Stopped by to look at the Mahindra 1526 today in order to compare it to the Kubota L2501. While at the dealership I also tested the 2538. Seems like a good upgrade in HP, weight and bucket size for just a few thousand dollars. Might just be in my head but it seemed to ride better too. So I figured I would do some research on TBN before making any decisions. Have a couple questions.
1. The 2538 engine is made by TYM. Never heard of them. I think I would prefer Kubota or Mitsubishi but just don't know. Worried a sub par engine might be why the 2538 is less than the 1538 with Mitsubishi engine.
2. The 2538 is only in HST which is my preference. PTO is independent but it seems like you have to push/pull/turn several levers/knobs to make this happen. Is this setup okay?
3. Read somewhere that there has been some leaking issues on the 2538. Have no idea if it is true or not but am interested in any issues concerns you have had with your 2538.
