Curious if any other Max 26 owners out there have found their tractors to be lacking power. Just purchased a Max 26XL Hydro with loader and am underwhelmed with it's power delivery to the ground. Specifically, in low range at max rpms, I have no trouble getting the tractor to stall out without...

Looked at the specs of the new 3550 recently and it looks like the new cab model is losing 3hp at the PTO over the new open station model and the old 5035 model (40 vs 43 hp). Anyone out there know why the cab model loses 3 PTO hp? Seems odd.

Is anyone aware of any incentives/rebates on New Holland Wheel Loaders? Would like to upgrade my loader to an LW170B but not so sure my local dealer is always forthcoming on available incentives. Thank You.
