Hello everyone,
I really like this community, it has been a tremendous source of knowledge.
-This web is part of my daily reads-.
We have a 2016 Mahindra Max 26xl with FEL and Backhoe.
The tractor has worked tremendously well, I have been able to complete multiple personal and family projects, as well as help some of my neighbors.
At the time we acquire the Max, the tractor we really wanted was the Kubota B2650, but I got a great deal on the Mahindra.
Allow me to say that I really don't like the PTO engagement in the max, my max is an 8x8 shuttle shift.
It has a live PTO, no middle of the ground/halfway engagement clutch, nada. -But love the shuttle shift but not the pto.
So far we don't have a tractor-driven finish mower, we do have a flail mower but that doesn't work that well for the front yard, which is .5 acres.
I really tire and sick of the push mower.
These are my needs and wants:
Here the options I see so far:
The finance committee will have a saying in any and every option.
Things I do with the machine,
I was also considering downsizing to a Deere 1025R, this due to the mid mower quick connect feature.
Please feel free to ask any questions, all ideas and opinions are welcome.
Thank you.

I really tire and sick of the push mower.
These are my needs and wants:
- Need ride-on mower / mid mower or something along those lines.
- Want Independent PTO
- Want an early birthday present, if possible.
Here the options I see so far:
- Buy an entry-level zero-turn mower, swallow the direct pto thing, and be done.
- Buy mid/finish mower for my current tractor, might not be the best option due to the pto engagement.
- Sell my current tractor and get the machine I really like/want, TLB + Mid mower with independent pto, cruise control, couple of rear remotes, "The Big Kahuna" (Kubota B2601 or LX2610, Deere 2025r, etc).
The finance committee will have a saying in any and every option.
Things I do with the machine,
- land clearing (flail mower)
- Grapple work (branches, trees, trunks, etc)
- Dig trenches,...
- Anything involving the tractor, for my own amusement and stress relieve
I was also considering downsizing to a Deere 1025R, this due to the mid mower quick connect feature.

Thank you.
