- Mahindra 1538 with backhoe, Massey Ferguson 156 gas
I've been struggling to find a new tractor to purchase (30-40HP range). Talked to a salesman that didn't have any tractors available and had no ETA on when new ones might come in. Anyway, he does have a 2016 Mahindra 1538. It's 38HP with loader and backhoe. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this model or just opinions on Mahindra in general? There are two Mahindra dealers within 50 miles but they are both small and have no inventory. Wondering about reliability, parts availability, and if it will hold its value? Any opinions welcome. The way the tractor market is I'll have to decide quickly. Already missed on a good used Kubota because someone else got to it first. I had reached the owner within hours of it being listed. I'm not opposed to doing maintenance myself but have limited time and little interest in doing major repairs on my own.
