Beyond the test, he compares the loader directly to the Kubota 2501 on lift height and capacity, mentions the $5,000 price difference and seven-year drivetrain warranty, and shares light ownership notes on usage hours and dealer experience. Best for buyers cross-shopping the 1526 against the Kubota 2501.
Posted by the Willbillys channel, presenting as a private owner sharing hands-on experience from their own small property.
The video shows the attempt; the loader is rated for 1,560 pounds at the pins, but the owner reports being very pleased with the loader's capacity after testing it.
The 1526 loader lifts more weight than the Kubota 2501 but does not lift as high. The owner paid about $5,000 less and gets a seven-year drivetrain warranty.
The owner averages about 10 to 12 hours a month, which fits his needs on a 4-acre property.
