Differences between 15 series and 16 series

[Not Retired Yet]

Could someone tell me what the differences are between Mahindra's 15 series and 16 series? I must not have looked close enough. Specifically the 2516hst and the 2615hst. Thanks

Beyond the difference in body styles, the major differences are: the 2615 has more power, more weight, and a 3 range HST.

The 16 series replaced the 15 series on all tractors built from January 2008 forward. Keep in mind though that a lot of 15 series were built in December 2007, shipped into the USA in early 2008, shipped to dealers in later 2008 and so on. So fresh "new" 15 series were still being sold in 2009 and even later. The 2015 became a 2216. The 2415 became the 2516. The 2615 became the 2816. The 3215 became the 3316.

The 2516 and 2615 basically share the same engine and loader lift specs, but are otherwise completely different animals. The 2516 is lighter, has smaller tires and has a 48" bucket vs 60".
