I checked out the website yesterday and again today. I noticed in both videos posted on the site they keep using the sub-compact phrase. Even the description next to the video uses sub-compact phrase. I figure these guys work for mahindra so they must know a lot more than me about tractors. However, I understand that a sub compact is a category 0 PTO and some say "smaller than 26" rear tires". We all know these as the BX's, GC's, 2305 JD ect. Well none of the tractors listed in the Max lineup fit that description based on the previous models they are based on. Maybe they converted them into Category 0 PTO, but I cant imagine it. Arent these CUTs not Sub CUTs or am I mistaken? Hopefully I am mistaken because If I am not that is a very sloppy marketing campaign if they guys at Mahindra dont even know what they are building. :confused2:
Please help me find where you located the information stating that the sub compact tractor had category 0.
It is and alway has been my understanding that Category 0 has lift arm sockets of 5/8" inch and a top link of 5/8" dia sockets.
If that is true than non of the brands you have listed above will fall into a sub compact tractor category.
As to my understanding all of the machines you have listed above have 7/8" lower links and a 3/4 top link.
If this is true and all the other guys are calling their tractors subcompacts, why can't Mahindra do the same?
For reference...
