No mid pto. I decided against the mid mount mower because I will be doing a lot of loader and backhoe work on uneven terrain and in the woods. I was concerned with the mid mount getting hung up and was not crazy about the idea of removing it every time I do that kind of work.Did you get your Max 26 just without the mid mount mower, or without the mid PTO to run it? I kind of like having the mid mount mower on mine. After running a 5' brush hog on the rear I could foresee some maneuvering advantages to the mid mount Mower over a 3 point. Depends on your mowing area though.
I have a max 26 xlt with a 60” Sitrex rear finish mower. It runs it no sweat.I purchased a Max 26 without the belly mower. I will get a 3pt finish mower for it. The dealer said the recommended implement size is 48" for basically everything except a rake. I find it hard to believe this 26hp machine can't handle at least a 60" 3pt finish mower. Does anyone have real world experience to help guide me in selecting a finish mower?
