Rim lock in your rear tires is the best thing you can for these tractors. Rim lock is beet juice it weighs 11 lbs a gallon as opposed to water at 8 lbs a gallon. It also biodegrable
Great advice! I work on really flat surfaces and rarely get to overloading the bucket end of things so I have not needed the weight offset yet... But I'll keep that in mind as I'm sure I'll get there eventually
I just hit 300 hours on this and have ZERO regrets! I'd but it again in a heartbeat. Dealer proximity might be a good way to decide on which is best but those decisions are always hard
The two dealers are across the road from each other. So I have that advantage to help negotiating. I was a mechanic for years. So loose nuts and bolts are something of a familiar friend. Check regularly. You won’t have problems.
Yes I did! Red clay gets it's color from iron in the clay that has oxidized causing it to create the rust color that makes the clay red. The same clay that is even deeper in the ground and has not been exposed to oxygen will have iron that has not rusted yet and it presents as blue in color in the clay. It was almost unnatural looking how bright Smurf blue it was but it was just a natural chemical in the clay fe (iron)

I test drove one last week, it was a shuttle shift, and that’s what I want. It seemed under powered to me but I am curious what you think after your 25 hours of working yours. Are you satisfied with the power? Another issue was it seemed like the exhaust fumes kept blowing back in my face. I’m not sure I like their exhaust pipe location. My old Yanmar has a smoke stack exhaust and it’s never been an issue with constant exhaust fumes. Figure out the blue tire issue? Must be your clay-soil??
For my needs it has tons of power and the hst is under powered compared to shuttle to some extent. The blue is indeed the blue clay here. I just hit 250 hours and I love that tractor. It is a total workhorse and has not let me down I'd buy it again for sure. The exhaust location is not well thought out some folks put an elbow on it I just put a piece of flex exhaust pipe and diverted it for 10$ well worth it

@@ianmburke it’s worked great for me in overall stability especially plowing snow
Awesome tractor dude!!! Can't wait to do some work with it. Happy for you!!
I expect the "Two Ron's Make It Right" business to come down soon and take on some farm projects
I have the same tractor in shuttle shift. I move quick with mines once I got used to it.
This is a tractor I’ve been eyeing. Between this and Deere

Just purchased a 1626 with backhoe, the seat on mine does pull back towards shifters, It's very stiff and requires a little muscle to pull back
I did find that out directly after making the video, I felt like I was going to break it but once I got the feel of the force needed it was okay 😄
Awesome tractor
It sure is!
Did you figure out why the ground had blue in it? I worked on my pond several years ago with the same tractor you have. I had the same blue!

Smaller tractor uses Mitsubishi engine, while big Mahindra have Mahindra engine 🚒🚒
Sorry smaller Mahindra use Yammar. I have one

@@oddmark8095 well my Mahindra’s engine has the Yammar stamped
Wrong. I have a 1626 with a Mitsubishi engine

@@ianmburke Thanks!
Just bought mine, waiting on the 3rd function to get installed. Which grapple do you use?
I cannot remember the brand it was the one the dealer had for the 1626 model
Mahindra have 33 % share in Mitsubishi,
That's why engine in built in Japan , because in😄😄 usa is far from india
Where did you get the backhoe attachment?
From the dealer when I got the tractor
How much did the backhoe attachment cost?
From the dealer with the tractor is was an 8k add on
I bought a 1790, trying to figure out if there’s a adjustment for how sensitive the hydraulics are, way to touchy .
There might be but I'm not sure. Is it the bucket or an attachment like a backhoe? I idle down a little when using the backhoe.
@@ianmburke
Yes the bucket. It’s so jumpy
@@ianmburke it’s the backhoe and even idle down it’s still so jumpy.
This is the other Ron....
Glad you got to see my video 😉
You funny guy!!
