2516 Gear w/Loader
Model Year: 2010
After replacing an old, tired 8N, this tractor fit the bill just right. It has plenty of power, and will handle most any 5 foot implement. The loader is quick on and off, and handles anything you need it to do. It is compact and will fit in tight spots. The power steering is wonderful, and shuttle shift is easy to use and convenient. I do recommend rear chains for traction in the slippery snow, but overall is easy on fuel, and power to spare. Also if you run without the loader, front weights are a must. Overall: Very reliable, and I have had no issues in two years. Mahindra is good quality at a reasonable price.
Pros: Well constructed and plenty of power.
Cons: No tool box.
