that over a few decades that a company's corporate philosophy, parts and materials sourcing and other business decisions will change over time and that is due to money and stockholders expectations on returns. Having said that I do believe there are several good quality tractor brands out there today besides my top three (Mahindra, TYM, RK - possibly LS, Branson, Kioti and others, maybe Summit). Obviously in a purchasing decision you have to factor in the dealer/service network, company longevity and parts availability. Mahindra has been around a ling time and I believe pretty solid.
Yeah, I still like John Deere. I was really intrigued by Yanmar
It’s also really tempting to save a lot of money on a tractor purchase with one of these less expensive brands.
I think the better these newer, smaller companies do the more pressure it puts on the big brand
For these videos I try to just cover the positives and a little bit of the negatives to have a good conversation about it. I also like it when I can get someone who has ran the machine for a long time to give their thoughts on it as opposed to me after one use
Well said Brock. And I think you do a very good job presenting different options in the market for different products no matter what the product being featured is. By the way, I grew up on my best friends farm using John Deeres and on my grandfather's farm using Farmall/International.
This Mahindra DOES have a DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst) & a continuous DPF ( diesel particulat filter) & common high pressure fuel injection computer controlled = no paticulate burn-off interruptions, BECAUSE its Continuous. The CRD "system" saves fuel, meets EPA requirements,& is Quiet. The "DEF" fluids don't even have be to "discussed" for ANY tractor under 70 horsepower ,because it doesn't "Exist " for Compact Tractors! The 25-26 hp( & under) units use the 1970's style of "diesel-lating" technology of Clanging-banging, belching smoke,& guzzling fuel. Its a good experience to experience "other" tractors.Thank you for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Looks like a good tractor. I recently bought a Massey Ferguson GC1723e. I wanted a Deere and would have paid the premium for a Deere but the local dealers were bought up by a corporation and the service has gone to he... I have a 1996 425 all wheel steering garden tractor that my wife loves. A 3 month ordeal, with them breaking the tractor twice, has really soured me on buying a Deere. Luckily I have a local Kubota/Massey dealer that is still family owned and has a great reputation for service after sale. Love my little Massey.
Thanks for sharing
John Deere compact tractors are I think Yammar rebranded
@01abihsot they are not. They used to be made by yanmar. Now they just have a yanmar engine
I am a large scale farmer rancher for many years. Got the chance to use a 50 hp Manhindra for approx 40 hrs brush cutting with a bushhog type mower, pounding posts,
alot of different stuffand hauling manure and dirt with the fel. The more I used it, the more impressed I became.
Only negative I could see was the badly faded paint for that new of a tractor.
They turn kind of pink
they are well priced also
wr long third function kit about a thousand bucks ,took about 2 hours to put on my 3016 mahindra, that is a 2013, and still running like a champ 2024
Informative video. love my 1635 hst, get the cab yall, you won't be sorry.
Dealer support is one of the big things for us. Kubota and John Deere are really the only 2 around here that I know of. The other thing is what is available for the tractors like a front snow blower, cabs, front snowplows that doesn't go on a loader frame. It is not what is the best but what someone can afford or what works for them.
So true, So Strue.
I'm pretty much sold on older green ( JD ) and blue ( NH ) and have looked at Mahindra which btw is the largest tractor dealor in the world . If I bought anything else new or used, it would be orange as in a Kubota ;) that would be beat any tractor on the market in my state for parts, dealers location and they make a damm good product.
Mahindra dealers pretty sucks in my area. Mosts have back orders on parts and the dealer really do not want to deal with you if you do not want to buy their package-deal.
I'll give you a example, I have Mahindra dealer 19miles away from me. They took almost 3 weeks to draft me a quote for a 4wd 1640. Yes sir 3 weeks because I didn't want to buy their stupid package and then nearly quote as much as the pkg ( I have a fleet of attachments and do not need a trailer fwiw ) WTF. They made me test drive the damm thing like for every to convince me I need it and with all of the cheap put together attachments.
We looked at that tractor for a few things btw, it was one of the near 40hp non-Turbo 4x4 tractor that weighs in under 4k with no DPE or DEF or other expensive things to deal with.
With that said, everybody that I knows has Mahindra has nad no issue except one person and it was the split and leaking plastic tank that took 4 months to get the parts in and he end up going out of pocket since he couldn't wait and got a used tank from Billy Tractor in Adkins TX. Again we both live near a Mahindra dealer that's less than 20miles away. That's just sad all the way around.
Give me a Kubota any day of the week and I have 4 kudota delaer between 25-60 miles away. Almost everything in my rural area is painted with Orange. Me and my neighbor across the way have NewHolland and she also has a Orange ;)
Mahindra IMHO are good for 1st time buyers who do not know or never had a tractor. The package are enticing for those types who has a truck with a hitch and drawbar ;)
If you weren't wearing the seat belt, you were correct to have the ROPS folded down. ;-)
Take care and God Bless.
Definitely get a grapple bucket! Love mine
Definitely
I was telling him that it doesn’t have to be as costly as you think. Premium grapples are high dollar but you could add third function and get the add a grapple for the bucket for $1500 roughly
Thanks to Mike for letting our buddy drop in!!
New Holland extended their warranty in India, but only India. 6 years 6000hrs. I would bet this is to better compete with Mahindra in their home turf. We could have used that extension as we had trouble 6 days out of warranty.
That sucks
Doesn't suck as bad as your buddy whose wheel fell off. We noticed our planetary hub was wet before the wheel fell completely off. Still cost $900 out of pocket and another 2200 for a backup hub incase it happens again while haying.
I have an emax 22 love the thing...
Lots of power.
Hydro transmission is the way to go ❤❤
Good video. Always good to review other brands and models. What tool works best for you is what matters is how I think.
Yes sir
@@RockhillfarmYT Like you I like the green, but I am always very interested in the other brands. The lower brands have some cool stuff happening.
Another awesome video. I think if I knew about mahindra no DPF engine before I purchased my tractor I might have made a different decision. Amazing machine. The biggest issue I see is the fuel fill up location (top of the hood and too far forward). Not a problem if you are pumping from a pump but it’s got to be a pain to fill with 5gal jug. What do you think?
From experience having two mahindra's with the fill in that location it sucks. i use a big funnel with screen and still have issues with splashing. the no def is definitely a plus. I have no complaints with either of my two tractors
Looks like a fine machine!
Having been a Mahindra owner my experience with service is that……. It was truly terrible with my dealer. I had a warranty issue that took them 9 months to resolve…. The whole time I had NO TRACTOR to use.
That would be so frustrating. I have this thing to use it. Seven months is a long time.
One trend I’m noticing is that most people say that about getting support from their brand. I’ve heard it about several different manufactures.
Yes service with the newer brands is an issue. The best is service is by far John Deere, Case/NH and AGCO which is Massey. They’ve all been in the market longer that anyone else. I actually had an AGCO regional factory Rep call to discuss a minor sensor issue I was having on my newly purchased Massey 5711 Dyna 4 tractor and my Massey dealer gave me all their cell numbers to call if I had any issues on weekends. I believe your dealer is everything when the equipment is of the best quality as with the big three above.
I was under the impression a shuttle shift relates to the Forward, Neutral, Reverse on the shift steering kolumn. Would you explain how that works with HST/ treadle pedal?
yeah, that is what he called it, but this didn’t operate anything like I thought it would when he said shuttle shift.
It 100% felt like a three range hydrostat.
it only had a low, medium and high, nothing to push or shift to go from forward to reverse.
You only have to push the clutch when shifting from low, neutral, medium, high.  it was basically a hydrostat with a clutch from an operator perspective.
The model numbers from Mahendra either have HST or SST. I think they call it a shuttle shift but not real sure
@@RockhillfarmYT
That's a trip. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I operate an older Kubota L2900 with s shuttle shift. So it was kinda intriguing to hear the term applied to this traktor in your if. Anyway, i love your cganbel man. Thanks for the reply. Happy new year.
@@RockhillfarmYT Brock glad to hear this Explanation. I was "Flaber-gasketed" to hear of a "treadal-pedal" ( hydrostatic) & "shuttle shift " on the SAME TRACTOR. Does this guy even "know his tractor"? As ALWAYS it is best to be throughly "Versed" with the "Operating systems " from the "Operator's Manuals " , instead of just "gunning & running" IT. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours. Just "out of the blue" was checking these tractors out tonight after werk. I like them *( a little) but think their loaders have a low "build quality"( NO AMPLIFYING CURL LINKAGES)-- just CAN'T live without this feature as 2 of my rigs have IT!!
This isn't a shuttle shift model. It's an HST (hydrostatic). SSTs are gear driven and have a shuttle shift lever on the left side of the steering column for shifting F-N-R, and a 2-speed range select with 4 gears on the left fenderwell.
Appreciate this video, i was looking at a Mahindra. Also appreciate you traveling to keep your content more relevant great videos. Keep it up.
Real men like tractors. Boys have toys men have tractors. Well at least that's my opinion any way. Nice tractor. Very strong I'm many ways, reminds me much of the old MF 35. Also a great tractor
I am pretty sure my brother just picked up this same tractor to do work on his property. I haven’t seen it yet though.
I love my Mahindra. BUT! I now have no dealer within 200 miles of me. The company has realigned dealers and has no one close to us anymore.
That’s a bummer. Hopefully you don’t need service very often.
I could see myself buying one of these.not too big not too small.goldilocks porridge time.
How is it a shuttle shift and also a treadle pedal(hst)?
yeah, that is what he called it, but this didn’t operate anything like I thought it would when he said shuttle shift.
It 100% felt like a three range hydrostat.
it only had a low, medium and high, nothing to push or shift to go from forward to reverse.
You only have to push the clutch when shifting from low, neutral, medium, high.  it was basically a hydrostat with a clutch from an operator perspective.
Hey Brock, what is the average price and are they reliable?
Price was an appeal here when this tractor is under $25,000 for something that big. Reliability is anecdotal. One person might love it and the next hate it with anything
This tractor has 250 hours on it and has had no problems.
@@RockhillfarmYT Oh yea; no problems=== its just a "Baby" & barely "broken - in". I wil be a "Good Tractor" when it racks up 2000- 4000 hours!.
Mahindra is largest selling tractor brand in the world , also biggest suv manufacturer in india with adas feature like automatic braking , lane assist etc ...they also makes truck , buses etc😄😄
Brock , I enjoy your videos buddy !
Thanks
Mahendra is ranked number one in the world. John Deere is second and there’s quite a few other brands too but the roll after those two.
check out the TYM t474 cab tractor. you can also get a package deal. 48.3 HP
I test drove one in a collaboration with Tonys Tractor adventure TH-cam channel. Nice machine although his was open station.
I think that’s also the same model Daniel Arms had when I recorded with him and it was a cab machine. We were running the flail mower on it
I want to know the name of the dealership where you bought this Mahindra in what state? Also, did you buy this?
We presented all the information I have at the start of the video. That’s not my tractor. It was purchased by the other guy in the video at a local dealership in Kansas.
The prices would no longer be accurate because it was purchased several years ago
@@RockhillfarmYT Thanks
For the emissions It still has a doc Diesel Oxidation Catalysts and they still cause problems and go bad
I like my 2638 Mahindra and it’s made by TYM
Thanks for sharing. I knew some of the smaller Mahindra were made by TYM
This is a "Class-act" not so small tractor & can "beat to death" JD 2038R ALL DAY & All YEARS LONG, because its a 3800lb (raw tractor) built ( rebadged) by TYM.
I was quoted higher prices than the expensive orange ones.
I'm not sure how I'd feel operating these compact tractors, I'm used to 60+ horsepower. My riding lawnmower is 26 HP!
54,000 for your set up. I couldn't spend that much for that.
I hear you. To be fair for that price I got the trailer and about six attachments, including the backhoe.
I still think it might be over priced but the 2038 hour I showed a couple weeks ago was 74,000 for the full package. Crazy, huh?
I looked at them but I hate that pedal design and for a few other reason I went with a Branson
I have never seen an advantage to the pricing of a Mahindra, Branson , Montana tractor. Any time I have priced them out I have just laughed at the salesman. I have seen Branson and Mahindra taken on by car dealerships. Said car dealerships are now out of business and there is zero product support here in southern Montana. A couple years ago I saw some off beat name like the ones above being represented by a Harley dealer. Each time price is too close to a legit tractor such as Case or Deere and the knowledge of car dealers and support is nothing but laughable. In the end its not all about money to me its about can I call someone and get support or parts.
If you have a solid dealer then I guess I would take a look at one of these brands. If your dealer is shaky I would run like hell
I heard they have crappy customer service
It can not be a shuttle shift AND a treadle pedal . White guy please !
Dude That's not a shuttle shift its a Hydro
Not sure what to call it, but Pretty sure Mahindra calls it a shuttle shift, and it has a clutch
Hydro. Clutch is for pto
Just wait till you try the RK55..😂 your Deere will not be happy with you.
I would like to
why did he need 38hp? 25 seems to be fine for most homeowners
Pto attachments and lifting capabilities on front loader or rear. That extra 10hp is huge. 1635HST
JD is as overrated as it is overpriced
