FIRST LOOK-The Mahindra 1526

Filmed at the Mahindra national dealer meeting, this is a brief pre-release dealer pitch rather than a hands-on test. The presenter highlights the 1526's 26-hp rating, 8x8 shuttle transmission, skid-steer quick-attach loader, and five-year warranty, and makes a direct price and lift-capacity comparison against the Kubota LB2601 and John Deere 2025R, all under $20,000. Best for shoppers just becoming aware of the model.

Posted by the Golden Circle Implement Center dealership channel, so this is a sales-oriented walkaround recorded before the tractor was even in stock.
