Looking @ a 1526... Sad they are dropping it for the new1M25 ( although its bigger in size & more $$)
have a gc2300, 2nd yr they made it.. just need a little more power, & the 3 range is the big seller
only diff is id like to have a backhoe.. looked @ B2601. its nearly 8K more(with out backhoe) than a 1526
Suggestions ?

Not sure what you are asking? But you can't go wrong with any of them.
When I bought my tractor, I wanted a Massey and I had no interest in a Kubota, but once I started looking, the Kubota was just a bit more modern and refined. But the Massey is still a solid tractor. The new 1M brings those more modern features to the Massey now that the 1526 didn't have.

But if you are happy with the 1526, you should be able to find a good deal on one now that it is being replaced with the 1M. I wouldn't hesitate buying one. It is pretty much same powertrain as the new 1M, so no worries about future parts availability.

You need to go to AGCO web site as they are offering discounts on the M-F 1526, & they will be able to help you locate the 1526, & work with a dealer in your location as well as have one shipped to your dealer. These discounts I believe are only good till the end of the month. I don't know your location but the dealer that was close to me had 3 available all with fel's on them. Your dealer should be able to install a mid mount pto with a mower deck as well as remotes. The prices I saw for a M-F 1526 at my dealer were close to what I paid for mine new with a fel in 2018.
