Any Problems with Max 28XL?

[mitchash]

I bought my Max 28 XL Hst in 2014, with loader, backhoe and mid mount mower deck. I've been very happy with the tractor. I haven't had any real issues with it but I only have just over 100hours on it. The only problem I have had was it would quit on me, turned out to be a dirty fuel filter (bad fuel?).
I was wondering how other people have made out with there Max 28s? Any issues, problems? Any preventive things to do?
Thanks

There is a known issue with a solenoid in the fuel system I believe, which will cause it to randomly shut down. I am pretty sure there is a bulletin on this. My neighbor had the problem with his Max 28.

Can you give me more info on the bulletin for the fuel solenoid?

My Max 28 would start then shut off. I replaced the fuel filter and it seemed to help then it acted up again. I changed another fuel filter and it's been running good since then. This last time I didn't noticed the filter or bowl being very dirty. I see there are a lot of threads on the fuel solenoid failing. I'm wondering if that's been my problem too? I have a lot of work for my tractor this spring/summer and don't need any problems. Is there another fuel filter on the tractor? I know on the Kubotas at work there are two inline filters one before the fuel pump and one after. Thanks

Be careful not to push the screen in the fuel fill neck into the fuel tank with a long funnel or spout on fuel can. I've run into that issue several times. The screen will roll around in the tank and intermittently block the fuel flow to the filter causing the engine to not throttle up past idle. :confused2:

My tank screen is still intact. We ran it today with no problems.

My Max28 is acting up again, I would like to look into replacing the fuel shutoff solenoid. I tried to search on here but I must have messed it up because I couldn’t find anything on it. I was able to find my old post in my profile. Can anyone help me with finding info on the fuel solenoid, part number, service bulletin, threads, etc. ? Thanks
