so i guess you figured out i bought it?  :))

i absolutely have nothing bad to say about my mahindra max 26.

but you of all people will understand this. i have had enough of no cab, no heat. i nearly bought one from my local dealer a week or so back but someone bought it before i did. we did some sleuthing and found this one about 3 hours away. i went with s trailer and cash in hand, money talks.  nobody wants to see cash and an empty trailer drive away.

other than the wrong color of red i don't know why the guy wanted to sell it. immaculate condition, low hours, lots of factory warrant left. he was in the lawn care/landscaping business and had about 6 20-65 hp case-ih tractors in the stable. he complained about the electrical, electronic issues with them but sold the "one" that has never had an issue. he said the only issue he had was a leak in the fuel tank from the factory and it was replaced with no questions. if the ac works i will be golden. the extra lift height, lift capacity and hp are added bonuses.

anybody want to buy a  mahindra max 26 with under 300 hours? mama says i don't need 2!  :lol_hitting:

i can understand dealer issues rusty. independant dealer who only sell a few smaller lines are struggling. lack of new product to sell and  struggles with parts are killing them. i doubt that my dealer is going anywhere. they are a well estblished business that sells the full line of bobcat machinery, tractors and skid steers, mahindra tractors and some short line implement brands. their bread and butter is the heavy truck shop. about 10 bays with 2 heavy wreckers and line of used semi tractors for sale and rent.

their parts department is also well stocked. this tractor did not have the cruise control oprion.  some do, most didn't. they had 3 in stock, so it will get installed  today.

Very nice SK and age has nothing to do with wanting a cab. I would have really appreciated a cab when loading manure in the dump trailer or just moving dirt when it is windy and everything ends up on you and in your face.

They just got rid of the work horses the year my dad was born in '56. Where you still using them as a power source, or just riding?

Pulling logs off the hillsides and out of the valleys to sell to the local papermill. Hook a log to ol Frank slap him on the side. He'd slowly move a three foot white oak out to the woodyard.

Grandpa had a couple of dozers but the horses could beat them without trying. Plus just needed to hook up and unhook they did the rest on their own.
