Read articles →A dealership walkaround comparing three side-by-side units, John Deere 2038R, Mahindra 1626, and Mahindra 1640, with specific focus on mid-mount mower deck construction (stamped vs. fabricated), hood and body material (steel vs. plastic), weight figures, loader lift capacity numbers, and the 1640's Tier 4 engine without DPF/DEF. No seat time or field demo, but the spec-by-spec breakdown is methodical. Best for shoppers weighing Mahindra against Deere on build quality and loader capacity.
This is a dealership channel presenting from a Mahindra dealership floor, so the framing consistently favors Mahindra products throughout.
The Mahindra 1640 has a front end loader lift capacity of 1,650 pounds, over 500 pounds more than the John Deere 2038R's 1,120 pounds.
No. The 1640 has a Mahindra common-rail diesel engine that meets Tier 4 emissions without any DPF or DEF filtration system.
The John Deere deck is stamped, one-piece steel with a plastic side discharge chute. The Mahindra decks are fabricated, welded, heavier gauge steel with a rubber chute that folds instead of breaking.
In hydrostatic format with no loader, mower, or backhoe, the Mahindra 1640 weighs 3,175 pounds, over 700 pounds more than the John Deere 2038R.
