My 2816 was HST as well. I really like controlling the loader with my right hand, steering with my left hand and controlling speed and direction with my feet. No lost motion or time. Once I got the hang of it, there was no going back. I will post some pictures soon - right now it is starting to...

I traded in my 2816 with about 800 hours on it for a brand new 4035HST with a loader this spring. Now at about 100 hours and first oil change. I really like this tractor!

I agree that Mahindra branded filters are a bit over priced. I recently replaced all of my filters with Wix filters, which are available at a number of auto parts stores. The original filters on my 2816 were unmarked, not even a part number or manufacturer. This leads me to believe that they...

Thanks, Doc. Yes, good advise always helps get 'r done. :respect: to Lethal

And it does! I also added some oil, as the level dropped a bit after the procedure.

Thanks! I have it in the shop now, and I will see if it helps.

My 2816 hydrostatic recently started to "kick back". When turning the steering wheel, it sometimes feels like it does not want to turn as easily as it normally does, and sometimes it feels like it sticks. It is only a momentary event, not to the degree that I can not turn - it is just not as...

Thanks for the idea Brandi. I will give it a try.

Thanks! Another oil-related site is "Bobistheoilguy". On that site is this article about oil additives. After seeing the oil in action, with and without additives, I know what I would do.

Diesels need a special type of oil that handles the extra soot that the oils pick up. Any oil API classed as "CG-4", "CH-4" or "CJ-4" will do the job. Check out this link for everything you need to know about engine oil. I have used Rotella T Synthetic in my diesels for quite a while, and...

Thanks guys. I installed longer bolts to make it so they extend all the way through the nuts, as the original bolts did not do that. I installed lockwashers and elastic stop nuts to see if that works. I do not have any locktite as my tube was very old and I pitched it out, so if they get...

I am getting better, and can get a decent load in loose material, but not so full when working with compacted materials like clay. Mine is the 2816HST, and it too is a real workhorse. I hang the box blade or rototiller on the back to help balance the loader. It does help, but filling the...

Thanks Brian. The way I load the bucket, heaped is almost the same as struck....:pat: :yum::yum:

Thanks! I like to think of the Weasel as a four place snowmobile....:letitsnow::letitsnow::letitsnow:

Greetings! I just joined this forum today and have looked through a number of posts looking for an answer to a question I have about bucket capacity for the ML106 60" loader bucket. I have found the lifting capacity and the breakout force, but have not located the cubic capacity of the bucket...

:wave: Greetings! I just found this forum today while looking up some data about my ML106 loader. I am a retired railroader, now living in Bardstown Kentucky. I bought a Mahindra 2816 last year to get our 5 acre property in order, as it was a hay field that is so rough that I thought my JD...
