Initial prices for Max 28xl

[Dingo Man]

I just got home from my local Mahindra Dealer located in Old Town Maine. I asked him to give me a ball park dollar amount for the max 28. He advised me Mahindra's list price is $19,400 but they would be selling them at $16,999 with FEL.

Also asked about a 3616 with FEL. He told me Mahindra lists them at $24,000but they would be selling them from 20,500.

This dealer is new to Mahindra and are currently awaiting their first shipment of tractors in.

That seems a bit high to me as I talked to a dealer in VA and he quoted me a price of 15,250ish. I can't remember the exact number but it was a little over 15K.

Have you thought about the 2516? From what I'm told, it's the exact same as the 28XL save for they tweaked the engine to get 3 more HP on the 28. I was quoted 14,100 for 60 months at 5.69 IR.

I'm really interested in purchasing one but it's more of a need than a want at this stage in life.

Well one thing I have learned in the past two years looking at tractors. We up here in the north east are going to pay a bit more than most of the rest of the country. I don't know if it is shipping cost or the liberal #$@! we keep voting into office.

About the Max 28 vs. the 2516 I had heard the 28 is quite alot beefier in the frame?

I'm a Libertarian, ( I am hating every last one of our leaderless morons right now) but what the heck do the liberals have to do with the cost of a tractor? That is almost as applicable as the claims by both parties that they can control the price of oil short of releasing our entire strategic reserves all in one shot.

Have to blame on someone might as well be them!

Kootch, did not mean to insult you. I also don't mean to make this into a political forum by any means. There is a big difference between the word I used "liberal" and libertarian.

Better come to Minnesota and check out the prices here! M&M expresss (a 3 dealership company just west of Minneapolis) is running a ad for a Max 28xl with front end loader and a tiller (tiller is a off brand that they got a good deal on so they are getting rid of them) for $14.999. The tractor for this price is shuttle trannie. Another $900 gets you the Hydro. I thought this was a great deal, what do you think?:thumbsup:

 

[Dingo Man]

That sounds like a pretty good deal. My dealer's figures were just what he blurted out. As I was leaving I just asked for a ball park figure that I good bring back to the "supreme allied commander of the northeast division" (my wife). I don't know if the $16,999 w/ FEL is their start and have wiggle room from there.

I wasn't insulted at all. No apology warranted. I could go on and on about the conservative/liberal bashing but I think either is counterproductive Dingo. I wish the heck wee could try and work together, that's all. I get the frustration, I too have the same anger toward the current state of things, but I'd rather deal in facts, not Obermann/Beck fiction.

Looks like I got the best offer this week. I drove the Max 28 this morning. Pretty nice tractor. He priced it for $14,800 with a FEL. I probably would have bought it for sure but I am a Massey guy. Tested a 1526 yesterday and it was pretty nice too. I had to make a pro and con list to come to my conclusion. A couple of good points on the MAX was it had metal fenders. Most everything is fiberglass anymore. It had a Tilt Steering Wheel and Massey didn't. It only had a 48" bucket and the Massey was 60" It has an option of 54" I don't think the Max had a bigger one but I could be wrong. The Massey has a 3 range Hydro and Max has 2. The Max moved slower in Low range than the Massey at full throttle. The Hydraulic seems a little rougher on the Max but that could be from the new. The seat was higher and more comfortable on the Massey and the Massey has side by side Hydro Pedal where as the max has rocker pedals. I was pretty impressed with the MAX 2 though. It is shorter and Wider and looked like it would be a lot more stable mowing on sloped ground. The ROPS was more straight up and looked a little more solid.

Hope this wasn't too long but just thought I'd give my input. Sorry guys, The Massey won my heart again. But the MAX sure isn't anything to complain about too much.
:thumbsup:

2516 has a 105 loader vs the 28XL with a 205 loader.
Considerable difference in Loader Specs, but I question how such a little tractor like the 28 XL can be stable with a loader rated to lift 1402 lbs at pins? This would still be a +1000 Lbs center bucket, and machine would be tippy without at least 500 LBS counter weight.

There are many machines out there capable of lifting more then they can handle in a stock spec. I would expect one would load the rear tires, add a 400 lb box blade or counter weight and eat a lot of potato chips if they plan to operate at maximum.

Or, you could put a BX on the 3pt hitch.
