G'day mate. The tyres were 265x65x17 kenda klever M/T. The rims were off a 2021 S11 and I think they were pos 13 offset from memory. I did run steel dynamic rims that were 15x7 with a neg 22 offset, but I sold them and bought the alloy rims. Hope this helps mate. And thanks for watching. It's very much appreciated 👍 😀

Thank you so much. And thanks for watching. Very much appreciated 👍 🙏

Thanks mate. He goes in to fracture clinic tomorrow to see if they have to do surgery on it.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 Ok that's good, he be back on his feet in no time, gee that 200 sounds awesome

Yeah, got to love a tuned v8. Lol

Great review Hope the young fella pulls out of opp. Question. Have you ever had problems with pulling you tow hitch out of any vehicles you have owned, as mine gets rusted into the hole, many times, I gotta lay under the car, bash the liven crap out of it ro change the tow hitch. Have you ever has this, if so, how did you solve the pblm. I thinking rubbing back, painting rust remover in side the hitch and out where it slides in, then maybe some grease, witch grease thou, thinking marine grease, what's your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Great to see family out n about again. Missed you guys. Thanks for sharing

@robbiecryer G'day mate, yeah the hitch in the little shorty is stuck in there and won't come out. But since it can't pull anything to heavy, it will always have the 50mm ball. As for the others, we are changing them quite often from 50mm ball to DO35 hitch. So they don't get time to rust in place. I do clean them pretty often as well and up them with some WD40. So yeah, I would definitely up them with a wire brush, even the hitch shaft itself. Then put some WD40 on them to repell the water. Grease will attract to much sandy grit that will bind it up when trying to remove it. Hope this helps mate. Oh and thanks for watching. Very much appreciated 😀👍🙏

Thanks mate. I will never buy another mahindra after all the drama I had with mine. Great little 4x4, but the build quality was crap, and the after sales service was atrocious!!. Mahindra Australia even tried blaming me for all the problems it was having, trying to get out of the warranty claim. I didn't expect that from a company I was trying to help!!. I love my 200 series landcruiser, and I'll never go back to mahindra. It's a shame, because I had high hopes and a lot of interest from people all over the world with it. Even roothy was very disappointed how mahindra treated me. Thanks for watching mate, very much appreciated 👍😀

Thank you. 👍😀

I agree 👍

Ok

Ok

I did. I sold it and bought another landcruiser. Lol

Apparently the bearings failed. Probably due to lack of oil. Or just cheap bearings. I was so glad to sell that mahindra and buy another landcruiser. No issues with it. Thanks for watching 👍

Before I sold it, I was using it quite often on the 4x4 tracks. And I found the diff lock worked just fine. Not to aggressive, but predictable. Mine was a manual gearbox, so the diff lock kicked in pretty early if you dropped the clutch. I did test drive an automatic gearbox version, and found it took way to long for the diff to engage. You really had to give it some reves to get it to lock up. I actually liked the diff lock in mine. It was the one thing that didn't go wrong with my mahindra. Thanks for watching 👍😀

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 thanks ! can you explain a little further what do you mean by "dropping the clutch" im new to all this 4x4, and planning on buying a manual Mahindra, thanks

@ricardotellezzapata9711 it just means, you take your foot off the clutch quickly. This, along with some revs can spin the wheels allowing the diff locking mechanism to engage faster.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 what did go wrong with it? I'm trying to do some research into them.

G'day mate. At 20k it spat the carrier bearing on the tail shaft. At 40k the steering rack and the engine wiring harness failed. Both had to come from India resulting in the vehicle off the road for a month. 65k the turbo failed. 70k the DPF sensor was filling up with water. In amongst all of that it had heaps of electrical dramas with sensors filling up with dirt and water. Door cards kept rattling, and constantly coming up with lights on the dash. The worst thing is MAHINDRA tried blaming me for the issue. I was told that my 4x4 should NOT be driven off road as much as what I was doing. Can you imagine if Toyota had told its customers not to take their 4x4's off road...... in the end I got sick of it and mahindra. So I traded it in on another cruiser. Mahindra are an absolute bunch of self centred AHOLES and will never fix the problems.

G'day mate. Personally I wouldn't touch a mahindra again after knowing what I know now. Biggest bunch of idiots that have no idea on how to look after their customers. The vehicle itself is really a toss of a coin if you get a good one. If you get a good one, you won't have to deal with their awful customer service. But if you get one that starts having issues, you might as well chuck it off a cliff. The Chinese stuff like LDV is a better option in my view. They seem to have their fingers on the pulse a bit better. Parts on both sides are a little sparse, but aftermarket parts are more available for the Chinese brands. That's because 99% of mahindra parts are all in house. Where the Chinese stuff is more accessible from aftermarket dealers. At the end of the day they are both cheap Ute's, and sometimes you get cheap quality. But do your homework on both by looking at Facebook forums, and ring some workshops about wait time on parts and service costs. The mahindra was bloody expensive to service!!. I look at it this way now, if it breaks down, how long will it take the company to get my hard earned money back on the road safely. I know for a fact my mahindra was parked up for up to a month some times. Good luck with your decisions mate. Thanks for watching, and feel free to ask any more questions. 👍

Mate I'm over the moon with it. Such a great little tractor. I recently had the privilege of going through the trident facility's at Brisbane. I was really happy with the availability of parts, and the customer service. That to me as a buyer is definitely a bonus. The biggest problem about buying something you don't know much about, is the availability of parts if it does have a problem, and who can I call to get it fixed. There guys and girls at trident really look after you. As for my personal experience owning one, I couldn't be happier. The kids and wife are always using it when I'm not home. It just doesn't miss a beat. And the backhoe is such a great implement to have in your arsenal of attachments. Give them a go mate, you won't be disappointed.

In what way??

Sure. It was $3500. That was 4 foam cell shocks and coils and adjustable pan hard rod. It sounds a lot for suspension, but the engineering plate is a big part of it. The lift didn't require upper control arms, as it was only a 2 inch lift. Been on there foe a while now, and it feels great on and off the road. But after we got the 200 done, I found a different mob called "outback armour". I would definitely be going with that brand now, because they have a 5 year unlimited km warranty. That is better then any other brand. Thanks for watching. 👍

My family and I work bloody hard to be able to afford what we have. So if you can't afford something, maybe you should work harder to get it. Remember, I bought the mahindra not because of its value, but because I believed it would do the job asked of it. And obviously it failed big time. So yeah I replaced it with something that is reliable.

Wow, what a great honour to have you watching. The rims were 15 x 8 inch with a positive 13 offset. I think they were branded as "dynamic" rims. Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback. Very much appreciated. 🙏👍😀

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 thank youuuuuu how about the tires?

@selimbaccar3622 the tyres were 265x75x15 road x. In all terrain. I didn't actually Luke the tyres. I ended up putting kenda klever M/T tyres on it in 17 inch. Which was a way better tyre.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 LOVE IT

@selimbaccar3622 thanks. 👍

Custom built.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 how did you go about doing it

@brockwaring4453 an exhaust shop made it up for me.

Thanks mate. Bunnings should still have them. We bought the full kitchen set-up for the house as well. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind words mate. Look I do think the little mahindra ute is great value for money. But the biggest problem is mahindra themselves. They have absolutely no idea on what the customer needs. Lack of parts and reliability issues are just basic stuff a company should be getting right!!. Not to mention every time they make something that is a thing, they go and stop making it. Like the current shape ute, the killed off the 2 door version, then the manual version, and now they are killing off the ute as we know it, and replacing it with a want to be hilux lookalike!!. Absolutely stupid move in a country that was screaming out for an honest little farm ute, not another soccer mums car that you wouldn't take around the farm. I know I definitely wouldn't be putting my hard earned money in to mahindra. Thanks for watching mate. Much appreciated 😀👍

Yes they are great value for money, until they break down. Then you realise the lack of parts, and bad customer care from some dealers is not worth the hassle. I certainly put a lot of money and time in to mine, just to trade it in on a more reliable landcruiser. But others have had a good run out of theirs. And that's the biggest problem with mahindra, the quality control is crap compared to major manufacturers, and it's a real toss of a coin if you get a good one or a bad one. Hope you don't have any issues with yours. Thanks for watching 👍

Wow that is so cool. The little Suzuki is a popular choice over here an Australia as well. They are a fantastic 4x4, and the fact they weigh a lot less then others means it can go so many more places then the bigger landcruisers and Nissan patrols can. Sounds like you have a good set-up on yours. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the feedback. It is very much appreciated. 😀👍

Congratulations

Thanks heaps mate. Been fairly busy and not much time to ourselves lately. So I took some time off work and decided to get back in the swing of things. Thanks for your support, it is very much appreciated. 👍😀🙏

Naa, although the black series would certainly look good parked up my backyard. Lol. I received an invitation to go down to the Brisbane dealership and do a premonition video for them. So I took the family along and had an awesome time seeing how the business was run.

Yeah it should do ok. It's only got A/T tyres on it. But I'm keen to see how it works. Stay tuned mate and thanks for watching 👍.

Thanks mate. Yeah the jackaroo had clutch dramas. Both master and slave cylinders went in the old girl. Took a bit to get it back on the road as the Colorado also did the bearings in the rear diff. So money was tight for a bit. But the young fulla got the jackaroo running again, so time to take it off road. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated. 😀👍🙏

Thanks mate. Put a few up the other day, trying to get back in to the swing of things. Lol

I trimmed about 10mm off the joining rubber between engine and air box. Apart from that, it bolted straight up.

Not exactly sure what you mean. But I'm happy I traded it in on a 200 series landcruiser now. 👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 everyone I know that I talk to has had a turbo replacement on a DMax some twice.

@tonybennett638 ahh ok. I have heaps of mates out the mines with me that have them, and none of them have had failures. Even my old d-max never had turbo issues. Bit Luke the mahindra, some times ya just get bad ones.

He sure did. It was trapped upside down between two rocks. So my wife decided to save him. Thanks for watching. It is very much appreciated. 😀🙏

No problem at all. It really is a fantastic place. I definitely enjoy taking the family away and enjoying the great outdoors. Infact, we are heading off again this weekend to another beautiful beach location. More fishing, camping, buggy/bikes and great food by the camp fire. This toy hauler we built is a great way for the whole family to get out. Thanks for watching, it is very much appreciated. 👍😀🙏

Give them a ring. I'm sure they can help you out.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 I can not hear my phone i am nearly deaf that is why i email

@Casey6996 ok do you want me to get in touch with them for you. I'm glad to help if you want.

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 I did send another email again and see if they are going to answer this time. Thanks for your offer Graham

@Casey6996 I will give them a call for you tomorrow and make sure they respond. I know they were flat out when I was down there, but your email is important. So I will help you out if that's ok.

Thanks mate. Kids love it. 😀👍

Thanks mate, Bern a bit, but needed a break away from it all. But definitely happy to be back in the swing of things. Thanks for watching 👍.

Thanks mate. Definitely an eye opening place. 👍

Thanks mate. Had to re-edit the whole thing, as the music on the other one wasn't licensed like the website said. So I re did the whole thing and fixed it.

My son is 182cm. He is the one riding the bike.

Thanks mate. I'm sure he will. 👍😀

Missed you guy'zzz Hope all is well Thank's for sharing

@robbiecryer thanks mate. Been hectic and needed a break from it all. But getting back in the swing of things again. Lol. Thanks for your support. Very much appreciated 👏

I always let my engine idle down after a long drive. It doesn't matter now, I sold it ages ago and bought a 200 series landcruiser.

Doesn't bother me now..... I sold it and bought a 200 series landcruiser. Way better 4x4 and not a drama with it. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, personally I think the SUV would sell quite good over here in Australia. Thanks for watching. 👍

Thanks for watching. 😀👍

Yes. 👍

G'day mate. Definitely a good size for 7 acres. We have 10 here, and it's ideal for what we need. The tractor has just over 80 hours on it at the moment, it shares a bit of the use with my 19hp iseki tractor, so the amount of use isn't really high. It's main use is slashing, digging and timber work. The only thing I have found troublesome, is the low/high range gear stick should be around the other way. When your in low, the gear stick pokes out in front of your left foot, so it gets in the road when jumping on and off the machine. But when it's in high, it's in an upright position away from everything. Apart from that, it is pretty well designed. Great hydrolic pressure and a gutsy little engine. It really is great value for money. The biggest part that sold me was the downward pressure on the 3 point linkage, the availability of parts, and the customer care after I bought it. Stuff I didn't get when buying a car. Lol. But seriously I am really impressed with the little thing, just an honest tractor that does the job. Hope this helps. And thanks for watching. 👍

Nice. I'm glad you have had a good run with it. It's a shame mine wasn't as reliable. I'm sure I would have had a lot more fun in it. Thanks for watching. 👍

@@grahamharris4wdadventures53 i guess region also matters. Parts and service ain't a problem in SA I wound have loved solid axles at the front.

@marshmallowsquad7988 yep, solid axle would have definitely been better.

Thanks mate. Considering you don't have any shocks to replace and the ease of mounting the whole system to your trailer, I'd say it's great value for money. I looked at quite a few independent set-ups, and the crap you had to go through just to mount them all exactly the same looked a pain in the ars compared to simplicity. I'm a big believer of keeping it basic and effective. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for watching 👍

Yes mate they look like a fantastic simple design with little that can go wrong and next to no maintenance, keep up the videos they’re great to watch!

@jonathonchaplin7876 thanks heaps. I actually have the toy hauler in the shed getting it ready for our next camping trip in a few weeks. Can't wait. 👍

Unfortunately no. It was just a badly built turbo. A bit Luke the one they replaced it with.
