New 1533

aledobud · May 9, 2017

Took delivery of a 1533 HST this weekend. Also got the Mahindra 5 foot standard duty shredder. So much easier than the old Deere 850. Love the HST. Now I can back into tight areas in the woods with ease. The engine seems to hardly be working to move the shredder. It does have a little vibration at sub PTO speeds. I may try another tractor at the dealer to see if this is a common thing or just mine. I did see this mentioned, though, on a couple other reviews. Hopefully not going to be an issue.

On this board unless you post pictures of it, you don't have a new tractor at all and we won't think its real.

Here is the evidence. Not sure why it is posting sideways.

OK so it's real. Congratulations on your new toy, errr ahh I mean tool. Good luck with it.

That seems to happen with pictures a lot on this board but when you click the thumbnail it displays correctly.

Congrats on the new tractor!

I will always have a soft spot for the 1533, that's the machine I almost bought and would be my choice on a new machine.

I've had my 1533 (shuttle) for 6 months, really like it so far, only 24 hours on it.

Six months and only 24 hours? Apparently you don't like it enough. Of course those were mostly winter months so I guess unless you're pushing snow around there wasn't much to do.
