Satoh Bull S-630D

[bmaverick]

hello,

Not that it matters now I guess but I recently purchased this unit with all attachments shown along with a 16ft trailer for 8k.

I do not know much about tractors but we have 18ish acres that will need to be maintained and I did not want to keep paying $600 annually for bush hogging. I also wanted 4x4 as our property can get quite muddy sometimes.

Unit has 1200 hours on it and seems to be fine and to my knowledge everything works. Wanted to ask if you thought I did alright price wise for the package? I did not want to incur debt for a tractor. Any advice for these units that I should know? Tires in rear seem to have some dry rot on side walls but I’m hoping I can keep using them for the rest of the year.

Thanks.

You got everything for a S-T-E-A-L. I mean it. A majority of machines that have a loader in my region command $8K alone. Then more with 4WD. You got a nice trailer in the deal too.

His model is not a Gary Market Mitsubishi-Satoh, it's a US import domestic model. All his manuals will be in English too.

Did you mean to say gray market instead of Gary? There is some Japanese writing on this this thing haha so I believe that would support the argument that it is gray, correct?

This is probably true. I was able to find PDF of manual online, thankfully.


SATOH BULL S-630 TRACTOR INSTRUCTION BOOK

All those free manuals from the manualslib site have PDF scripts in them. It's like Java code. Every time you open the file or browse the pages, info is sent across the internet.

A few of us ran PDF tools to 'flatten' and to remove those scripts off those PDFs and re-posted the manuals on TractorForum.com in the Resource Manager > Tractors CUT > section. Over 250 manuals and counting all cleaned with no malware, no scripts and no wacky watermarks.

The manual in original clean state came from here:

Nope, the S630 that became the MT630 was legally imported here.

The S630 is the Bull. Very popular in the 70s and early 80s. Dealers were mostly in the south like TX and a few up the New England coast.

The S630 has the KE130 engine.

Pinned at the top of the MITSUBISHI section here on TBN, you can find an excellent document in PDF. All owners should snag a copy. It has many details about these machines.

At present, none of the members have the KE130 engine parts manual in PDF to download. We mostly take donated materials and covert to PDF.

For Japan tractors, Yanmar and Iseki tend to have the best assortment of manuals available across the web.
