Progressive is very good.

I restored what I could find. FlyinFools pictures must have been kinked or something because I don't find them.

This is the Emax 22 that I'm trading in. Since these pictures were taken, I added a ballast on the back that adds about 900 lbs of weight to the rear to help with lifting. Still wasn't enough though. The new ones has loaded tires and I'll also use the 900 lbs ballast if I need to. This one is only rated to lift 900 lbs., the new one is rated at 1560 lbs. Should be much better. I didn't buy the mid mount mower for the new one as I never use it to mow. I would be nice to have it as a backup but I couldn't see spending another $5600.00 for a mid mount mower when I have a 62" zero turn that I mow with and a 380X John Deere with a 54" deck that I can use for a backup. This was a great little tractor though,. Have owned it for about 4 years and never had any problem at all with it.

Yes, it has a PTO. My old one, the Emax 22 had a PTO also. Only time I've used it is for a post hole digger and for a sprayer.

When I started in the stairlift business, I bought a smaller Mahindra EMax 22 with a loader. I use it primarily for unloading stairlifts off semis at the end of my 450 ft. driveway. I typically order 5 lifts at a time. 5 lifts weigh right at 1000 lbs. They used to ship them on two pallets but recently changed that and now they come on a single pallet. Even with a 900 lb ballast on the rear of the EMax 22, it was more than a little scary lifting that 1000 lbs off the rear of a semi. It would work but you had to be very careful to make sure that you were as level as possible and go very slow. More than once I've had one of my rear tires come off the ground and even when a tire does not come up, you can tell that you are overloaded. So, I finally broke down and bought a slightly larger tractor. I found a great deal on a new 2021 Mahindra 1626. Loader lift capacity on the Emax 22 was 900 lbs. This one is 1560 lbs. I had the tires loaded with Rim Seal (beet juice) and I will also still have the ballast box that I used on the Emax so I should be good to go. Ended up buying it from a dealer about 5 hours away in Mt. Pleasant Mills, PA and they are delivering it so it won't be here until next Tuesday but I'm really looking forward to it. Bought it there because I got a fantastic deal and a great price on my trade,. Of course it's also coming with a set of 48" forks. Another advantage of this one is that it uses the skid steer type quick attach so it will be much easier to swap between bucket and forks. My Emax was not quick attach. My other few implements will work fine with this one. Bucket scraper, post hole digger, etc. This is not a picture of it but exactly the same tractor. They removed mine from the website when I bought it and before I downloaded the picture.
