Comparison GC2610 or 1526?

[mguitas]

my dealer told me they were not making the 1526 anymore does the 1526 have mid pto

They better be making it, it's new for this year.

I think maybe your dealer is confused with the 1523 and 1528.

Thanks for the pic of the 1526 beside the GC. I haven't been able to see a 1526 yet. Dealers around here haven't gotten one yet.

Maybe off topic, but: I am being strongly advised that a track hoe is a more useful machine than the tractor. Does anyone have an opinion?

good to know does it have mid pto for a mmm mower

 

[Beaux]

Negative. Though I did see mowers are available as attachments.
I guess one gives up the FEL and ... What ... Make it up with a front hoe rather than back hoe? I don't get it.

 

[Dr Marko]

It does have a mid pto and can take a mmm. Positive on that, can also take a front snow blower

Yeah they are still pretty new. It's hard to find one. Your welcome for the picture.

Oh. But watch that. The mid PTO is now an option. If you buy a mid mount mower make sure they include the mid mount as it is around $800 for the kit. My dealer said they were doing that on lots of tractors cause so many people don't use it.

Depends on what you are doing. They are limited from moving dirt long distances. You need a dump truck or loader. They can dig deeper and get into tighter places usually.

so the mmm is yes but no backhoe attachment
