It covers dimensions, the switch to a heavier four-cylinder engine, lift capacities, loader and three-point setup, seat, dash, and a real-world horsepower correction (34.5 hp, not 33). It ends with a brief outdoor startup and drive-around, but no loader or ground work. Best for shoppers wanting an early spec-focused walkaround rather than hands-on testing.
Posted by Don “Dixie Don” Clements, who identifies himself as Mahindra-focused and presents this as an early, informal first impression rather than a polished review.
Yes, the 1533 is heavier by about 738 pounds because it has Mahindra's four-cylinder engine instead of the 316's smaller three-cylinder Mitsubishi engine.
Despite the name, it is not 33 horsepower. It is actually 34.5 horsepower at 2400 RPM, similar to how the 316 was listed as 28 horsepower, not 30.
Yes, it has the same 60-inch quick-attach bucket, with rear lift around 2,646 pounds and front lift around 1,600 pounds, no difference from the 316.
It adds a toolbox, a stored drawbar location, a different more comfortable seat with side bolsters, and a digital readout on the dash.
