[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1469307, member: 5412"] I've had my Mahindra 3510 since 2002, with a front loader, 4X4, 35 hp and the industrial tread tires. Have a Howe 72" towed brush hog with hydraulic following wheels, 72" King Kutter rotary tiller, 7' angle blade, 6 1/2' disk, and a Rear scoop. I've had one problem since it was new. Last Sunday, had it at the farm to dig out some dirt from a pond that silted in and dried up. Took the disk to bust up the soil, so it would be bucketed out. I had to go through some 10' tall sunflower stalks, and one of them got up under the cowling, knocking the oil fill plug out of the side of the engine. I spotted oil flying out of the hole, and couldn't find the plug, so had to call it a day. 700 hours on it so far with no problems. BTW, I don't care if it JD, Massey, NH Ford, or whoever. There are currently NO tractors made in the US any more under 100 hp from the information I was given while shopping for mine. I asked each dealer [B]where[/B] the tractors were built. They all said in India, China, Japan, or Taiwan. Some engines (mine) made in S Korea. BTW, Mahindra, is the largest tractor manufacturer in the world, and one of the oldest. They manufactured willis jeeps for US troops during WW II that were serving in the SE part of the pacific battle. Dammed fine tractors in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
