Mahindra Max 22 HST clutch questions
I have a Mahindra Max 22 HST (not emax). I bought it used with 120 hours. I've put about 80 hours on it. I had not used the 540 pto until the other day. I borrowed a tiller. When I went to use it...- smack957

Good Small Simple Tractor
Model Year: 2013
This is a good small simple tractor for light work. It is the first hydrostatic transmission i have used. I prefer a shuttle shift.
Pros: Simple, open cock pit
Cons: Okay clearance, no belly protection, no rear hydraulics, weak 3-point

Mahindra MAX 22 HST
Model Year: 2013
In its class, none of the other appear to be as powerful. I have the MAX 22 with the front end loader, mid mower and backhoe.
Pros: Easy backhoe removal, speedy hydraulics and well built construction.
Cons: Mid-mower raise and lower is very restricted.

Great Dry Area Machine
Model Year: 2013
This is a great little tractor, I have a 60" finish Mower, 4ft Bush Hog and front loader on it. Has plenty of power and mows grass like a champ. Bush Hog and end loader work great. You will use it in low range a lot due to High range being to high for the 22HP engine. The only thing I do not like about it is if you have any and i do mean any low wet spots that are soft you will be stuck in the mud very easily, especially with the belly mower on it, the mower does not lift high enough to get you out of some of the low spots, if you sink a little without the mower attached, you could come out of the mud, but with that stupid belly mower on if you sink over a few inches that's where you will stay until you winch it out, unless your lucky enough to have the front loader on it and can get a good solid hold to let it help you out. They should give you a 5000 LB. winch with this tractor as a free ad-on. Don't get me wrong I love this tractor and would not give it up for anything, but just watch the soft ground or you will be stuck!
Pros: Does everything a big tractor can do, plenty of attachments available.
Cons: Take caution in wet soft areas, when it's dry you can't stop it!

Mahindra Max 22
Model Year: 2012
After a year of research I purchased my first tractor (SCUT) for my property. I looked at just about every make and model and carefully weighting the differences. Believe it or not I passed up the Mahindra do to lack of knowledge and made in India? Well, after reading and test driving the Max 22, I knew this was the tractor for me. It was affordable and it is the biggest in the SCUT class. I've retired from the dept. of corrections in CT and have now found a hobby taking back my property. More to come...
Pros: Largest payload, well known engine, dealer close by.
Cons: Have yet to find any.

Max 22 is Better Than I Hoped or Expected
Model Year: 2012
My use of the Max 22 thus far has been mostly loader work, some land clearing and a small amount of mowing. My only complaint is the hydraulics are very abrupt. Perhaps this is normal, and if so, it is a feature of SCUTs that could easily be improved. Other than that the Max 22 has plenty of power, easily lifts the rated 900 pounds in the bucket, and quite a bit more in my experience. Maybe more important is the breakout force, which, when used for land clearing or boulder removal is as important as the lift capacity of the loader. I've removed several half ton boulders buried in material, and done so with pretty fair efficiency. Operating the tractor in high when doing work of any consequence is really not possible, especially where steep hills is involved. And when doing heavy loader work sometimes it takes removing your foot from the throttle pedal to get that last extra ounce of power out of the hydraulic system. The ergonomics are great. The seat comes up high enough on the back where I am not sore after spending a full day in the seat working. Maybe a bit of suspension in the seat would be nice, but that would necessitate raising the level of the seat, which would not be comfortable. The throttle pedal is a little close to the transmission yoke for my liking, but you do get used to it pretty quickly. I have an oil light but always prefer an oil pressure gauge. The light switch would be better served higher up as my knees keep hitting the switch and I am driving around my yard like an old lady driving down the highway with her blinkers on. Fit and finish of the tractor is superb. It also appears the finish is very durable.
Pros: Strong chasis, engine and durable. Sipps fuel.
Cons: Hydraulics are abrupt.
