madmax12 said:I'll never need it, but the Max28XL has cruise control. And tilt steering. On every other point, though, your reasons for choosing something else make sense to me. I would prefer side by side pedals, too. It was too crowded for my feet on the 22/25, but the 28 has plenty of leg/foot room for me to use the front/back setup.
If you are really tall, I could see the seat being an issue. However, if you get a backhoe on the Max28XL, it is a totally different seat, which would give a tall person many more options. That's demonstrated on YouTube.
3 range might be needed for many. For me, I almost always have it in low. It is slow, but for what I do, slow and steady keeps me right side up.
I'm not a mahindra person, per se. When I was shopping, if bobcat had better lift capability, I could walk to them...and drive the tractor home. If they were the strongest, as they claim on their website, I would have bought a bobcat. They compare others on their site... No mention of mahindra. Funny.
I wanted the most strength for the size. I really didn't care what brand that was, when I began my research. At the end of research, I had one choice. Mahindra. In 6 months...that might be different... It depends on what other brands design.
You made a great choice and have some features on yours that I like better than mine. Like u said, I think I made a great choice, as well.
A lot had to do with upbringing. Use to work on a ranch and I used a Massey 35. What a great tractor that was. I just sold my massey 1215 that I had for 14 years trouble free. I really think people are influenced by their past. It's the same way driving a Chevy truck or ford. They are both good but you get stuck on what you think is best. And yes I'm 6'2".
