Your Welcome, if they don't have it I believe they will make it for you. A great source I found just be carefull, the cost adds up quick. I also sourced the USB and 12v chargers from them.

Monitor is mounted to the dash top, maybe you mean camera? Here is a pic of both. My neck is not so good either, big reason for front implements and rear camera for me. I only added a front camera to play with as it was made for both. If you do this make sure your rear camera is what they call mirrored, it keeps what you see on the monitor on the right or left the same as the right or left of your body as you sit facing forward on the tractor. It's important because a regular view camera will confuse his right and lefts. Hard to explain but turn around in your seat and you'll see your right side will change, a mirrored camera corrects that.
Another shot of the rear camera mount, I used my hazard sign mount for a no drilling solution. I still retain my hook for top 3 point arm. I relocated my sign(I have two, other stays with back hoe) to my receiver thingy.

What products did you choose for camera and screen?
This is exactly what I used, make sure to ask for a mirrored camera for the rear, seem to remember I did. You can spend more or less on other stuff, just don't fall for wireless cameras, they still need power wires ran to the camera so they are not truly wireless. Rear only kits are a lot cheaper, depending on monitor size. Oh... The camera cords given are long enough to do a motor home so be prepared to tie up some excess cable like I had to.

You sir are insane (but in a good way) Hah, and i thought I was doing something when I made a new, lowered seat pan on my 3016 so I wouldn't hit my head going in and out of the garage. That extra slot you made into the "World Domination Time Distortion Center", was for the Mahindra factory part install of the hydraulic top link control lever.
Thank you for the compliment :laughing:. Wait till it's done, but insane works for now. I really appreciate you telling me what that slot was for, you should have been my dealer... Lol. Sounds like a nice option I will never use, thank goodness !! Covers can be replaced that I cut, knew that before I fired up the saw. Highly unlikely I will ever part with Max so I will continue with the madness, sickness, and disease that I usually invoke on my new toys. It's difficult for me to remember it's just a tractor... But it's gonna be a pretty cool one of a kind tractor, I can live with that. It's hard to explain but when I first saw Max, that instant recognition of possibility hit me, I knew I could mod this tractor. That was lacking in every other color of tractor I looked at, and why Max suits my personality...

I think it is one of the most all around platforms a homeowner can have. There is little you should not be able to do with that machine....cut the grass, dig a hole, move dirt, pluck and hold things and blow snow. It is a lot of tractor for the price. I would have gotten one instead of the 16 if i didn't have to log in ground obstructed terrain where clearances might become a problem with a smaller machine. When my property is exhausted of firewood trees, I just may trade in the 16 for one of these. You made a very salient point of matching a personality to the machine. Lots of guys go into a purchase without this important consideration.

My neighbor has a Max and it's a nice little machine, very capable. To me the only weaknesses are small tires and low ground clearance, but that isn't a factor for everyone. I also sort of consider the generous loader and hydraulic specs to be a liability in such a small tractor, in the sense that you absolutely need to know what you're doing to realize the full potential. When you start doing wheelies (forward or reverse, or standing still) it's time to strategize....
When purchasing anything at this kinda cost level I feel everything relevant should be considered. I personally feel this is a very capable tractor for my needs, but yes, bigger is better in the tractor world. Where I live just outside a major city, I ran into having to drive to the country multiple times just to shop for a tractor. And guess what happens the farther you go into agricultural communities, the tractors definitely get bigger in size. I wasn't looking for a 500K machine, and dealer stock was limited to nothing in the SCUT/CUT class. "We can order you one, should be in around October".... This was in July. One dealer of a different brand, one I was intent on buying at the time, actually told me... "Ya, lots of farmers wives like those little tractors". I replied " well I might be a little land challenged, but that doesn't make me a woman !! They had zero product knowledge, and zero stock. I have great difficulty spending this kinda cash based on a picture in a brochure, consider me a touchy feely kinda buyer. I need to stand in it's presence and get excited about my purchase, Max spoke to me that day. But I still didn't just dive in, I actually told the dealer I just might drive him crazy before I buy... And I did. Unfamiliar with the Mahindra brand I used the time to compare everything on other tractors to Max. Ya, I weigh more, lift more, dig more, build like a brick ***thouse in this class. I coulda got hung up on that cup holder issue, instead I looked deeper, and here is the final say in my comparisons.... The Impliments !! Now check out the comparisons, team green, 47" snowblower with a plastic impeller, same cost as my 56" Mahindra, all steel with the coolest drive system I've found....
Hydraulic Shute control standard, electric, manual, or optional on other models...
62" Plow, bigger than anybody's in this class with standard hydraulic angling, no pins for me.
The subframe, yes it costs ground clearance but I am not just stressing my front frame rail like all others. It runs all the way to and ties in with the rear drawbar, and is built solid !! Besides I clear my path before I ever drive over it...
Sorry for the long post, it's just sometimes we suffer buyer's remorse. Those "I coulda got this or that for just a little more..." Or we didn't research enough, I can honestly 100% say, the more time I spend with Max, the more I actually appreciate what I got for the money. It only left me to add what I felt I needed after the fact, but that is what I truly enjoy, modding my stuff, and I think we all can enjoy what I've done, and what I will soon do... John.
