Drier climate? I'm in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, which is currently under water! Had 3.59 inches of rain Sunday alone...

Tinhack's suggested techinque worked! Now I have that clutch pedal strapped down!

Unfortunately I left my 870 clutch up (not depressed) for a couple of weeks and it is now "frozen" where it will not engage. I warmed the tractor up for half an hour but it still would not release. I banged it into first gear and drove it around a bit and that did not free it up. I was able to...

First dump in the Oregon cascades! Mahindra 26xl with full heated cab coupled to WoodMax SB 60. Chains on the rear and studs on the front.

I use both. I have installed tire studs on the front and have chains for the rears. I don't have really steep inclines to deal with, nor do I have concrete or asphalt to deal with in the summer (yet). I have some plywood protection for the garage where the tractor is parked. The snow pack where...

I have my brand new WoodMax SB60 installed and setup on my Mahindra XLS26. I seem to be having a bit of difficulty setting the blower cutting edge angle. Should the blower be level to the ground (as set on a flat garage floor) or should there be some degree incline as in some "down bubble"? We...

I have a Mahindra 26XL HST with cab. I am looking for recommendations for a rear mount PTO blower. I am hoping for an electric chute operator but not completely necessary. Blowing snow at my cabin in the Cascades of Oregon. Currently have a FarmKing 600 but I would like to take that back down...

Has anybody put an optima 25 red top into their max? Taking some rough measurements with the OEM battery and comparing the specs to the Optima specs it appears the space is too small for the Optima. Any other AGM battery to consider and does it fit?

I've seen some posts that folks are using a 60" brush hog behind a 26xl. I spoke to a dealer who said a 48" was the recommended size. I am looking at the Mahindra rotary cutter either in 48 or 60 inch and would prefer the bigger coverage. I am mowing grass with some small willow patches up in...

Wonder what folks experience is with Soft Cabs for the Mahindra. After one session of snow blowing I'm thinking I should have popped for the hard cab!

Re: Oil Filter Removal - SUCESS! The first tool I tried based on suggestions from the group did the job. The Harbor Freight "GripTech" with a 3/8 6inch extension. Didn't take a whole bunch of effort once jaws tightened around the filter. I lubed up the O ring well so hopefully the next change...

New 26xlMax owner here. Trying to do the 50hr oil and filter change. I cannot for the life of me get the oil filter off! Whatever gorilla at the factory put that thing on tight. I am unable to get a conventional filter wrench on it due to the limited space and can only get one hand on it to try...

Wondering if anybody has the Titan pallet forks with the skid steer attachment for their 26XL. Checking on the fit with the Mahindra skid steer attachment...

I know this has been discussed elsewhere in the forums; Does Mahindra make a "bucket level indicator" that fits the 26XL? I see plenty of "home engineered" versions but at the moment I don't have the time to put one of those together. The Mahindra is a new tractor to me with the HST. I am moving...

Just purchased a 26xl and was looking at canopy options. Anybody purchased a canopy product for a 25,26,28xl model? I am hoping to hang a soft enclosure on it for show blowing activity. Most of the soft enclosures seem to hang off the canopy.

Wondering what folks experiences are with "after market" replacement seats? I think I have sat down one too many times with a screwdriver in my back pocket! The OEM seat is pretty spendy (I tell the little woman my butt is worth it!). I see some after markets on ebay that "look" pretty good...

My 96 JD 870 just turned it's 500th hour. (Bought used with 60 hours). I have performed all the listed maintenance from the manual up to this point. I called a couple of local JD service shops about the 500 hr service. Both recommended some things outside of what JD calls for, ie; clean...

I need to replace the battery on my JD 870. I am torn between popping for an Optima or a JD Hibernator. The orignal Yuasa lasted 7 years. Maybe I should just get another of those???? The tractor sits most of the winter here in Oregon. Bob

After my first spray session of the year, I see my Hypro pump is leaking around the main shaft. How difficult is the rebuild on this thing? A new one lists for around $120,the rebuild kit $20. Bob

Smart guy that I am, jumped in the seat of my JD 870 with a screwdriver in my pocket. So I now have a nice ripped vinyl seat. The JD dealer's only fix is a new seat! Anybody got experience with those vinyl repair kits? Other ideas? JD makes a slipon cover for lawn tractors but not the compacts.
