Is this what your after @Tor R ?
Everything is *s-word now my nephews new 4x4 mahindra 26hp the front end literally exploded after it locked up
It just has about 40 hour's on it
We had it several miles from a road on a ridge the mahindra tech said *f-word it up it's under warranty we'll fix it
we can't load it
Run it with the bucket down and slide it off the ridge to the trailer
We did it ripped the pumpkin apart and blew gears thought the housing
Noe there's no replacement parts in North america for it
The dealer is trying to get permission to pull the front end off a new tractor.
Here's the crazy part
Mahindra says the tractor wasn't designed to run with the wheels turned out
It places too much stress on a pin in the front end?
Well the dealer delivered the tractor with the wheels turned out
It's a design flaw I told my nephew to ask for a different new tractor
But his was 17k 3 year's ago
It's 31k for the same tractor now.
Mahindra doesn’t have a very good reputation
One guy near me traded his in
25 hours on it and as you said front end issues
His was making a noise and he only mowed with it
A buddy’s dad has a 35/40 hp one and it might have 1000 hours on it now and it is on its last leg transmission issues
He had me to rebuild the backhoe stabilizer cylinders and mahindra couldn’t get him the right parts even though he bought it there
They had the serial number for tractor and backhoe and the stuff they gave him was not right
I ended up taking the pieces to a hydraulic shop
So mahindra isn’t a tractor company I’d be buying
Best to take a loss and find something different

If I was him I'd demand a different brand they offer several brands at that dealership.

Now I ain’t much of a tractor man, but does “running with the wheels turned out” refer to no positive camber (toe-in) on the front tires, or the rim/dish orientation?

He ran it as delivered from mahindra
I swear I've never heard of such *B-S....
How could what maybe 3-4 inches with the wheels out put that much pressure on
The front end gears
And cause a complete meltdown.
I've grossly overloaded old tractors with buckets maybe a hydraulic line let go but otherwise no damage
Now he was just running the brush hog on the mahindra and it self destructed.

Caught a little bit of a SailGP race on CBS…those are some badass sailboats and haul ass, 60-70mph cruising above the waterline. The Aussies and the Kiwi’s seem to dominate in this realm of racing. Some pretty cool boats.

kubota says not to fill the front tires because of rotating mass and extra wear to spin the tires

Whoo-hoo. We got a awesome rain a little bit ago. Not only getting a bit more than the angry "half-inch" of the wet stuffs, but it cooled it from 86 to 68, and now holding that 68 for nearly the last hour. COOL...

I really have never heard anything bad about them but online there's tons of complaints
It's a common theme front end or drive line issues
He'd bought this one because it doesn't have the exhaust regen or whatever it's called.
I've run my neighbors new 60hp mahindra for him all this year no issues
He's in too bad of shape to run it anymore.

25hp is the limit now on the regen garbage
i think alot of that stuff started in 2008 but not completely sure on the year
