Whaaaa? Robert, hope you are able to resolve your issues.
Progress on my eMax 22... up to 46 hours on it now. Not a bit of a problem. Couldn't do much snow plowing using the rear blade since we didn't get much snow this season, actually only once. FEL has been really handy, I call it my diesel powered wheel barrow, although it is much more than that. Got clamp-on bucket forks for the FEL and they have been great for moving things around, like logs and large downed branches. Mowed pastures and some rough lawn with a 5' finish mower many times last summer and fall, handled that with no problems at all. Fuel use is more than I expected, but not much more. Takes about 5 gallons to mow 6 acres of pasture. My Ford Ns sip gasoline by comparison with bush hog type mower over the same ground. Did an oopsie with it last summer... forgot to lower the ROPS and went into the barn to retreive one of our old llamas that had died. Grazed it as I went in, and knocked a door header beam out at one end as I backed out. It was actually badly rotted so it had to be replaced. Not used to a tractor with a ROPS so one thing I have to remember, watch the height.
Overall very pleased with the eMax 22.

Let me interpret: "I love my Mahindra, best tractor ever, and I'm sorry for saying anything bad about Mahindra."
That's the way I read this anyway.reevesranch

Mahindra eMax 22 maintenance questions: Doing the 150-hour myself. 1. Changing the engine oil and filter, front axle and HST fluid is fairly easy until you get to . . . the frickin HST filter. Can't really get at it from below without disconnecting what appears to be a hydraulic hose and perhaps some linkage. Dealer says they have a little guy who can reach up there - must have it on a rack and a special filter wrench. One post said take the middle floor cover off, but on mine the height control for the MMM prevents this. Going either way will involve some disassembly that might lead to anything from lost HST fluid to a trip to the dealer. Any success changing this HST filter out there - for people with lower mid-range mechanical skills? 2. Also, Mahindra dealer emphatically says don't use 303 grade HST fluid, says use 606 grade, which no one has heard of (not even JD parts counter guy), so I bought the Mahindra fluid - $80 for 5 gal - any alternative at TSC/Orscheln/Farm King that meet the same spec?
By the way, after three months and 150 hours of mowing, excavating, logging and running a small watermelon farm, I am still convinced this was the best choice for my 30-acre spread. Awesome little subcompact.

Not sure reeve but have to do mine soon, the 50 hr. is due. I'll post back when/if I get it done. I do have a variety of filter wrenches but I too wondered about getting it past that hose.

Hey reevesranch,
When I did my 50 hour service I too struggled a bit with the hst filter, the trick is to pull the plastic drive shaft tunnel (hump on the foot deck) and then unbolt the drive shaft (no big deal one bolt to remove). This allows you to get the fan out of the way. Also don't forget the suction screen, iirc the manual states it should be replaced but gives no location or instructions. It can be simply cleaned and after break-in it will likely have collected some metal. It's located on the right side of the transmission, big hex bolt that unscrews.
