Max26 vs Max28

[linuxman51]

Noticed some other nice things about the 26, the backhoe has hangers and locks for the 3pt link arms, and the drawbar has a doo-dad bolted to it that you can pin the lower 3pt links to, and everything stays nice and put when you're using the hoe, no more dragging stuff out and crawling/reaching around to put it together.

I do believe the 26 (or at least this one vs my 28) gets better 'mileage', I put an additional 2 hours or so on it this weekend and it's doing quite well in terms of fuel utilization. Still do not like the seat setup at all.

My Mahindra is the eMax 22, so a little smaller than the conversation here is talking about, and I was a bit leery of the Tier IV too, but after having it for over a year I'm well pleased. A little smoke on start up is it, no smelly exhaust. There's very little fumes when I am operating it in the barn, which is the reason I went small size. This is the Daedong 3 cyl. engine. When mowing pasture all I get is exhaust heat, no diesel smell.

That is under the HP limit for Tier IV Final, so it's likely the same Tier IV Interim engine they have been using for a couple years. Most small tractors have been Tier IV Interim for the last 4-5 years or more.
