Max 28 tool box

[Sfrankland]

This is a MAX 25? Where did you get the retractable seat-belt setup? Mine is constantly getting lost under the seat. -J

My Max 28 I had and the 25 I looked at buying originally both had the retractable seat belts.

Great question do tell; I was wondering that same thing. I added a lanyard to the buckle-end of the seat belt and secured it to the PTO lever; I kept the lanyard long-enough to allow the buckle to fit snugly. I reach for the lanyard at the PTO now. On the other end, I drape the belt over the arm rest or set it in the R/S cup holder.

This is a solid idea as well. No arm rests for me, but the lanyard is a great idea. I'll be honest and say I'd wear my seat belt more often if i didn't have to fumble with finding it.

And TBT... what is the cup holder you speak of? I didn't think Mahindra knew what they were.....

I'm thinking of a 3016; not sure what the differences in the tractors are...no cup holders on the Max 28?

I use the "cup-holders" to hold pins, nails, gloves, rags, and other small items.

My armrests are a dream!

Not sure about the 28, but the only cup holder on my 25 is between my legs.

A couple white pine 1X4s (on end & side by side) easily slides under the seat (with minor milling) and stays-put, to form a rectangle protrusion which can be shaped into a cup-holder or small center console using 90 degree 1X4s and screws.

A 13" L assembly should protrude forward and out 4" while not interfering with operator functions.

When/if I get my tractor back, I will take and post the pics; and spend less time on the internet.....

I'd be interested in seeing what you cooked up. I've been looking at different clamp on style options for a while now. Best I've found so far is at Duluth Trading Co. They call it the robocup. Looks pretty sweet.... Link below.

Well this is what I came up with to do the cup/beer holder for my Max 25.

Looks good! I had to laugh while reading the string.... Any carbonated beverage that goes flat in any cup holder is simply not being drank fast enough..... am i right?

Has anybody tried to fit the 3016 fender extensions on the max 28. When I went to the dealer this week the fenders look similar in size but I never took measurements?

Hey Sfrankland love your solution for a toolbox holder on your 3616...how did you attach the piece of sheet metal to the tractor and where did you attach it to? Thanks for the GREAT idea!!!

I picked up a small stainless box from HB. Made a platform that goes in between the 4 inside bolts on the rops. Still working on way to add a cup holder and parts try as a all in one unit. But it works great and no modifications to the tractor. Seat does not hit even when all the way back.

OK, that's really a lot nicer than the $10 Red Painted tin foil "tool Box" I slapped on and then zip tied a cup holder to the ROPS. The Box supposedly was made in the USA.
