    Max hydraulic series hoses

    I recently blew a hose on my Max 22 loader and called the local dealer. Hose was back ordered so I went to Napa. 42 bucks and far better quality. I’m sure others have posted this fix before, but just in case, here you go again.

    MAX 22 4 years in

    It has been 4 years since I got my Max 22 delivered and I thought some additional thoughts were in order. The Bad first. 1. The paint does fade, not as bad as the older ones, but it is inexcusable in my opinion. 2. Front U-Joint cover design is poor, keeps coming loose. 3. Odd noise from...

    Strange Noise in front end of Max 22

    A week or two ago I noticed a strange noise when I was in 2wd and going at max speed. I went on vacation and was using the tractor today for the first time and pinpointed where the noise is coming from, or where it sounds like it is coming from. There is a shaft that goes to the front axle...

    60" Finish Mower Problem

    Fired up the mower this weekend only to find it smoking like a chimney. I greased the 3 spindles before starting only to find one bearing was ceased up in one spot. I got a wrench on it and was able to break it free and greased it again after turning it several times. Ran like a champ. Never saw...

    Finished hand controls for paraplegic

    Just finished the final version of my hand controls. Took an implement handle off of an old Deere and bent it. The shaft fit perfectly on my old shaft so I just ground off the old pipe fitting control and slid this on with a bit of grinding. Painted it up, dipped the handle in rubber four or...

    Work lights on my Max 22

    I ordered some 18w LED lights I plan to mount on the front of my tractor. I found I did not have nearly enough light while blowing snow and I do use them with the loader from time to time. I am going to take some solid stock steel and weld it into an upside down u that extends 6 inches beyond...

    Mahindra cars are coming

    I was talking with my dealer today when he dropped by my office to do some business and he was saying Mahindra cars are coming to the USA. When he was in India recently he said that is the word he is getting, so he is pretty excited for the future of Mahindra both as a tractor company and as an...

    Max Series Snowblower and soft cab attached

    Well, I am ready. Got my snowblower and soft cab for my MA 22 Wednesday night and everything is all set up. The photo of the cab looks a lot more wrinkly than it really is, the light above tends to bleach it all out too.

    Anyone boght a snowblower for a MAx series tractor? Is there a lot of items to bolt on to mount the brackets? What is a good price for one if anyone knows?

    Looking for wheels for my RFM made by Kodiak. Any Suggestions?

    I have a RFM made by Kodiak with 8" x 4" solid tires, which I want to replace with pneumatic or semi-pneumatic tires. Anyone know of a link where these might be available? I've found 10" but no 8 inch sized tires and wheels. The current wheels and tires stand 8 inches tall and are 3 7/8" wide.

    RFM gearbox blowup for MADMAX12

    I attached this image since the RFM available with the Mahindra RFM did not come with the gearbox parts and blowup.

    RFM Gear Box Lubrication from Mahindra

    Madmax and I both bought RFM from the same Mahindra dealer and they told both of us he put some kind of gel lubricant in the gearbox, which he said NEVER has to be replaced or replenished. This sounds strange to me. He also told me the level will appear lower if checked and that it will expand...

    what is the goiing rate?

    What is the going rate for a full fluid and filter change on a 22HP Max? I am guessing no one has a Max 22 ready for service yet, but I am sure it is close to the same as maybe an 1816 or the like.

    MAx 22 service Manual

    I asked my dealer a couple of times about buying a service manual and he said he couldn't get any at that time. How long before these become available? I always have service manuals on any powered equipment I have and I feel naked without one, and that is scary!!

    Finish Mower Manufacturer, Who is doing so??

    I have the Mahindra finish mower, which I am told is manufactured by Kodiak. I looked at the Sitrix and it appears to be exactly the same, but their site says it is manufactured in Italy. I looked at the Northern tool finish mower and it exactly the same as my Kodiak, including the manual, which...

    Ratchet Rake is one heck of an attachment!

    Got a ratchet rake today to clear some of my woods to increase my lawn. What a versatile tool. It rips saplings out rather easily and does a really nice job in grading the ground.

    Finish Mower documentation

    Mahindra Mowers are manufactured by Kodiak and once again my dealer did not have the manual. Mahindra sent me a PDF of the manual. I was comparing the mower to thers on the net and noticed Northerntools.com has mowers with their name made by Kodiak. If you need manuals Northern tools lists them...

    Quick Release Bucket

    Has anyone found a quick release bucket attachment for a Mahindra? I have the Max 22 with a 50" bucket, loader 202 if that helps.

    Dealer  Kudos to Tripp's in Maine

    As many of you know I bought my Max 22 about a month ago, with a MMM and FEL. The MMM was nice, but it really is a pain to do any dirt work with. I did try the mower out at my camp and thought it did fine. I contacted Ryan at Tripp's in New Gloucster, Maine and he swapped out straight up the...

    Pat's Easy Hitch System

    I ordered Pat's Easy Hitch System for my Max 22 yesterday after struggling with my 500# ballast box. Anyone have one installed on their Mahindra? I'd love to see some photos if you do have it.

    How old is old for Deisel??

    I bought a 15 gallon barrel today and a hand pump which makes it easier to fuel my tractor since I am a bit short and the fuel tank is up high. My Max 22 sips fuel so the 15 gallons should last a very long time. How long before it gets "old" like modern gasoline?

    Added a weight box today

    Wow, what a difference in the Max 22's ability to dig dirt with the weight box. The box weighs about 120 pounds I am guessing, and I added 320 pounds of concrete with I am guessing 50 pounds of water, which brings me to about 500 pounds. It is like night and day digging into the bank I have out...

    Ballast  Max 22 How much ballast in the box?

    The manual says 2315# max on the rear axles. I'll be using the loader moving loam and sand from time to time. Should I divide the weight of the tractor and FEL loaded by two to get the base weight on the axles and then add the weight to the box to bring it to somewhere around the 2315? If so...

    What type of coverage to place on your tractor

    Some of you folks probably need to have insurance on your tractors. Farm polices have coverages I am not familiar with since I do not sell that type of coverage, but many of us are regular homeowners who think their home policy will cover their tractor may find themselves out of luck. It will...

    Mower documentation

    MY dealer said there is no documentation that comes with the mid mount mower. Is this true? How am I supposed to know how to remove it or repair it without ripping it apart? This is the 53 inch mmm for a max 22.

    Hooks on FEL

    I would like to have kooks on my FEL so I can lift things that won't fit in the bucket. Is this taboo? I've seen some FELs with hooks. Second, where would I get the hooks to weld on the bucket? I've been looking all over the net and can not seem to find what I need.

    0% doesn't always mean 0%

    Just an FYI on the Mahindra financing. I thought I was negotiating with the intent of taking advantage of the 0% for 5 years. After all was said and done, I learned I needed to write a check for that privilege. I ended up going with the regular financing with the intent of refinancing with my...

    Broke down and did it today

    Well, I did it. I finally decided on a leftover 1816. The dealer says it is exactly the same as the max series and will take the front mount snowblower, but is 18hp instead of the 22for the max. Since I will only do mowing and light loader work and snow blowing I felt the price savings was...

    Buying Advice  2006 JD 2210 information wanted

    I looked at a JD 2210 with a belly mower and FEL, 256 hours, 2006 at a dealer. Asking price is $10,200. Any opinions on the tractor and price? Also, I could not find what the bucket is rated for and would appreciate any input anyone might have on this. The tractor is clean as a whistle with not...

    Price Check  Mahindra Max 22

    Has anyone actually found a MAX 22 or Max 25 series Mahindra yet? I think the dealers are sick of people asking because they aren't even returning inquiry calls it seems.
