Max 26 Xl with backhoe

I'm pretty sure my manual says either light gear oil or hydro fluid is ok in the front.

A Premium Universal Tractor fluid will work fine in the front axle also.

I'm pretty sure my manual says either light gear oil or hydro fluid is ok in the front.

Whatever type of Trans/Hyd fluid your using in the hyd/trans system of your tractor will work fine. Like Mahindra Hyd/Trans fluid

They arnt all the same either so always double check in the manual... like the 10 series tractors took 80-90gear oil

Are you sure about the hyd. oil in the front axle? My eMax22 specifies a much heavier gear oil, something like 80W/90 in it (manual is at home so the weight might be off). If that's what they say to use, so be it, just seemed like it would be a bit light for that application.

Update: checked the manual and it specifies either straight 90 weight or 80W-90 gear oil for the front axle of the eMax 22 and 25. Wanted to stick with the recs since it's still under warranty. Pretty simple to drain and refill and check the level.

yes emax will take gear oil. same build as the 10 series. The Max tractors are different though

Can you get the filters there as well? I'm approaching the 50 hour mark soon on the eMax 25
Thanks

I've found there are some hydro filters that can't be xreffed and are only available at a dealer.

My 3016 has 2 different hydro filters. One is not available except as OEM.

I also found that the OEM stuff is as cheaper or cheaper than xreffed brands. I get all mine at the dealer now.

Ok thanks for the info.!

Btw, I checked and my 3016 manual says use hydro fluid in the front axle, so I guess it varies between models.
