I purchased a used 1528 with 400+ hours 2 years ago. Great little tractor. If my memory is good it is a 2005 model. Pull a 5 foot brush hog. Have a 6 ft box scrape that can bog down in 2wd but pulls good in 4wd. I am in North Carolina so have not had chance to move any snow since purchased.

I did not buy yet I'm getting all the info I can before pulling the perverbial trigger!! I am tempted to buy the Massey because I like the bang for your buck you get with the Massey dealer's after-market brands for all the attachments and implements I want. Whatever I decide on I'll post pics !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool2:

Hello Sir; I have a MF 1526, purchased new (May 2019) and have 560 +hrs on it.... home owner....Have FEL and rear blade for snow and a mmm 60" for lawn care....had a MF GC series (2015 new FEL/BH/MMM) great machine, but as time went on I found the tractor wasn't big enough...frame size for my needs..The weight and size makes it a very comfortable driving/ working machine for my needs. The folding ROPS on the 1526 is a poor design (leans forward when up position) and hooks on tree branches pulling then down toward you. Majority of the owners end up removing the ROPS. Take care and enjoy....

Sorry I just noticed this thread , I own a 2018 M-F 1526 & it's been a really great tractor& I do not have the mid mount PTO I just use the front loader & a Woods scrapper blade on the rear & the weight helps on the rear also & I do not see a need for a mid PTO & it's optional & I would rather buy another implement for the extra cost of a mid PTO to me the rear PTO is enough There are a few reviews here on TBN & it has highest rating you can get 5 *star & I would still rate mine a 5 star & the 1526 is easy to do your P M's on. The new 2021 is known as a 1526H & comes with quick disconnect for the loader would I buy one again YES!!!! & welcome to TBN ! If you want more info on the 1526H Check out videos on You Tube & a dealer called Vahrenberg/ Implements they have about 4 videos on the 1526 ,Also you can get a backhoe with the 1526 Thru AGCO & it's a partnership with Woods implements, But it will add allot to the cost of the tractor & I believe close to $ 8,000 US If You have not gotten a tractor yet feel free to reply & over all the 1526 is cheaper in price than the other tractors & Iseki has been making implements since 1920 that's where they got there start & AGCO has a great after market supply chain & I can still get parts for my 1959 M-F 50.

A pole saw will fix the limbs hanging down & is safer than removing the ROPS SAFETY 1st

The M-F 1526 is available with a backhoe thru AGCO partnership with Woods Implements as I did inquired when I bought my M-F 1526 in 2018 ,But I think it's cost prohibiting at a cost of around $8,000 & if you want to wait for the warranty to expire there is a company called Betstco/inplements who manufacture a backhoe for compact tractors & they have there own internal hydraulic pump with a spin on filter that works off the PTO & I've seen similar Iseki tractors same size tractor (Blue) using this same set up without issues & best part about these backhoes is they work off the 3 point & are shaft driven which is included in the price & it's not one of those dangerous PTO pumps that hook directly to the PTO where the lines can get pinched or the pump could come off & they do come with a warranty & a extended one also & the price is around $5,000 . So you owners of of older 1500 series tractors if you need a backhoe they are available.
