Mechmaxx good or bad

I did. Finally after 4 months got replacement parts to fix my mower that came damaged. Their customer support stinks and they have no parts available for what they sell in America. I had good luck with the stump grinder because that arrived in working condition so ordered an offset flail mower. I definitely won't buy anything else from them after my experience with the flail. You may have better luck. I got the headache I paid for.
Neighbor just bought a Mechmaxx backhoe after a tree fell on his backhoe last winter during a storm. Currently using it on an older TYM 45hp tractor and he seems happy with it so far. My only reservation is like the poster above has experienced, what happens if/when you need replacement parts? He's already gone through something similar on more than one occasion when he's had to replace hydraulic hoses and fittings on his TYM tractor since they aren't the standard size. He's still waiting for a hydraulic valve for the FEL that he's been dealing with more a couple months now. Had to ask me and my little BX23S to fill in a hole for him because he was still waiting for that valve.
One thing I've learned in my short time I've owned a tractor is buy once, cry once. If it's something you need to count on and don't want to be left with your pants down at the worst possible moment, think twice because there's no free lunch. There's usually a reason that something is so cheap.

Purchased a stump grinder from them about 6months ago. No problems with it, works as advertised. Have ground approximately 60 stumps with it behind the B2601. From 48" maple to 2" pine, it did just fine.
It's a pretty simple implement so I was OK with the made in China thing. I think all the brands are.
I haven't needed any repair parts yet so I don't have experience with after sale support.
The "sale" was the sketchy part for me. Had issues with the transaction and started to do research, only to find their physical address ends up at a strip mall out in California. Then the shipping company sent me an email with a link, but no info, seemed sketchy and they had the address wrong. A phone call fixed that.
In the end it all worked out and the grinder works good as well.
My cousin purchased a flail mower for behind his BX. Had it delivered to my place and I unloaded it and delivered to his place. No issues with it, it did take more time than expected to get it setup properly. It does seem to be working just fine, he's had no issues with it.
