Read articles →An owner named Tom gives a candid 200-plus-hour follow-up review of his Mahindra Max 26XLT on a working farm with cattle. He covers what he genuinely likes, build quality, loader capability, maintenance access, wide stance, and two specific dislikes: the treadle pedal layout and bolts persistently working loose, with a practical thread-locker fix. Best for shoppers weighing the Max 26XLT against Kubota B-series on a budget.
An owner-operator sharing real-world impressions from his own farm after three years of use, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
The loader bolts keep working loose, costing about $100 in grade-eight hardware and requiring a tap to redo stripped holes. The paint also fades to pink over time.
Remove each bolt, apply thread locker, and put it back in. Working through all the bolts this way eventually stops them from coming loose.
The owner feels the quality is as good as a Kubota B series, but the Mahindra was priced much lower, making it an easy decision for the budget.
The owner dislikes the turning brakes being on the same side as the go pedal, along with the forward-reverse treadle pedal layout.
