I also made the same purchase (mf1526) traded my gc1720. Will have it delivered around the end of the week. Have a mmmower with it. I checked the Kubota dealer and got a better price with the massey dealership. The massey dealer (Proudfoot motors)is a 3 hour drive while the Kubota dealer is 20 min drive. The Massey dealer has been great to work with in the past (gc1720) and great so far with this deal....
I hope you have better luck with your 1526 than I've had... I drove it home and cut part of the yard and the electric clutch would no longer engage. The dealership ordered a new switch, but as soon as they unplugged the solenoid and plugged back in, it started working. I cut today for 4 hours and it ran great, but the fuel showed full after 4 hours. I turned it off and an hour later it showed 1/2 full on startup, but started to climb while it was sitting in the garage. It took 4 gallons, so 1/2 full was about right. Somewhat unrelated, the new Woods PRD7200 (in MF Red) dumped the gearbox seal after 30 minutes... dealership fixed that, but didn't route the belt correctly, so it burned up in 5 minutes. My 755 went back to the dealership one time to install the loader... I'm less than impressed with the 1526.
BTW... the ROPS is the dumbest design ever
