Additional Notes

  • The Mahindra 3325 and 3525 tractors share the same MDI 1895 E engine but differ in transaxle fluid capacity. The 3325 holds 21 liters while the 3525 requires 26 liters, reflecting differences in the gear drive assembly size between the two models.
  • The 4500, 5500, 6000, and 6500 2WD models all share a transaxle fluid capacity of 29.15 liters despite being fitted with different engines, indicating a common gear drive housing across that range of models.
  • An initial service interval of 50 hours applies to the transaxle fluid on the 4500 2WD, 5500 2WD, 6000 2WD, and 6500 2WD models. An early drain at 50 hours is standard practice on new or rebuilt gear drives to remove metal particles and manufacturing residues that accumulate during the break-in period.
  • Following the initial 50-hour service, the 4500, 5500, 6000, and 6500 2WD models move to a normal-use change interval of 1000 hours, which is a common long-interval schedule for enclosed gear drive transaxles in agricultural equipment.
  • The 3325 and 3525 models specify a fluid check interval of 250 hours under normal use, while the 4500 through 6500 2WD models specify a check interval of 200 hours. A more frequent check interval on larger-capacity units can reflect greater sensitivity to fluid level changes relative to total system volume.
  • Despite the difference in check intervals, all models across the specifications share the same 1000-hour normal-use fluid change interval, meaning the check schedule and the change schedule operate independently of each other.
  • The 3325 and 3525 specifications carry no initial service entry, unlike the four 2WD models. Only the rows for the NE342 R, NE452 R, NE457 R, and NE462 R-engined tractors include a 50-hour break-in drain requirement.
