what do we think on the price of this? what would be a ball park cost to get it trailered home 200 miles?

first larger tractor anything to be aware of on these models?

what would i expect to pay for a mower used for it?

Trucking is about 1.50 to 2.00 dollars a mile........

I paid $15,500 in September of 2019 for a new '19 model of the same tractor minus the backhoe (eMax22l), so it comes down to what value you place on the backhoe. Do you believe you have a need for the hoe? If not you can get the tractor and loader new for not much more money.
Regarding a mower, with 19 PTO horsepower you should limit yourself to a 4 foot rotary cutter or finish mower. Used ones are rare here.
So far (27 hours) I am very happy with the tractor for clearing snow, hauling gravel, dirt, and brush. It does a good job, but keep in mind it is a 22 hp tractor.

i want the hoe specifically, and i was talking about a belly mower, not a brush mower. any idea what the hoe costs separate? whats the difference between the l and the s?

 

[LittleBill21]

shovel do you feel the tractor warrants loaded tires? do you load tires on a tractor this small?

That is a decent price for the tractor w/ hoe.
Good luck finding a used belly mower (MMM) (mid mount mower). They are very specific to manufacturer and model. You could buy a new one from a Mahindra dealer, but be prepared to pay around $2K for one. 3 point mowers are much cheaper and easier to find used.

it was but i keep finding issues. since i can't inspect the machine in person, i think im going to pass which is disappointing, it appears the loader was taken off at some point incorrectly and bent every single hardline on the tractor loader. the lines are 600 dollars, and it appears i can't seem to buy them from mahindra them selves. between this , badly run and worn backhoe line which were connected wrong, and the battery being the wrong one of the machine. i feel as the machine had a hard life already, and generally when i see stuff like this, there is a strong chance the oil wasn't changed for the entire life of the machine either.

i was excited, but i think i got ahead of my self, and i was told due to corno, that alot of machines were expected to be put up for sell. i think im going to wait.

I think waiting is a VERY GOOD idea in these times!

Buy new when dealers cut prices towards the end of the year. May get a backhoe for cost??

do these things have titles? what is required to transfer the warranty? are the max's a better tractor then the emax series?

In Canada tractors do have titles, in the USA...NOT!

No there are no titles, the warranty stay with the tractor serial number, any dealer can look it up.

 

[LittleBill21]

what is the typical life expectancy on these motors? 1500 3000 hours? is 400h considered brand new?

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Depending how they are serviced, 3,000 hrs is easily achieved.

I use my Max26xl for little projects around the house, some brush hogging a few times a year, plowing snow, etc. Just normal rural living stuff, not a farm or anything. I have had mine for 4 years and average about 100 hours per year.

 

[LittleBill21]

tmcj im looking at the max's now seem to be the same price point almost. is there anything that you had issues or concerns with? i guess a 400 hour machine is still considered new, does anything else generally give issue before the 3k hours? i don't expect that much myself maybe 50 a year. im looking at 2014 models right now, trying to decide if i care about a warranty.

im struggling because im trying to buy this thing without seeing it in person...

Listen to your struggling mind. It’s telling you no deal.

Do a search on here for them. As with anything, there are some common issues. Mainly electrical issues like safety switches causing startup problems, moisture getting into the wire harness, etc. I've had those also, but they were a minor fix and it has been solid mechanically. I really can't complain otherwise. Like anything else if it is properly maintained it should be very dependable for a long time. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Mahindra.

The biggest thing I would say is to compare the specs and options. PTO horsepower and lifting capacities for FEL and 3 pt can vary greatly over the compact models. When I was shopping, it seemed like the larger the model, they were simply built better, more like a tractor than a lawn mower. Just one example, things like the steering system and linkage was far better on the 26xl. It really is an eye opener to go to a dealer and really look over the smaller models compared to the 26xl. There are lots of significant improvements as the size increases.

Personally, I wouldn't buy anything unseen and not thoroughly gone over.
