Covers real-world fuel consumption (about four gallons over five-plus hours), radiator clogging issues with dead grass, hydrostatic pedal ergonomics, seat height and loader controls, bucket size, and overall value versus name-brand competitors. Best for shoppers weighing the 1626 against comparable compact tractors.
Posted by the Faithful Farm Adventures channel; the creator appears to be an independent operator sharing hands-on impressions from paid field work, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
It held about four gallons after roughly five and a half hours of full throttle, loaded use, and the tank was in the orange when refueled.
The 1626 has a higher seating position, better field of vision, more comfortable loader controls, and a three-speed hydrostat, though the John Deere's pedals are easier to use side by side.
The bucket is very small, under 18 inches deep, the fuel tank is tiny, possibly under five gallons, and the reverse pedal placement takes getting used to.
Yes, the radiator screen clogged with dead grass during the job and had to be cleaned out twice to keep the tractor from running warm.
