Is the Mahindra Max really a SCUT

[XSKIER]

Look here, at least they don't compare the max to a 50 year old tractor... Jack!

This really bugs the heck out of you, don't it. I would not be so worried about this crap. Lifes too short.
Um read your chart again, it also weighs less. Who Classifys these anyway?

What is to you?:confused3: This part of the forum is for buying, pricing, and comparisons. I believe this would fall under comparisons.

You need to read the chart again.

The B2620 is the lightest 1554.
The Max25 is 2 lightest 1693.
The Boomer 25 is 1702.
The 2520 is 1865.
The 1526 is 1873.
The CK20HST is 2138.

The max25 is lacking 10lbs of being in 4th place and 73lbs of being in 3rd place. I say it falls in the average weight of this size tractor.

I'll admit it bugged the crap out of me when they first came out with it, calling it an SCUT, and comparing it to the MF GC, BX, Deere 10 series etc.

But it seems they came up with a new classification. Mid-cut. And are now comparing it to larger tractors.

IT dont bug me as much anymore.

Bottom line is, as a shopper, you have to do your homework and look through all the smoke and mirrors and look at whats important to you. You can take 10 Tractors of 10 makes in similar size, and not a single one is going to be the best at everything. And I would bet that all 10 would have at least one spec or feature that was "best in class". But certainly not all specs.

The Max28Xl is a mid compact. They call the max 22 and 25 a sub compact.

Look at it again.

The Max28Xl is a mid CUT.

How can that be possible? The heaviest CUTs have 50hp or so, and can weigh upwards of 5k lbs. the smallest CUTs tend to have around 30hp, and weigh 2k+. The Max is nowhere near the middle of that range.

Methinks that "Mid-CUT" is intended to mean midway between a SCUT and a CUT.

I think that's what they want to say, but Mid-CUT means Middle-CUT, not "midway to CUT" or something along those lines. For comparison, mid-compact car means in the middle of the compact car category, not between sub-compact, and compact.

Mid-compact utility tractor... can we call it a MUT?
