common sense has kept me out of the ditch so far. I am looking for actual tractor specs...if they exist. Thanks !!

Does anyone know how much weight a Max 26 can safely tow around the farm? I have a dual axle dump trailer I want to move around the farm that weights 2000 lbs empty using a 3 pt quick-hitch with ball mount attachment. I would never be crazy enough tow it loaded, but would like to move it around...

Good to see lots of Iron fully loaded and functional. Thanks guys!!

Hay Dude: Did you buy an Iron Bull from Best Choice? I am looking at them and was wondering what you decided on. Looks like MysteryRoche had some bad luck with that manufacture, and it seems like quality control at the factory was lacking in 2021. Im hoping they fixed all that by now.

Never understood why modern tractor designers are still putting the fuel filler cap on the hood. Its the worst place they could pick. Some MFGs have figured it out but not mine.. I lay a board across the FEL arms put the can on the board and use a siphon to transfer the fuel. It works ok but...

I added my new tractor to my homeowner's policy. My agent switched me to a new company (that had more more competitive rates with slightly more coverage), and the premium reduced by ~$200 per year. After adding my brand new tractor to the new policy (@$200 rider) my new homeowners policy cost...

No Rotella T-6 at Wally World, TSC, or Rural King in Western Pennsylvania either. If the stores get stock, they sell out immediately. Had to buy from Amazon at slightly higher cost. Retailers cant sell the products if they cant get them to the stores. Something needs fixed or everyone is...

Since it already broke at least twice, its time to pay a Professional Welder to do the repair. Ask your dealer to recommend someone and also call around. I would start by calling a few machine shops and weld shops. It not a complicated Weld Job...but needs to be done right.

Thank you Grandad4 and RickB. I live in PA and will be giving Messicks a call. They are only 50 miles away, so that is a stone throw for getting parts. I had no idea that ARPS is now Ameriquip. Ameriquip made a lot of the implements for my Mahindra and their products are stout and well built...

I was also concerned about blowing the line off the fitting but gave it a try. Internal radiator pressures are typically less than 20 PSI (based on the cap pressure rating), and barbed connectors in that size range can hold up to 100-125 psi (based on my air compressor lines) so that seemed like...

Well, thanks to all who responded. UPDATE: Access is very difficult with the FEL Frame, so I cut the By-Pass hose in the center rather than try and disconnect the hose by the firewall. None of the prestone T fittings would fit (to large) so after draining the rad, I spliced the line with a...

Do any of you vintage iron owners know where I can find parts for a 1968 Kubota 25HP KUFD210 / L245DT Tractor Dozer ? The Tractor Badge says it was built in Osaka, Japan and entered the US through the Port of Compton, California The Plow badge says it was manufactured by ARPS Division of...

Clay soil can be stabilized by the addition of small percentages, by weight, of lime, thereby enhancing many of the engineering properties of the soil and producing an improved construction material. You will need to mix the soil and lime with a Tiller and then recompact the grade. It will add...

That is a great idea!! I may copy and mount the pipe on my 3-point tool carrier with the shovel and rake. What is PVC pipe diam and length and what length of chain fits inside.

I have a 2019 Max26 XLT. The Loader was made in Korea. Pics attached for comparison with yours. I have 200 hrs on the machine and most work has involved loading topsoil and gravel for landscaping and driveway work. The Korean Loader has performed flawlessly. I did replace the filters and...

Need some advice from all you experienced mechanics... First time Rad Fluid flush is due for service on my Mahindra. The Petcock is impossible to access due to all the framing and sheetmetal. The manual instructs to remove the ~1/2" OD hose that runs from the radiator to the back of the block...

First time Rad Fluid flush is due for service. The manual instructs to remove the ~1/2" hose that runs from the radiator to the back of the block to drain the fluid. The FEL frame blocks access to the hose clamp and we all know how those hoses like to "stick" once they have been clamped and...

I have a Max 26. Very happy with both the tractor and dealer support. I would have no trouble selling my tractor to anyone based on its past performance and workmanship. The Max 26 and above have minimal troubles. The smaller ones seem to have some bugs. Each series is built in a different...

The fuel filler port on my Mahindra is on top of the hood in front of the dashboard. That has to be the absolute worst location for this component because any spillage ends up all other the hood, and its very awkward to hold and extend a 5 full gallon fuel jug in that position for several...

I have an update to this thread I will share based on my experience in October when I tried to buy a mulch kit to get rid of the leaves. Mahindra has 2 mulch kits with the exact same part number for the Max 26 (65M) MMM. S# MAX26M01157. One kit has only the weldment closure plate and the 3...

Anyone ever have success ordering from the Mahindra On-Line Parts Catalog and e-Commerce Site ? I went through the entire process, set up an account, selected parts from a fantastic parts schematic and part number/labeling system, set up the Credit Card Payment option, and ordered the part. I...
