    Power steering unable to steer with full bucket and no movement. Is that normal?

    I know this is an old post, sorry for resurrecting it. I have a max 26 HST, I just put the loader back on after it was off for a few weeks. When moving the steering seems a little sloppy, but when stopped or going very slow I have the same issue with the tires not wanting to turn. Are use it to...

    Wet area recommendations

    I’ve got this area of grass between a drive and a barn that just gets soaked. It used to be OK, but the power company “fixed” the drive and now it’s too high for the water and it gets trapped. I don’t want to spend money on gravel, although it would be nice to fill it in and slope it all...

    Using Leaf Blower in Barn

    I’ve used cheap blowers to clean out my barns in the past, but now I have a nice Stihl Backpack blower and I’m curious is it’s ok to use on the barn? Or is it going to hurt it with all the dust? It gets really, really dusty. Is there a better/different filter to use? Should I just use it...

    Price Check  Max 26XLT HST

    I just got a quote on a max 26 eggs LTHST, with loader and mower they are wanting $23178. Adding a Landscape Rake and Forks gets the $1000 discount but also adding lights to the ROPS, filling the tires, and a Quick Hitch brings it to $24163 plus tax. Does this seem to be on par with what...

    Black/Dirty Exhaust eMax25

    I have an EMax 25 with 200 hours on it, and I’m pretty sure this is new, although there is a slight chance I just never noticed it. But right in front of the exhaust the bolts for the front brush guard, and the silver lever to lean the brush guard forward, are completely black. It’s right in...

    eMax Brake Switch Location

    I haven稚 looked, maybe it痴 way to find, but lately my eMax 25 is sometimes not starting unless I kind of push down the brake a few times. I知 thinking maybe the brake switch/sensor is going out? Is this likely the issue? Anyone know where to look for the switch? And maybe where to get, and...

    Buying Advice  Things to remember when negotiating price

    Is there anything that is good to remember or ask for when buying a tractor and negotiating a price? Not brand wise, but any add ones or extras? Things that maybe a week/month/year later you wished you got it added on? Or things they are likely to throw in if you ask? I’m trying to get a list...

    Does warranty cover Rudy?

    Does warranty cover Rust? My eMax 25 is 15 months old and I noticed rust on the top of the mower deck already. I haven't asked the dealer yet, but any idea if this would because warranty thing? It's not like it's rust where I may have hit something, it's right on top off the deck where the...

    Mahindra eMax 25 idle rpm

    I had to replace a washer on the throttle lever of my Mahindra Emax 25, I don稚 remember it idling as high as it does now. I don稚 believe it has anything to do with what I did because even with the throttle cable loosened all the way it idles around 1300 RPM, is that normal for this tractor? I...

    Mahindra eMax 25 Grease Fittings

    I've got the manual here for the eMax 25 and it says for maintenance to grease every 50 hours, but only shows one grease point on the front axle. Is this all the tractor has? Everything else is sealed maybe? Or are there other points? I don't want to miss something. Thanks
