It seems Mahindra is hitting several home runs in the subcompact market.
eMax 22/25 info?

Seems to be best bang for your buck. Some of the attachments are a bit expensive though. They quoted me like 7 grand for a backhoe, which I just couldn't justify.
Mahindra needs to do a better job with the website and marketing though. If they did a better job communicating they would sell even more units.

When it comes to tractor websites, John Deere is superior. I really wonder if the web designers at Mahindra have ever sat in a tractor.

I have a question guys. I and my dad have a new eMax 25 with a FEL and 60" MMM. My/my dad's tractor is a hydrostatic model. I took the tractor for a drive around our neighborhood - High gear range and high engine RPM. I noticed the tractor has a very loud whining sound coming from the transmission. The hydrostatic fluid level is where is needs to be in the sight glass in back. Do your eMax tractors whine when driven in the high range? I was just curious. Thanks for any input. I/my dad have/has had a chance to really get out and work with the tractor yet.

I don't have an Emax but Im sure one of the guys that do can give you the specifics but Hydros in general have a whine - especially in a higher gear. Both my Hydros "whine" normally - took a bit to get used to it coming from Gear drives.

My eMax 22 whines too. My Husqvarna hydrostatic lawn tractor whines also. Must be the nature of the beast. My 9N has a gear whine too, because of straight cut gears as I understand it. Hey anesthes, my dealer said a 'hoe for the eMax would run around $5 grand, $7k seems very high.

Yes, check a different dealer. I didn't buy one, but was told $5900 for the Max28 hoe.

Hrmm.. I think $5k is still too much for a backhoe attachment. When you figure an entire backhoe from harbor freight is under $3k

I'll probably pick up a used 3ph backhoe eventually, and make some brackets to mount to the tractor the same way the OE hoe mounts. I often see backhoes on craigslist for 12-1500, many PTO driven.

Those are certainly reasonable alternatives.
