They both have the same engine made by Mahindra. Here are some specs on HST model's from TractorData. The 2538 is also cheaper. I must be missing something. It is kinda odd that the 1538 looses a lot more HP from Engine to PTO than the 2538 does. I am trying to decise between one of these and a Kubota L3901. and the 2538 would be the cheaper of the three by several thousand.
