Overview
A direct loader capacity test prompted by a parallel video where a Kubota LX struggled with the same job. The owner loads his Mahindra 1626 with actual pallet totes of firewood, a seasoned 330-gallon tote and a 275-gallon tote, and lifts them on camera to show real-world capacity versus the rated 1,400-lb spec. Short and narrowly focused; most useful to buyers weighing the 1626 against similarly sized Kubota compact tractors.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own property, with an openly stated preference for their Mahindra purchase over Kubota.
