YES I HAVE!!!!!
I bought my 4110 Mahindra in 2004. I took it in for a service to get its first service, and at approx. 15 hours later I lost the engine. Mahindra put a new engine in my tractor at the dealers location but sent their own people to take out the first motor and install the new motor.They told me that the problem was from a new inner seal with the oil filter had backed out during the service thus allowing for the motor to throw the oil and break. I later learned through a rep with Mahindra that the oil filter was only one problem, my tractor had a serial number that was in a series of engine numbers that Mahindra knew had bad main bearings.My tractor continued with problems with the four wheel drive popping out, shorts in the guages and wiring. Batteries replaced, fusses blowing, just about every minor problem that was anoying you could think of. The dealer did his best to correct or repair the problems as they arose and even though I had these problems and the little ones continued I felt I still had a great tractor. Then It happened again in 2005. With less than 100 hours on the second motor it started losing compression, performance and again was found to have internal problems with the main bearing. The dealer pulled the oil pan as directed by Mahindra and it was full of shavings. The dealer was informed not to do anything and they would replace the motor because it was a faulty main bearing. The Mahindra people in texas notified me and explained how they would make me happy, fix my tractor and correct all the problems with my tractor. They delivered the 4110 Mahindra back to my farm in Kentucky in January of this year.At this time I learned that somehow through a minor eror on Mahindra's fault that they (Mahindra) had installed another engine in my tractoe the second time that had the same x series of serial numbers that Mahindra knew had bad , faulty main bearings. Wow, what are the chances that this could happen again. And they still keep saying "we will do whatever it takes to make you happy". It now is just over two years old, is on its third engine and after numerous calls and contacts to Mahindra Tractors in Texas, reps for Mahindra and other people who have had problems with the 10 series tractors it seems that the only thing Mahindra Tractor can do is sale tractors. And according to market checks they have done just that. They have sold alot of tractors. The problem I have had from the first problem is that the dealer did his best to correct what he could or was allowed to and that everyone else either lied to me, put one bad motor after another in my tractor and they have the nerve to tell me that even though this happened not once but twice I should trust Mahindra Tractors and be assured that all is well and that they will continue to make me happy. Well as you can probably see I'm not happy. I don't trust Mahindra or any thing they have told me. The main people in Texas will talk, talk, talk and then they tell a rep. to say all the right things to try and hide a problem they have known for two years existed' I am now planning legal action against these so called Family Business people. I know that someone may find all this a little hard to belive but Its all true. I now have also learned that the Mahindra Dealer near my Eastern Kentucky farm area will no longer be a Mahindra dealer which leaves me and any past of future tractor owner without a dealer in the area to do the work or any service, warranty or other major work. Man what a great tractor and a great company. By the way the four wheel drive that I was told was fine slipted again last week as I moved hay down a slop (as they were told it has and contiues to do) to feed my cattle. Luckely I lowred the front pick just before the tractor rolled over with me on it. Maybe they were made for flat ground only and I wasn't told. Anyway thats the short end of my EXPERIENCE with a Mahindra ....I would like to hear from any one that has had problems similar with the 4110 series or any of the 10 series tractors. I would love to chat with those other poor souls who like me lost an engine in their 4110. Or anyone who has lost their 4 wheel drive while loaded and going up or down a slop or grade. The shifter will not move from the ON position. It slips out while still in gear or in 4 wheel drive and I have to stop move the 4 wheel lever and it will re-engage on its own. There is never any warning and it will only happen when as I said laoded and off a level plain. Kinda of scarry don't you think.Again If any one has had any of these EXPERIENCES pleas contact me / Thanks
