I HAVE HAD THIS TRACTOR OVER 2 YEARS. I USE IT ON MY CATTLE FARM. THIS AN OUTSTANDING TRACTOR FOR THE MONEY. I PULL A 10 FT BRUSHHOG, LOAD AND UNLOAD HAY IN THE SUMMER, I FEED ALL WINTER LONG WITH IT HANDLES ROUND BALES GREAT. I USE IT TO BOX BLADE MY DRIVE CLEANOUT BARNS AND TO CLEAN UP BRUSH. IT IS AN ALL AROUND GREAT TRACTOR. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH TRACTOR AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. I HAVE ONLY HAD A FEW MINOR PROBLEMS WITH TRACTOR. THE SEAT TENSION ADJUSTER BROKE. THROTTLE HANDLE BOLT CAME LOOSE. OTHERWISE TRACTOR HAS BEEN FLAWLESS

I have had the tractor for 2 full years. Great tractor for the money. No problems what so ever. The only problem is that the rear lug nuts came loose – but I noticed that. I use this tractor on extreme hill sides. Make sure you widen the tires all the way – feels much more stable. I have a 7 foot tiller, bush hog mower, blade, sprayer. Nothing is a problem. I strongly recommend the 4wd for hills. Love the 5200 – 10,000 RPM capability, this tractor just feels like it is made well. Just look at the frame that the loader is on. I have not filled the tires, but they can use it. If you are doing heavy loader work on a downward grade – it can raise your back tires. Simply put, you will not an equivalent value of tractor without paying 10-15,000 more. Mine was delivered within a couple of days. Gathman ag was great to deal with.

2004 Mahindra 7520 4WD Tractor

I have had this tractor for almost a year now, and thought that I should write a review. (Almost a year now because it took 90 days for shipping) The $23,000 is for the tractor only, the loader was $5,600 including hydraulic self leveling 84" bucket. This tractor has been great. It loads the bucket very good (full) without any problems. Pulls a 2200 lb offset disc fine. When using an 8' rear blade, 7' rollover Gannon, or 7' Road Boss road scraper the 7520 does not even know that they are back there. I have all heavy duty implements and would not recommend anything else be used without great caution. I would recommend that the tires be filled. The self leveling loader should probably only be purchased if you are doing a lot of fork lift work (just my opinion). I would put this tractor up against any other tractor in its class. I could not find any other tractor that is as good all around, or for the money. (and I looked for 2 years) I'm not saying it isn't there, just not very prominent.
