Read articles →A dealership walkaround from someone who has sold predecessor models, so comparisons to the 1626 and Max 26 carry some weight. Covers standard features (skid steer quick-attach, M multi coupler, start assist, three-range hydrostatic, cruise control, dual-pedal HST), explains why the 23 and 26 hp versions differ only in PTO output, and includes a brief drive. Best for shoppers deciding between the two variants or comparing against older Mahindra models.
Posted by the J5 Tractors channel, where presenter Cody Johnson identifies himself as a tractor dealer, making this a sales-leaning walkaround rather than an independent owner review.
No difference in capability. Horsepower is done through fuel delivery, the engine, wheels, tires, and loader are the same. The 26 hp version outperforms the 23 only when running a shredder, tiller, or other PTO-heavy implement.
A three-cylinder Mitsubishi diesel, the same engine used in the Mahindra 1626 for years. It is described as reliable, good on fuel efficiency, and a proven powerplant.
The only thing it cannot do is move large round bales with the loader. It is built for maintaining smaller properties, not feeding cattle or heavy bale work.
If the tractor will not start, the display shows whether the PTO is in gear, the brake is not pressed, or the gear shifter is not in neutral, so you know what to fix.
