Mahindra MAX 28XL
Just picked up one of the last few Max 28XL's just as they are gearing up for Tier 4 Final (Then it becomes 26XL). Got the thing loaded with all you see plus BH thumb and rear remotes, including 5ft Box blade, and trailer mover. Out the door and delivered with 0.9hrs on the clock for $27,100 to my driveway 1.5hrs away, heck, they even pick it up for the first major service for free. The dealer is awesome and received $800 back in rebates! Already ordered "The Thumb" for the loader, having cleared about 1/2 an acre already, it's needed. I'm incredibly happy with my purchase. A little nitpicking on line routing and rubbing, but gonna wrap the vulnerable ones with anti-chafe loom. Cheap insurance to avoid issues down the road. Just hit 10hrs yesterday and really put it through its' paces just after breaking (which I didn't baby it either). One thing to note...I'm weird, but I like to run-in the hydro right off the bat. Tossed into high range and took a nice drive for a few miles varying the pedal and changing the loads. Made a decent difference in drivetrain noise in my case. YMMV...but it was a nice day for a cruise...lol!

Dealer had it in the parts catalog. He placed the order for the thumb, remotes, and service manual. Took a few business days via truck from Texas.

Great tractor. We mow a lot with ours. Implements are really easy to put on and take off. Have fun!

What a nice, complete package of a tractor. You'll certainly get your money's worth with this.

What a fantastic setup. Love the thumb. I have about 115 hours on my max 22 and. I have not been shy with it. It has been really everything and more that I had hoped. The 28 should be that much more! Great machine, congratulations.
