All specifications on this page were taken directly from Mahindra, the manufacturer. Figures from Mahindra USA specifications and Mahindra brochure, checked November 2, 2026: Mahindra USA specifications, Mahindra brochure. Mahindra's model cards list the 1626 at 25.9 hp; its specification table and brochure give 24.8 hp, which is the figure used here.

Sorting out the three models

The 1626 is the compact end. It's a three-cylinder at 24.8 hp, with 19 PTO hp on the hydrostatic and 21.5 on the shuttle. Its loader lifts 1,653 lb, and the tractor weighs about 2,450 lb.

The 1635 and 1640 are a size up. They ride on longer frames, with 73 and 76.9 inches of wheelbase. Both loaders lift 1,830 lb and reach 92 inches. The 1635 makes 36.2 hp from three cylinders. The 1640 makes 38.7 hp from four cylinders and 166.7 cubic inches.

The bigger frames sit higher and turn wider. Ground clearance runs 11.4 inches on the 1626, 12.2 on the 1635 and 12.8 on the 1640. Turning radius goes from 7.9 feet to 8.5 and 9.2. On the hydrostatic, top speed is 13.3 mph on the 1626 and 1635, and 14.8 on the 1640.

All three share the 3-point. It lifts 1,720 lb, measured 24 inches back, with telescoping stabilizers. The 1635 and 1640 add flex links.

Hydrostatic or shuttle?

The hydrostatic gives you infinite speeds in three ranges. You set speed and direction with your foot, which makes loader work smooth. The shuttle is a gear transmission with 8 forward and 8 reverse speeds. It puts a little more power to the PTO on each model: 29.9 hp on a shuttle 1640, against 27.7 on the hydrostatic.

Don't let horsepower do all the choosing. The 1635 and 1640 sit 2.5 hp apart, but the 1640 has a longer wheelbase and an extra cylinder. Three tractors can share a horsepower rating and be built for three different jobs. Frame size tells you more about the work a tractor's built for.
