The Importance of Planned Maintenance
Christmas is almost here, and do you know what that means? Spring is right around the corner! Now is the time to get your tractor ready for the coming season. The recommended planned maintenance is very important for the longevity of your equipment and is required for future warranty issues to be covered.
If you prefer to do your own maintenance, be sure to use OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts. Keep your receipts so everything is documented for warranty purposes. We have had warranty claims denied because a customer could not prove that recommended maintenance was done. The first 50-hour service is especially critical for continuation of warranty service.
Why should I choose a Mahindra dealer for planned maintenance?
Utilizing your local Mahindra service department for all PM needs ensures your tractor will operate optimally for years to come. BE SURE TO ASK OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT SPECIAL WINTER PRICING DISCOUNTS. Trained and certified technicians perform a 34-point inspection which covers every square inch of your tractor's fit and function, including:
- Testing engine performance via Mahindra diagnostic software.
- Installing any electronic control unit (ECU) engine updates.
- Discovering and mitigating minor issues before they become significant ones.
- Maintaining detailed inspection, service, and repair records for warranty integrity.
- Emissions (tier 4)
- Lubricants & fluids
- Hydraulics
- Chassis & front axle
Attention Low-Hour Users
Ask your dealer to perform a PM service at least once a year. When your tractor sits for periods of time, it can generate condensation. Over time, this moisture can accumulate in oil which can reduce or even eliminate essential lubrication and cause premature component failure. Would you rather pay for annual preventative maintenance or spend thousands on a new engine? Avoiding costly repairs, limiting downtime, and maximizing your tractor's life require regular inspections by you and routine planned maintenance (PM) by your Mahindra dealer. An authorized dealer is the best resource to get factory-original parts and ensure well-trained and certified technicians protect your capital investment.
Note: Always be sure to follow your owner's manual (OM) maintenance intervals.
