Max26xl

[mach1]

How does $24,000 sound for a Mahindra Max 26xl FEL/60" Belly Mower and backhoe, Mahindra post hole digger w/8" bit and a 20' utility trailer (7000lb)?

Figure $16500-$17,000 is a great price on a Max26XL HST with QA loader. Then do the math, Belly mower, PHD, BH and Trailer for $8K?
IF the tractor suits your needs, Get it. No Tier 4 worries at 25.6 HP.

Really? My neighbor paid substantially less than that for his Max 28 with loader -- about $13K. You can buy a larger/nicer Kubota B with front loader for $17K or a Deere 1025R with loader for $15K, so around here the Mahindras are undercutting those guys by $3-4K or so.

Max26 Prices have rose $2K, since the Max28 all over. In NE the Prices are $3K more for any small tractor. Kubota B is 20K plus, Max 26 is +17K. That is why I went red and out of state to buy.

yes, seems like prices went up.... I bought my bx25 new with a mmm for 18k and that has a backhoe. Maybe bx setup new now is considerably more? That was five years ago

My local dealer is selling the B2601 with front loader just under $17K, and the rebates will knock that down another $500-700. So the street price here hasn't gone up that much. General rule of thumb is to take the "build my Kubota" web price and expect a discount of 10-15% from most dealers.

Here is the actual breakdown of the package deal they are offering me:

Max 26xl HST $11,967
Loader. $ 3,500
Backhoe. $ 6,000
Mower deck. $ 2,925
Post hole digger $ 925 w/ 8" bit
Diamond C trailer $2,500 (20')

After closer examination of the quote, the original amount I posted did not include trailer or post hole digger.

Kubota seems to have a pricing strategy like the big 3 have with pick-ups, i.e. high sticker, but rebates with the best financing package.

Not really such a great a price.
Maybe just lowball the dealer, just to see what happens? $25k is still ok IMHO

I paid $18,500 out the door for a Max 26xl shuttle with loader, backhoe and 12" bucket. No sales tax, it was in October with a $2,000 rebate.

That is best price I've seen.

In NH, John Deere Corporate is fighting with the State Atty General claiming that the extension of Auto Lemon laws violates their Dealer Contracts. I'ts tough to do business in New England. That is why so may companies fled south.

Thanks for the feedback. The Fort Worth Stock Show deals are starting to roll out so I have used that leverage to knock another $1500 off. Looks like I will be the proud owner of a Mahindra. Now I need to sell the Kubota.

Who are you getting it from? I got my Max 28XL from Four Brothers out I-30 in Royce city about a 1 1/2 years ago. So far they have been very good to work with.

Mahindra had a special where if you got 2 implements, you got one free or something like that. Not sure if it is still going on.

My brother just got a 26xl, loader, backhoe, mmm, rake.

Tractor is ordered! I have no idea what I need a backhoe for but maybe it's time for a pool.... Or at least a big muddy hole.

I was quoted $16,800 (before taxes) for a Max 26xl with loader and q/a bucket. This trator does not have the mid-pto. Seems high compared to some of these other claims.

 

[brasco426]

Enjoy the new machine! I just got the Max 24, nice little machines. Post pics when it comes home

 

[sdcharger]

Just to clarify, I haven't bought the tractor yet. I'm still considering several other machines. I really liked the Max 26xl...
