Overview
Filmed side-by-side at the 2017 Mahindra National Dealer Meeting, this is a detailed static walkaround comparing the Mahindra 1526 against the Kubota L2501 and John Deere 3025E, build materials, loader arm bracing, joystick placement, three-point hitch linkage, floorboard design, lift capacity (1150 vs 1560 lbs), weight, and warranty terms.
