Thanks for the add. Finally bit the bullet and bought a new Max26 last month, with a FEL, belly mower and snow blower. Great tractor compared to what I was used to in the past Ford 8N, Allis Chalmers WD, and D17, Farmall Super H, and Super M. So far I've only been mowing and breaking up the hardpan in the garden with a subsoiler. The only slight complaints I have on the tractor is that the front of the seat slopes down, almost feels like you're going to slip out, and the exhaust exit. The seat I can probably fix with some blocks between the seat and the mount. The exhaust is another matter, after boating with the Navy for 20 years down in the engineering spaces I've ended up with COPD. I've had several instances where the exhaust is blowing back in my face, which makes it tough on breathing. Has anybody switched a Max26 to a vertical exhaust, or rerouted the exhaust some how? Any suggestions are appreciated. Other tan those two small irritations the tractor has been great so far. Looking forward to your comments.
