Mitsubishi D2350 3.80 star(s) (4)

Mitsubishi D2350FD w/V2A FEL
Model Year: 1980

I have only had my tractor for a few days but, so far I am very pleased. I have graded my driveway and moved a little dirt with the loader. I have already built a receiver hitch for the 3-point hitch and am in the process of re-decking an old 5-ft. bushhog. The hydraulics work quite well and quick. The tractor seems to have plenty of power for it's size. Depending on where you get the information it has from 26 to 28 HP at the flywheel with 22-24 HP at the PTO. Starts every time with just a turn of the key. It is a Vietnam "refurbished" tractor (which accounts for the low hours). The dealer was more than willing to work with me on making a deal. Of course, any salesman will work with you on the purchase. I will have to wait and see about service after the sale.

Pros: "Refurbished" looks new.
Cons: Kind of small (I am 6'6" and 240).

Used Mitsubishi Grey Market Tractor
Model Year: 0

Best bang for the buck I could find at the time. Hours are unknown. Grey market is risky as parts and manuals are difficult to find. So far I have been fortunate. Had overheating problems and had to rebuild radiator. Power seems weak as tractor bogs down with 5' bush hog in thick grass. Shifting is difficult due to no synchronization (gears grind). If I had it to do over I would buy a used name brand tractor. But for $3500 it has cut my grass for six years.

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Parts and support are difficult.

My First Tractor
Model Year: 1994

This is my first tractor, think it's very powerful for its size. Very simple to operate, it has a Bulldog 285 loader, wish it was an fd model 4x4 I will be changing the front three rib ag tires as they tend to sink into the sand due to the terrain here. Cost me very little so I could not refuse purchasing it looked at many tractors in similar prize range I believe choosing the Mitsubishi was an excellent choice.

Pros: Great price, simple to work with.
Cons: Skinny front tires, no 4x4.

Small Yet Powerful Tractor
Model Year: 1980

This is a Mitsubishi D2350 FD, also known as the Satoh/Kumiai ST2342. This is an overworked tractor, yet still in good shape. I used it to pull the 4 tons trailer and for plowing and soil tillage. It has overheating issues due to loads of rust accumulated in the engine block. I need to work it over 1500 rpm in order to avoid overheating. The radiator has been rebuilt by the previous owner. It is impossible to find parts like ignition switch, headlights, bulbs, etc. Manuals are also hard to find, while guys from US would not ship outside, to Romania. The 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds are great for working in hard fields and the power of the 4-cylinder engine also good. Quite slow with its max 14 kilometers per hour. I envy the ones with the 25-horse Chinese Foton tractors which run like crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxpx_yl_-6M

Pros: Good power and wide range of low speeds
Cons: Low max speed
