He also briefly compares the 55-hp machine to his old 35-hp Massey on real brush-cutting work. Most useful for new Mahindra owners looking for low-effort preventive maintenance habits.
Posted by the AllThingsDIY Mike channel, presenting as a hands-on owner sharing personal experience rather than any dealership or commercial perspective.
The owner took apart every electrical connection he could reach and packed it with dielectric grease about five hours into owning the tractor to prevent corrosion and oxidation over time.
He used a paint pen to put witness marks across bolts, including rim bolts and structural frame bolts, so he can visually see if a bolt has loosened instead of checking with a wrench.
He applied WD-40 to the throttle cable located on the left side of the engine, and it worked fine for about 80 hours afterward.
He found his old 35-hp Massey Ferguson 135 underpowered for heavy brush, but the 55-hp Mahindra 2555 with a six foot rotary cutter goes right through it without slowing down.
