Problems With Mahindra Emax 25 And Solutions

Mahindra Emax 25 is a 24hp, four stroke water cooled diesel engine powered compact tractor with multiple attachment capabilities. It uses a hydrostatic transmission system. Some of the attachment capabilities for the tractor include the loader bucket, backhoe and slide discharge mowers. The performance and reliability of the tractor depends on proper asset care management system. Tractor operator and service personnel should strictly adhere to service standards as instructed by the supplier. Failure to do that will result in various problems with Mahindra Emax 25 tractor.

Tractor Electrical System

The electrical system is responsible for engine ignition during start up, all tractor lighting and indicators, wipers and braking lights.

Lighting System Not Working

To solve this problem with Mahindra Emax 25 tractor, the first thing to check are the lamp fuses. For some reason the fuses blow out thus opening the circuit resulting in lights not working or illuminating as they are supposed to do. Fuses operate as protection devices which blow out when current overload passes through the unit. Carefully follow the cables to the fuse and visually inspect it for signs of being burnt or broken. Broken or burnt fuses need to be replaced using the appropriate size fuse that will give protection to the lamps for the tractor. Broken cables also need to be inspected and where possible rejoining and insulation should be done to provide electrical continuity. Lights and other tractor electrical functions may not work if the battery is discharged. This may be due to faulty alternator not recharging the battery or the battery unit is damaged. Flat batteries should be charged and tested for voltage capacity. If battery cannot accept charge, replacement is the solution to avoid problems with Mahindra Emax 25 tractor.

Hard Starting

Mahindra Emax 25 tractors also faces the problem of taking long to start. There are two causes of this problem, low battery voltage or loose battery connections. To solve this problem all battery connections should be tightened. Battery has to be recharged or replaced to increase the voltage required to start the ignition process. The second item to check on are the spark plugs. They should be inspected for contamination, gaping or check if they are not broken. Dirt or contaminated spark plugs should be cleaned and gaping adjusted appropriately. Refer to supplier manual for proper gaping of the spark plug. Broken plugs require replacement.

Transmission Problems

Mahindra Emax 25 tractor is also affected by transmission problems. Transmission problems usually arise when incorrect transmission fluid is used, filters and transmission fluid pipes become blocked and failure of hydraulic pump and control valves.

Caution should be exercised when refilling hydraulic transmission fluid. Avoid use of contaminated transmission oil as this affects the pump, filters and pipes. Always use the recommended transmission oil for your transmission system.

Leakages are also one of the major causes of transmission problems in Mahindra Emax 25 tractors. Leakages may be caused by loose connections, broken transmission oil pipes, broken or worn out pump seals and cracked fluid tanks. Regular inspections should be carried out to identify all these leakages as the cause transmission n failures. All broken pipes and fittings should be replaced. Loose connections have to be fixed using proper hose clamps. Always keep the transmission oil within required levels.

Mahindra Emax 25 tractor transmission problems or failure are also caused by failure mechanical elements like the pump, hydraulic motors and filters. Failure of the pump affects the whole hydraulics of the tractor. Functional pump should be able to pump out transmission oil from its outlet port otherwise the pump is dead. Faulty pumps should be sent for repairs or be replaced. The same applies to hydraulic motors and filters, these elements also fail due to wear and tear. It is therefore recommended to periodically check their functionality and replace any faulty part.

Engine Problems

Common Mahindra Emax 25tractor engine problems include engine stalling frequently, engine running at abnormally high temperatures and abnormal engine noise.

Engine Stalling Frequently

The engine will suddenly shut off when running or it does not run consistently. The major reason for this kind of engine performance is faulty fuel injection system.This problem is addresses by repairing or replacement of the faulty fuel system. It is recommended to contact Mahindra authorized dealers to assist in problem diagnosis. Blockages of the air and fuel filters are also other causes of engine stalling. These units are critical for air and fuel cleaning prior to engine intake. They get rid of all debris so that combustion is efficient. With time the filters get clogged with dirt and debris and require cleaning periodically. If filters gets old and cannot be further cleaned and reused replacement is recommended to ensure air fuel mixture quality is maintained.

Engine Overheating

This problem in Mahindra Emax 25 tractors may be caused insufficient coolant. This may be caused by leakages. The engine is designed to operate within certain temperature ranges. Once these are exceeded the performance is compromised.

Coolant levels need to be regularly checked and maintained within required levels. When refilling the coolant also make sure you use the correct coolant for the engine as recommended by supplier. Engine cooling problems are also caused by damaged radiator core. Damaged radiator cores should be replaced and those that are clogged with dirt should be cleaned. The fan belt should also be inspected for tension and condition Slack belts should be tensioned and broken belts replaced.

Engine Knocking

The major cause of engine knocking is operating the engine at low temperatures. Coolant should be able to vaporize at correct engine temperatures thus avoiding engine pistons knocking. Engine should be allowed to warm up so that the coolant becomes effective.

Secondly, excessive engine knocking in Mahindra Emax 25 tractors is caused by worn out pistons and excessive end play of the crank.Worn out pistons and connecting rods should be replaced.

The above highlighted root causes of problems in Mahindra Emax 25 tractors can be solved by religiously following all supplier recommended service guide lines. Competent person should also be consulted when troubleshooting the tractor.
