It covers the digital instrument cluster versus analog gauges, onboard diagnostics, electronic throttle/injection, and the added diesel oxidation catalyst under the hood, plus shared features like the seat and five-year warranty. Good for buyers deciding between tier 3 and tier 4 models; no fieldwork or loader/backhoe testing shown.
Posted by a self-described Mahindra salesman (Dixie Don), so expect a dealer's perspective rather than an independent mechanic's teardown.
The 3550 is tier 4 with a digital instrument cluster, electronic throttle and injection, onboard diagnostics, and a diesel oxidation catalyst, while the 4035 is tier 3 with analog gauges and mechanical injection.
Yes, the 3550 has onboard diagnostics that let you access the computer to read error codes and see what might be causing a problem.
It is a device bolted into the exhaust under the hood, described as similar to a catalytic converter for a diesel, new for tier 4 models.
Yes, both tractors are backed by Mahindra's five year warranty.
