Read articles →A Maine small-farm owner who has bought three Mahindras walks around his 1635, sharing honest like-and-dislike observations: the loader subframe and quick-attach levers earn praise, while the draft link pins, two-part PTO logic, front fuel tank placement, and near-useless toolbox draw criticism. He also briefly contrasts the 1635 with his Max 26 and recounts quality troubles with an earlier 2538. Best for buyers weighing Mahindra against Kubota or Deere from a real-use perspective.
An owner-operator running a small family farm who has purchased multiple Mahindra tractors, giving him a hands-on but clearly brand-favorable viewpoint.
He considered basic features, price, dealership quality, and capabilities. His Kubota dealer felt dismissive after a buyout, and he disliked the John Deere economy series aluminum rear end and extra-cost drawbar.
Draft link pins bend and aren't durable, the two-part PTO logic seems unnecessary, the front fuel tank location makes refueling messy, and the stock toolbox is not very useful.
He is very happy with the loader, saying it exceeds expectations for what it picks up, and praises the quick-attach levers and the subframe that other brands lacked.
Yes, his earlier 2538 had a slew of hydraulic issues and the whole dash went to fluid at one point, though the dealer replaced it and gave him a good trade.
