Help with new purchase.
I took a 120 mile ride yesterday to get a first hand look at the new 1526 MF. No dealers have them yet so I found a man that had bought one and would allow me to come to his house to see it. I have looked at the Kubota 2320 hydro, Mahindra 2516 Hydro and Gear , New Holland 1030 and a used 1110. I really like the MF it has a higher lift height then all the rest I have seen. The unit is larger then all the rest also. Larger is good sometimes but I do alot of space restricted work mulching and stone walls and such. This was a problem in the past when I had a TC33D very tight quarters when doing fencing or mowing. I like all four of these tractors to be honest. Prices are as follows with tractor, loader and R4's.
Massey 1526 $13.800
Mahindra 2516 hydro $13.700 Gear $12.300
Kubota 2320 hydro $ 13.500
New Holland 1030 (2010) $ 15.200 Used 1110 (2007) with 15 Hrs traded for larger tractor by Horse farm owner (wife wanted larger unit) "No pun intended" $12.250
I don't understand why the 1030 is so much more. It is 28hp but also the smallest of all the units. I do like this feature for my concerns about getting in and out of spaces. I would like to know what you think if you own one of these units I am ready to make a purchase after a long wait for a house to sell. Scaper
