I agree. Inquiring minds want to know! ...and see tractor ****!Well, did you buy the 1526? We need to see more of them on here.
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....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:
A pole saw will fix the limbs hanging down & is safer than removing the ROPS SAFETY 1stHello 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.

Here's your tractor ****!I agree. Inquiring minds want to know! ...and see tractor ****!
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.
