This problem sort-of existed before my previous post (about the tab breaking off of one of my spools), but since then it's been much worse. I did not take apart the valve body at any point, so I'm not sure what exactly happened with this. max26 loader control issues - YouTube I played around...

I was digging up some old tree stumps yesterday (we've had a fair amount of rain, so playing in the mud may be a little more accurate depiction), and one of the lines on my backhoe split. Specifically, the bottom curl line (the longest hose on the tractor). Initially, I thought it'd gotten...

I'll include a picture of what I'm talking about, but the end on one of the plungers for the FEL control broke off (had it not happened while I was using the tractor, I would assume something fell on the control, but that does not appear to be the case leading up to the failure). Talked to the...

Well, almost 2 years, it was picked up in july '15 after my max 28 was stolen from the dealership. I have to say, I miss my 28. I was a relatively early adoptee, picking the 28 up in 2012, I understand there were some running changes that bring the differences between the 28 and the 26 to...

anyone had a float come off the sender? loaded it up the other day to go help a buddy out, and noticed that I was almost in the red. no problem, stop at the gas station and hit'er with the good stuff... after about 3 gallons it started foaming out the top, and was just about overflowing full. I...

I've noticed over the past couple of work days that the loader control seems to be getting sticky on my max26 (~25 hours or so), I know it's supposed to 'hang' if you go all the way over on dump or up on the drop, but it's taken to requiring more effort than it did 24 hours ago. It was a similar...

probably going to shiv some sacred cows with this (per install process, not the lights themselves, although who knows on that). been getting home around 4:30pm lately, doesn't leave much time to hand the kid off, change, jump on the equipment and get anything done before it's dark too dark to...

As a preface: I have 13.5 hours on my max26, 10 of that has been clearing brush primarily with the front end loader after installing a toothbar. I've used the backhoe a grand total of about five times, including playing with it the night I brought the tractor home. It left a great impression by...

seems it may not be a bad idea, anyone make any or am I gonna hafta roll my own? ******* branches :thumbdown:

Was clearing underbrush with my max 26 this weekend and had a bit of a failure with the FEL. I was wondering, outside of possible damage or defect, what might cause this type of failure (and somewhat importantly, should I consider just upgrading all the hoses on the cylinders up front?). I'm...

Took a few minutes to drive around the property today (and get the hour meter up to 1 :cool2: ), check the new digs out, make sure it all works, etc etc... and discovered that while comfortable, this new seat design seems to be flat out terrible to opperate, or mine needs to be lubricated and/or...

This is for mahindra stickered attachments (although I welcome all suggestions :cool: ), What's the going rate for the 54inch tiller and either the 4 or 5ft box? And are these items worth the price in terms of build quality/durability? The tiller is not likely to get a heavy heavy workout, in...

Am I correct in "assuming" the 26 is essentially just the 28 with a different hp rating (different rpm)? The numbers all seem to match up otherwise. Any significant differences in the backhoe vs the 63A on the 'early' 28s? I get to replace my 28, and it seems like another used 28 is going to...

I suppose it can happen to anyone, and I reckon it's my turn :( Anyway, I didn't see a specific thread for stolen mahindra equipment, so I figured I would start one, maybe help some other folks out, maybe help me. I'd like to keep it relatively fact-based, and those affected (myself included)...

This weekend I hit my threshold for 'acceptable inconsistencies' with my max28 :laughing: Was helping a friend out in his back yard (residential, but he'd done an astronomical amount of damage and then let weeds grow for almost a year.. the poison ivy was 4ft tall!), mostly surface dirt work...

I'm approaching the 90 hour mark on my max28 (and considering it'll sit for weeks at a time before I have time to kick the tires, that's not too shabby for a year and a half), and suddenly had a problem two weeks ago.. hooked up the bushhog, ripped the top link chain loose, had to go repair that...

I'll preface my question(s) and issue(s) with this: I'm not particularly good with carbs. anything with fuel injection, I've got that, no problem, good to go. but carbs.. I understand the principles upon which they work, but apparently when the rubber meets the road they may as well be built...

I was going over the tractor yesterday changing the oil, greasing the various things I came across, and noticed that the battery looks to be... worse for the wear, so to speak. I've got a variety of things that have cheap batteries, expensive batteries, etc, and nothin' that looks like this...

In the midst of a bathroom reno back in Jan, I snagged a new to me welder (my other welder is a lincoln 135), quite a bit beyond my level of welding talent, but the price was beyond right. came with some alu filler rod, some 308L filler rod, a couple different tungstens, some new cups, the...

Me & the wife moved 'out of town' a little over a year ago, to a place that was nice, but not really maintained (both inside and out), and the old fence around the pool and the 'courtyard' as we call it, was old, falling apart, and occasionally the cause for dog escape-age. also, the only gates...

Seems to be a bit of a hard thing to nail down... I guess intended use comes into play as well.. I do not intend to use it to 'break ground', but it would be nice to be able to tear up some rough broken ground (i.e. I've been through the area already with a middle buster and need things...

Anyone else have any yet? I've got ~18-19 hours on mine, with a large part of that spent digging out bradford pears (for summary burnination) with the back hoe, and for the most part the tractor has been flawless. I have however noticed/had a few small issues. The wiring on the safety switch for...

:cool2: finally settled on it over the 25, although for what I *think* I'll use it for, the 25 would be fine, I figure a bit extra capacity to get me in a little more trouble can't be a bad thing. I'm definitely new to this tractor stuff & plan to do a lot of de-brushing and some grading in the...

I think it's an attachment of some sort, or maybe part of one would be more accurate.. I found it in the dirt at the back of my property. brush guard maybe? Also found a tiller/cultivator thing back there as well that needs some love, I'll get some pictures and see if it's worth spending time...

I've been reading and lurking a lot lately, looking for info/reviews in the sub compact/compact range of equipment (with a strong look at mahindra's recent offerings esp since there's a dealer ~8 miles away). Currently I'm ignoring ~3.5 acres of overgrowth from previous owners ignoring the 'back...
