Hi all,
It has been a busy year for me as I am sure it has been all of you as well.
As some of you will recall I bought a new Mahindra 4550 on Oct 31 last year (4x4, FEL, brush claw and medium duty rotary cutter) and it has seen some pretty heavy use non-tillage. Mostly been using it for brush cutting reclaiming/cleaning up on my parents place in Ark and other farm properties that I get to play/hunt on. Pretty good amount of loader work and general tractor related work.
It has about 90 hours on it after one year. I know this is not a lot but for me it has been fairly busy considering the weather and other factors.
Well after one year and 90 hours of what I consider fairly heavy use it has held up well. Other than regular servicing the only issue that it has had was after a really dusty day brush cutting the check engine light came on. Hauled it to the dealer and they found some dust under a sensor.
Overall I have been happy with the tractor and related equipment. Thought I would share my experience so far.
Hope to start working on my Dad's old MF 135 diesel in the spring to get it back up in shape. got it running but have some fuel leaks and other items that need addressed pretty bad. Hope to put a power steering unit on it also but we'll see.
Thanks for all the info you guys share here I do learn a lot.
