Read articles →A personalized dealer walkaround made for a specific customer comparing three Mahindra sub-compact/compact models side by side: the 1526, a used 2014 3016, and the 1538. It touches on lift capacity, weight differences, horsepower, the common-rail diesel (no DPF), loader quick-detach, shuttle transmission layout, and warranty terms. Light on hard numbers but useful for shoppers weighing these three specific models against each other.
This is a salesperson at Cliff Jones Mahindra Tractor recording a personalized pitch for a prospective buyer, so expect a decidedly sales-oriented perspective throughout.
The 3016 can lift about 200 to 300 pounds more than the 1526, has two more horsepower, and is a bit heavier and taller.
The 1538 has 10 more horsepower than the 3016, weighs almost 800 pounds more, and has the same lift capacity of 1,650 pounds to full height.
No, Mahindra uses a common-rail diesel without a diesel particulate filter or fluid, unlike most competitors in that horsepower range, saving time and frustration.
Pull out the pin on each side, find level ground, drop the kickstand, pull the bucket pins, lift the loader from the saddles, then disconnect the color-coded quick disconnect hydraulics.
