Re: the tractor keeps on growing...1529
I'm going to try and get a test drive of the Massey 1526 or 29 if I can justify the greater price. Will also try out the CK20, although I think it's a bit light on rotary cutter hp? Then go back an try the JD.

Re: the tractor keeps on growing...1529
I'm sure the 1529 would be nice to have, but the 1526 would do the job. I probably just need a reasonable FEL. Even one on a sub would do the job most of the time.
I think think the dealer has one 1526 left at last years price. Kioti is other brand where I can reasonably justify the price of a compact as well, but would have to move up a model to get a 3 speed hydro.
There is a possibility I might raise how much I'm willing to spend, but for now, the 1526 is the best deal around here. I'll try to drive it this weekend if it doesn't get sold.

Re: the tractor keeps on growing...1529
Pricing had been 16,000 with FEL, but the dollar exchange difference was supposed to cause that to go to 16500. Current rebate programs ended yesterday, so I have no idea what will be happening. Found cheaper deals far away, but shipping would hurt.
I still have a used 2012 1526 with 150 hours, FEL and rear wheel weights I will look at if need be. It would save me over 3 grand. Weather and family commitments have prevented me from driving the 2 hours to see it.
I feel with the 1500 series, you really get a lot of tractor for your money, especially with the incentives.
Oh well, the search continues.
