Lost my 55 year old father-in-law to a flipped tractor years ago. He was using it to drag trees thru the woods to de-limb them. My 12 year old brother-in-law watched it happen. Sad story. Since then I have NEVER dragged anything with a draw bar. My advice, think of some other way to solve your...

REF TRACTOR TIE DOWNS AND HAULING: I moved everything on wheels in my 37 years is the shipping business. Lesson#1: No distance to too long or short to correctly secure your equipment on your trailer. You just don't know what can happen, even in your own neighborhood. Lesson #2: Stay away from...

If the frame and drive train are good, replace the whole cab from a junk yard. Ford mechanics have been doing this for years. You will NEVER be able to arrest the rust problem this truck has. That's why they call it cancer. Newer F450's have to have the whole cab lifted off for various reasons...

The stockers on my Mahindra 26MAX aren't that much better. Just drive around a while in 4WD on concrete or asphalt.

My father in law DIED using a tractor for logging. He was 56. He would grab a log with the 3pt hitch and pull it thru the woods to de-limb it. His son watched the whole thing happen in a flash. Tractor flipped over on him when the tree must have got snagged on something. I don't believe the...

I would NEVER buy another Mahindra.

I have turfs that came with my Max26 (my choice). After sitting, it takes a good half hour for them to start riding nice. They develop a flat spot from sitting and that's how long it takes to get them "warmed up". Another reason why I would NEVER buy another Mahindra.

If you're looking for a cheap fix you have already discarded all the options.

I'm amazed at the amount of responses to this post and the differing opinions. Batteries are like pizza, everyone has their favorite. Keeping them charged is the same, everyone has their idea of what is the most cost efficient and practical. It appears from all the posts, maybe a couple of...
