Tips for Common Tractor Problems

Your Mahindra tractor is built to last, but even the highest quality models will eventually suffer from wear and tear. This can cause a host of issues. It can impede your ability to work quickly and efficiently. It can lead to other issues that end up costing you more in repairs. It can even threaten your safety while you operate your tractor.

Here at Morgan Power Equipment, we strive to make your life easier. That's why we have rounded up common tractor problems as well as their solutions below. If you have any questions or want to get work done on your Mahindra tractor, visit our dealership. We proudly serve those in Halifax, Taunton, Plymouth, and Middleborough, Massachusetts.

Dull Blades

Your blades need to be sharp to get the job done. But blades easily become dull over time, which can cause them to be less efficient. It could take you longer to get the same task done or you may notice a lower quality in the resulting work. Fortunately, this is an easy fix. All you need is to sharpen your blades to return them to their former glory. In most cases, you will need to sharpen your Mahindra tractor blades twice a year. But if you use your equipment a lot, you may want to throw in an extra sharpening throughout the year.

Some models allow you to sharpen the blades yourself. For small models with a single-blade mowing deck, you can take the blade off and use a file to sharpen it. For larger and more complex models, you'll want to visit a dealership like Morgan Power Equipment. Otherwise, you can cause damage in your attempt to remove or re-insert the blade.

Electrical Issues

You can often trace any electrical issues back to a drained battery, which tends to happen if you leave your Mahindra tractor unused for a few weeks. In some cases, you'll simply need to charge the battery for things to return to functional again.

It can also be beneficial to inspect the posts and cables. These can experience wear or build up material deposits which get in the way of performance. Inspect these regularly and clean as needed. If you've charged your battery and cleaned your posts and cables and are still having issues, it's time to visit a service department.

Fuel System

Your fuel control lever on the engine can sometimes encounter issues. When it gets jammed, the fuel will struggle to make it to the engine. Sometimes this can be remedied with some lubricant. But if this doesn't work, you'll need to take it to a professional.

Tractor Engine

The heart of your Mahindra tractor is its engine. If you notice hard starts, low fuel consumption or low performance, it could be a sign of a faulty spark plug. Your specific model's owners manual will give you insight as to how often you should replace them for preventative maintenance.

Your carburetor is another part of your tractor that tends to experience issues. It serves to blend the air and fuel needed for your engine to run smoothly. But when it gets clogged, your performance will suffer. You'll need to catch and fix this problem quickly. Left too long, it'll get worse and leave enough damage to require a tractor repair.
