Now your in for a lot of fun whether it's snow or grass. Nice tractor.

Picked it up from a dealer in Winchester NH Gary's Mahindra. Real nice couple own it. Great dealer has been in business a lot of years. Seems to be doing really well with the Mahindra brand, has a new facility being built next door. Just really nice people to work with. Not pictured but on its way is a 5' box blade too.

Got some play time pushing back and moving around the snow banks our plow guy left. So much fun. Even got called out for a no heat call, as soon as I got back climbed right back on the seat

Before long there was no more piles to move lol. Next weekend I'm off call and can go move manure out of the horse paddocks. Never thought I'd say I can't wait to move horse poo lol

Nice machine. You'll love the Max - my old 25 brought me 4 years of joy and was very useful. It almost gets frustrating when you get your initial work done and have no more dirt or snow to move. That's when I start building jumps for the kids and their dirt bikes!

So far so good, we sure love having this little tractor around. Cleaned the rest of the horse manure out of all the corrals. What used to take all day maybe two days was done in under an hour. Popped a bunch of large stones out of the ground (trip hazards) for the horses. This little tractor punches above its weight lol! Mahindra did well designing the Max. My fiancé finally hopped in the seat and helped me out! So glad we decided it was time for a tractor, and also pleased with all the Max can and does do!

Isn't that an amazing feeling? When you put a $/hr estimate on the value of your personal time, it is really a great investment having a tractor! And your back is usually happier as well!

brasco426 · Apr 10, 2016

Absolutely! There's no way I could have done all that today without it, no way. No buyers remorse here, I'm just lovin it more and more. Some of the rocks we were popping up out of the ground were deceiving just how big they were. Nothing against the other brands but the Max for its size, weight, and capability is a stout contender no doubt.

Pleased to hear your happy with your tractor Brasco426 you'll have a smile on your face for a long time every time you use it.

brasco426 · Apr 10, 2016

Here's a pic of some of our horse rings and doing some spring cleaning in them. Man my fiances Gypsy Vanner can poop lol. He was hard at work making a pile all winter long lol. It's going to be so much easier having a tractor over the ol manure fork and wheel barrel!!!

My wife wanted a new spot for her bee hives. She wants them in an area I had to flaten out a slope and move an old stone wall. I used the L39's hoe for that work, but did some lawn damage moving the machine around, abit in a small area. To finish the job, I used our Max28.

I have added another 135 Lbs to the counter weight, bringing the total machine weight up to 3200lbs. Even with smaller tires than the L39, and having so much extra weight added for ballast, the Max28 does not rut up the property anything like the L39. The Max28 is good for getting in the barn, cleaning paddocks, and doing light to medium digging and grading. Once I get the bucket cylinders from the 1526L on Tte Max, it will dig almost like a tiny Skid steer, except it has a good 3pt hitch and PTO also. It is proving to be a handy little tractor, stronger than my old Kubota B7200, but not much larger.

Nice Tractor, I am very pleased at the power of this line of Mahindras.

Don't forget to check your lug bolts and loader mounts @ 20 hr.

brasco426 · Apr 11, 2016

I use my craftsman 3/4 drive torque wrench. I have swivel sockets that I use with a short extension. Makes life easier. 15/16 or 7/8 is the size. 85 to 90 ft lbs.for the loader mounts. :thumbsup:
