Does this model have the 3 cylinder Mitsu engine, the KE75? If so, it would be 17 HP, correct? Is the hydrostat a desirable tractor or has it experienced a ton of problems over the years?

I believe it would be a 3 cyl. Mitsubishi K3A engine . I don't have experience with the hydrostats. I heard where hydros are more desirable though from one source and command a higher dollar amount. I would think hydros rob more of the engine's available power vs. gear on the way to the tires but has advantages such as quicker maneuvering capability along with other things I would guess.

It is a K3A. The hydro is nice if you need to change ground speed with out slowing the pto. It does take power.
