Well... after all said and done we now own a Mahindra 2555. They bought back the 2538 and we paid some of the difference in the upgrade. The difference between the 2538 and the 2555 is night and day. The 2555 has a lot more useful features, like load sensing and 3 sensitivity settings for the hydro pedals, and is built much heavier. The operators station is much more comfortable, but the drive by wire hydro pedals and throttle take some getting use to. And the lifting capacity is crazy. The log in the picture is a Red Oak that is 26' long and 23" in diameter, its somewhere in the range of 3500-3800lbs.
As far as Mahindra goes, in the end they took care of us, but getting to the end was a bit of a battle.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you now have a tractor you are happy with. It does have a heck of a loader lift capacity.

I have to go lift something with my grapple now. That is awesome!

They must have some large cylinders for that kind of lift capacity. I don't know another tractor of that size that could do that. It's really an impressive photo and a happy ending to your adventure.
I was afraid to try to lift to full height. That little 550lb blade was not enough ballast. The rear was very light. I could push down on one side of the log and a rear tire would come off the ground.
