New Max series...

[RHemmer]

Went to check out the new 28max with a loader, it is a great looking machine. Looks heavy duty and fit and finish is outstanding. Having given all it credits it does have one thing that I wasnt crazy about. The controller (joy stick) for the bucket is too far away from the operator. You would have to hold your arm up and out without a rest to lean on. I am sure it could be "Altered"to a more desireable position. Otherwise a real nice piece of machinery.

I have already addressed that with Mahindra. There is a new bracket that will soon be on its way to dealers to swap them silly ones out!:thumbsup:

Are the HSTs set up so you can use the steering brakes while finessing the go pedal?
Thanks,

No. The brakes are on the same side as the hydro pedal

From the looks of things, it's going to be hard to beat these machines. Jury is still out until the MAX series see some exposure to the market...
I wish I had a Mahindra dealer closer than ~1000miles! I tend to be an early adopter, but at that distance it better be the be all & end all of SCUTS!
(I'm left with either JD or Kubota to choose from in my market, not terrible choices by any means)

Got a truckload with a Max22's and some Max25's this morning. Attached a few pics of the 25.

I'm pretty jazzed--really nice machines.

Phooey. ... I dont really need another tractor, but would have bought a '28 HST if it turned out to be designed right. No sale.

Cool -- I might stop by there and ogle them next time I pass through Richmond.

Always welcome in Tonkaville!

That loader control is solid looking, but placement isn't ideal IMO. How will a new bracket for the control change the placement? I see what looks like the hydraulic filter canister more or less in front of the right rear tire- how exposed is this compared to Kubota's BX or JD 1-series? Easy to change it when the time comes anyway!

Mahindra must be taking cosmetic design cues from John Deere. They both have the chrome blemish on the front of the hood! CHEESY

 

[MAX28XL]

HI I want to buy a max 28XL HST TLB my dealer has some on order they sent one max 28XL shuttle with no backhoe that was not orderd. where is the max? they say the max is here and its not.

Does anyone have a idea what these machines cost? I understand there are a lot of factors involved, but just looking for a general idea. I finally got the wife to allow me to get a SCUT, and really have been leaning words the Deere 1026, but might have to take a look at the Max 22 or even the 25. Just looking for mower and loader. All that I have read, the Max is a heavier machine, will that drive the cost up? Just wondering and thanks for the help!!

IME they priced out almost the same. (1026 to Max25)

it is a throwback to row crop tractors. it is called a sight or pointer. you line it up with something in the distance so you can drive a straight line.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

The Max looks like a nice tractor! Glad they replaced the stupidest loader control valve I've ever seen...

If they screwed up the control valve, what else did they screw up?

 

[AchingBack]

Probably the price. I'd imagine it is too low for the quality and integrity of a Mitsubishi built tractor.

That's funny, because I thought the price was a little high.

Perhaps they are great tractors, but only time will tell. I prefer to wait until people start buying them and report about their experiences, good or bad, before I decide for myself. And being built by Mitsubishi doesn't mean much to me, because many Mitsubishi-built tractors are impossible to get parts for.
