wondering if anyone out there has mf 1531

[farmer10of13]

I'm trying to deside between a MF 1531,and a Kubota b3030tractor. I'm looking to get a FEL and MMM. Does anyone out there have a 1531.I have a kubota b6100dt. I've had good luck with it. My dad had a mf 135 with a loader and we couldn't kill it. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks charlie.

I have a 1528, the same thing only without the "tuned up" engine. I love it.

I have one. Been quite happy with it. Love the Hydro. I looked at some Kubotas but they were a bit more cramped compared to the MF, but I'm 6'3".

Thanks for the input, I test drove the 1529, and the 2400. Kind of liked the hydro over the shuttle . But I kind of wanted a medium framed tractor hence the 1531 . Unfortunately the dealers I went to didn't have one on the lot. Thanks Charlie

Just in case you didn't know, the 1529 and 1532 are a bit bigger than the 1528/1531. They call them medium+ or something.

I chose the mf 1531 over the Kubota 3030 and 3200 because it had more hp, both engine and PTO. It was cheaper too. I was concerned about the lower ground clearance - 1531 has a stated 10 in clearance vs 14 for the Kubota - but it turned out to be a non event. The 1531 is the most powerful for its trimmer size. It has brush hogged up a steep pond bank, down a hill, and over ruts with no problem.

love mine. I have been on it everyday since I got it. using it for my landscaping business. backhoe is excellent for ponds and stump removing. I find it does get hung up in the mud easy with it on but at least I can dig it out. plenty of power and small size.
