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.
👍
my old 1965 case has a shuttle- you're going to love 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.
Yes you're definitely right about them being a beast. I have a video of me pulling a subsoiler to bury cable and I had the tractor in low range and 1st gear idling and I didn't even know it was back there. I'm very happy with the tractor so far.
I went back and watched that one again. Nice video. That looks like NC. Anywhere close?
Zaappp !!! I live in east Texas
I really enjoy your review. You don't talk down any other brand. And it looks like you really enjoy your machine.
Thanks, yeah all tractors are good but it all depends on what you can afford. Mahindra make good heavy duty tractors for the money.
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.
Yep you'll love the shuttle drive. Back and forth quickly, even when you're still moving and the 5555 is a beast too.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading After the first of the year the 4550 will be going bye bye for a 5555. if I can work a deal with my friends at Pineco Tractors in Kerens Texas.
I just hope the trade in value doesn't scare me away from trading in a tractor that has less than 100 hours on it.
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.
Yeah that would be a long trip if you had to bring it to the dealer but that's something you'll have to figure out. My dealer is about a half hour away so that's not too bad. But remember that the warranty is only as good as the dealer.
Yes this video did sway me to buy this exact tractor. I’m picking my up next weekend. Thank you.
awesome 👍
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!
Congratulations on your new tractor, it's a beast. Glad the video helped you out on your decision and have e blessed new year too.
Great Review !!! Thanks for taking the time to explain all the ins and outs of your tractor.
Thank you and you're very welcome
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.
Thanks, I'm glad you like the review. Mahindra made it easier to clean the front radiator grill. Here's the video I made about it. th-cam.com/video/TRgZ00wuq5U/w-d-xo.html
@@petebeasttexashomesteading This will sound funny but try using RainX on the Radiator after you clean it well the dirt will not stick as much and will clean off far faster.
Pete, I found a dealer an hour away. I'm going to check them out. Thanks for the information. God bless. Mark.
Mark McCoy That's awesome, I hope it works out for you. 👍
Mahindra Tractors are Heavy Lifters & They are very Rugged & gives very long life with Very Very Low Maintenance ..
GK I agree 👍
BULLSHIT. THIS COMPANY'S EQUIPMENT IS GARBAGE. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.
GK I remember back in the 1960’s when people called Toyota’s junks and ain’t worth Gaga and they were all garbage and a waste of money, that they never could compete against GM, Ford, and Chrysler, now they the number 1 auto company in the world. People realized that they were a better product than the big name companies overpriced cars that were made with less quality parts that broke down more often.
@@geezboil some tractors of same model goes wrong.. that's the margin of error..same thing happens for Royal Enfield in India..in a batch a number of them will have problems... because both these are hand made
Nice tractor proud for india India's most popular tractor
Shyam Ugalmugale Thank you
in india most popular tractor is escort(josh, powertrac, farmTrack), not mahindra
Evry 1 miniute mahindra sold 7 tractor
Me thinks Mr. Pete likes shifting those gears 😎. Nice detailed review. Maybe you can show it under heavy load / usage if you encounter it?
Yes I do like shifting when I need to :) I will do a video under heavy load when I get the opportunity. Thank you
Wow, I got my tractor from the same dealership!
One of my favorite Pete B videos.
More videos of this 5555 please!
I will soon, thanks
Matthew DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND YOU WILL REGRET IT.
@@robertrobinson6785 and where is the videos on your tractor of choice????
Wow it's a beast.
Some 80 year old: _You know what really grinds my gears?_
Pete: _Non-synchronized transmissions!_
🙂👍
Mahindra is an awesome tractor! Great video!
never dissaps , its made in india (build with love)
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.
I just replied to your last comment about my 4550 and sent you a link to this video, I guess you beat me to the video 🙂
Congratulations on the new tractor. I need to get a new one, but a smaller tractor.
Thank you, You should check out Mahindra's emax, 1500, 2500 and 3500 series tractors.
There is 1533 hst
Is this tractor way bigger or is it the angle of camera. Looks awesome.
Jorge Serna Thanks, yes it is bigger then the 4550 and heavier.
It's the 5555, it's very big
Thanks for the review. No need to respond to my earlier request for update video for the 4550. THank you
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
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
Yep just checked out your video. Nice tractor and that grapple claw is nice too.
Great review! Thanks
john williams Thank you
i am gonna have it
Sandhu Bhupinder 👍
Thank you very much for Sharing , Great Video, Great Information,
Frank R Thank you
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.
russell rogers Yes I'm very happy with the tractor. Mahindras are heavier and will out lift any tractor in its class which is nice to know when you need the extra power and weight. I've heard many stories that Mahindras warranties suck. But your warranty is only as good as your dealer, and that applies to any manufacture.
Please make a video of working tractor with implements in field
GREAT REVIEW THANKS FOR THE SHOUT OUT.
Hey Michael, Glad you liked the review. I waited a few months to review it so I was sure I liked the tractor. Going to be changing the oil and filter soon, have 46 hours on it now. Might stop in to look at a shade canopy.
Nice video. I've been looking at that series. I'm glad that isn't my trailer. Thanks.
Thank you
ok Nancy, ok wax your wagon now.
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"
That's great that you found the tractor that works for you. The Branson 3725 is a much smaller and lighter tractor with about 37 HP then the Mahindra 5555. It's all about what will work for you and your pocket book.
Brian G That Mahindra outweighs your tractor anywhere from minimum of 1500lbs to over a ton, your tractor doesn’t outweigh mine I have 4035 and it weighs 4800 lbs without the loader add the loader 1200lbs equals over 3 tons your tractor weighs 4100lbs, more weight equals more work.
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!
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.
👍
That’s only on a hydro.
makes you fat and lazy.
great thanks,,
Thank you
Tough tractor
👍
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
No problems with mine and I use it a lot on my property. I recently used it to install my solar panel ground mount system.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading Thank you for the reply,
I researched the 5555 extensively on the various tractor forums and so far nobody has anything bad to say about them.
When my 4550 got locked up in reverse after only 80 hours on it I threw in the towel and traded it in for a 5555.
Hopefully I'll get a lot more hours on it than the 4550 before something fails.
Congratulations
👍
Just by looking at the difference in the two tractors I think you did the right thing.
Thanks, Yeah this tractor is much more heavy duty then my 4550.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading Yes very nice ! Looks like a tank.
What size in the Mahindra tractor to a John Deere 3033r or 3320 ?
The John deer 3303r is a compact tractor and the Mahindra 5555 is not so it about twice the size. Here are the specifications on the 5555: mahindrausa.com/sites/default/files/tractor/pdf/24084%20MAH545500%205500%20Ser%20Bro%20082417_1.pdf
@@petebeasttexashomesteading Oh yes I realize the 5555 is 3 times as big but it would be way to big for what I'm doing but I love the looks of the 5555.
I was asking what Mahindra is the size of a 3033r. I like the red better than the green also
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.
All the levers will be like second nature to you soon 👍
Does it take DEF and do a REGEN cycle or reburn exhaust?
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!
I've noticed that the 5555 front axle is much bigger then the one in my 4550. But in reality I'll never be lifting anything that heavy with my new tractor. Thank you for watching.
Compare it with Kubota's price.
mrfender only thing I can say, if that axle can’t support the lifting capacity and someone gets hurt, they just won the lotto. Because a lawyer will tear the ass up in court of law, they will be fighting each other for the case.
Nice, hope you get good service from it.
John Reichert Thank you
And TH-cam is an American brand 🤣🤣🤣
Mahindra is indan tracktar best forom indan...Nice riveo
Sumit Waghmare Thank you
Why u need to say it again Nd again just imagine if every American start saying that TH-cam is made by America on every single comment Nd vedio don't you think it will be very annoying?
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.
For what I do here on my property, I just use the foot throttle but 2100 RPMs seems a bit high and you might get a lot of clutch wear.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading OK, thank you for the help.
Thats a lot of RPMs there. Ive never really has to idle up for anything loader wise. Little dofferent when dealing with 2500lbs as it take a little encouragement, but its never that high in the RPMs.
@@brandoncaldwell95 Thank you. I have been running my loader a lot and like you say most of the time I don't need to rev it up. I do run it high when picking up large rocks or logs. and then once it's lifted I can taper off the throttle.
Which tractor is a better brand, Mahindra or Branson????
Nice AMX
Thank you my friend 👍
Our 5555 doesn't show much water temp on the gauge. Looks like yours is the same. I wonder if it has a thermostat?
No it's just has a really good cooling system. I had tall grass seeds clog up the radiator once when I was mowing my field and the temp gauge went up to hot.
Wow, nice rig, man!
Is your steering wheel mounted upside-down? It looks like the spokes are upside-down.
Thanks, the tractor has hydraulic steering and ends up in a different position every time you shut in down and start it up.
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?
The F 250 should not have any problems pulling it. The tractor is roughly 7000lbs and my trailer is about 2000lbs. I pulled my 4550 with my 1500 Ram 1/2 ton pick up and it was a little rough but made it home safely. Make sure the tractor is on correctly with some of the weight on the front of the trailer to keep it from fish tailing and give yourself plenty of room to slow down when pulling it and drive much slower then normal of course.
Try geo fibric. That looked small for riprap.
I meant to ask earlier, did you have any damage or high water from Harvey? What a mess.
Fred Flinstone No, no damage or high water here. We just got five straight days of rain. I have some rental properties in Houston and they were not affected by the storm but I know a few people there that were flooded out. Thank you for asking.
What about the trade-in value
You did not mention DEF or not? Kind of a big deal with folks now days. Thanks
Yeah I should of mentioned that it doesn't use DEF
Good👍
Thank you
WHY , is the "Mahindra" name UPside down on the steering wheel ?
The steering on the tractor is hydraulic so when the tractor is off the steering wheel turns freely.
WHAT??? You're kidding right?
What was the cost difference in 4550 vs 5555?
At that time I think it was about $5,000 or $6,000 more for the 5555
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?
The knocking noise is probably because the diesel was cold and not warmed up. The 4550 was a great tractor just didn't like the non synchronized trans. The 5555 is a beast and more then enough tractor for me on my property. It's very dependable and has lots of power. You get a lot of tractor for the money compared to other brands.
So you haven't had any problems with leaks? I was looking at a 3550 but I have read so much crap kind of scared me away. Your tractor is too big for me - I just have 2 1/2 acres of grass to plug and see along with scraping driveways, but then you also hear people who get smaller tractors complain that they should have gotten bigger. Only thing is too big of a tractor will mess the yard up.
How is the Mahindra holding after two years?
It's holding up great. I haven't had any issues with it.
Is it a manual or automatic transmission
Manual but synchronized gears in the transmission like a manual trans on a car.
No ramps in Texas?
Hi Pete did you price this tractor with the mahindra 75 B backhoe with the thumb
I only bought the tractor and they threw in the pallet forks, I later looked into getting the 75 B backhoe but they want around $11,000 for it. I ended up buying a cheap Chinese backhoe for around $3500 because I don't use one that often.
thanks for the info I have a John Deere 1996 870 4X4 with abt 400 hrs I like the one you have
Wow only 400 hours, that's great. The 5500 series 4x4 are pretty heavy duty. I have about 180 hours on mine and I'm happy with it so far.
thanks Pete for the reply I also have a 650 john deere 4X4 with 900 hrs also a 225 245 and 2- 110's ande a bolens 1886
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.
Mahendra 5555 price indian rupees ....plesss tel me sir
About 2266379.00 rupees
Only bad thing is when you want to add rear hook ups. About 2K for those, which is a ripoff.
Isn’t it a cross between Mitsubishi and Kioti.
No, Mahindra bought out International harvester many years ago and built around that.
@@petebeasttexashomesteading so it’s not so good.
I thought Mahindra sells in India only 🤔.
Also I didn't see these models in india
Meant for big farms..
Mahindra is international. The only thing sold in the US are tractors and the Roxor(Thar) as a sibe by side. Also, theres a few actual Side by sides that are mahindra. Good strong tractors, just the parts department needs help. Takes a while to get things
Nice tractor, but the guy delivering it really needs to learn the proper way to load a trailer.... wayyy to much toung weight.
That's probably a $60,000 tractor now
hows that mahindra
Awesome, plenty of power for doing work on my property.
How much HP
55 hp 3 cylinder, turbocharged, direct injection.
Mahindra usuly has it in the number sequence. 5500 series, 55 hp =5555. 6575 is 6500 series 75hp. HST is HydroStatic Transmission. PST is Power Shuttle Transmission. Mahindra is pretty good on labeling their equipment compared to others ive come across.
4035 mahindra specs
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
You look so small on that huge tractor
It's a big tractor, I'm 6.0 feet tall.
Wow, not only big, but heavy duty also, not to many other tractors can complete with them in the same 55 HP size, they not built the same
get a john deere because you dont need to get of the tractor but you have to undo the highdrolics that s it
Nobody talking about that drivers poor trailer? Lol
And the 1/2 ton truck 🙂
Pete B. I didn’t see it was a 1/2 ton. Dang! And I was running the numbers thinking my 95 single cab F350 dually wasn’t enough truck to pull it 😂😂.
I love my 5555, I had a 2005 4320 JD cabbed tractor before and wouldn’t go back for nothing.

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.
John Deere tractors are made in India!!!
NOW DRIVE INTO A FIELD WHILE YOU CAN AND LEAVE IT THERE THAT'S ABOUT ALL IT'S GOOD FOR.
I put over 300hrs without issue. Friends put 1500hrs on theirs without issue. We bought a new one as we needed bigger and still zero issues. Go beat your skull in will you?
bend over and let us all drive.
