Hi all. I'm looking at these tractors, both 2 wheel drive with loaders, and was wondering how good of tractors they are? I just need something to move manure with and maybe do some raking. Thanks!

Hi, I'm going through this same thought process now myself. I currently have both the 1520 (gas) and a 1530 (diesel). I had the 1520 first and got the 1530 later as a fixer-up project. I was originally worried about starting the 1530 in the winter but after 2 winters, even at -10F, I got is started (with block heater). So I'm leaning now on keeping the 1530 since it is a little newer and I'm beginning to like the diesel.

Just my thoughts. Charlie

We had a 1530 for several years on the farm. Ours was used for mowing, raking, manure spreading (before we got the big spreaders) and general wagon handling. It was a good little tractor (among 3010s, 4010s and 4230s) and pretty decent on fuel too. Just look those tractors over good for damage due to loader work (our loader tractor was a 2520). I saw our old 1530 just this morning, it has a brush hog on it and is for sale. I suspect $7,200 is a tad high for it though.

Those models were among the BEST utility tractors ever made. As long as they had any kinda maintainence done they hold up well. If negelected , well not so good.
