    Mitsubishi mt1401D for next to nothing, worth it?

    Thankgod, I've messaged and asked some more about gearbox ect, as I'm competent with mechanical stuff, but absolutely suck at anything gearbox related

    Well that certainly is a total turnoff, as I can imagine the entire gearbox is rusted. As for the owner, he's apperantly away at work, so won't be able to talk much until next week,so I have to wait until then sadly

    Would you happen to know if that rusted out part in the first photo is the actual gearbox or a cover? Since I can't find much info anywhere

    Hi all, so I've been on marketplace and have found this, now it's obviously a rustbucket,but I'm just looking for a fun project to restore/get running. The owners said the engine has seized, and that's about it. Imo it looks decent (ish) the only part that really concerns me is the rust near...

    Owners asking 5K USD for a gc1723e with tlb and mmm. surely this is a scam?

    Oh it's in aus, just easier to put down usd here. But yeah it seemed too good to be true, I was thinking moreso stolen since its on marketplace. But it would def make sense

    Grainy photos, aswell as it just seeming way way way too cheap. Maybe broken components? I messaged and am waiting for a response but I'm thinking either stolen or scam. But if not we'll, I'll go grab 7000 from the bank haha

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    Mines just the standard fender. I'm honestly quite mad thanks to that, not only was I promised 3 bladed with difflock and "zero turn" but sofar it has none. And needed a new wiring kit at 60 hours, which due to said electric faults has made the hour meter hit 300. Genuinely don't think I'd ever...

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    Man that is weird,so when buying from the dealership, I was told it had traction control, and the difflock was just permanently on. Looking it up, it seems the only cub with that lever was the one in their videos (cub cadets) go figure

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    Just to add, about thedifflock and my complaints. The EFI version seems to have difflock,I've got a link I'll post at the bottom for it. As for the ruts, I'm far more concerned with keeping grassy areas grass, and with the cub it doesn't rut, instead it tears it up to the point of bare...

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    FEL is most definitely a buy, and I'm probably going to add a backhoe onto it too. Alot of my friends/people on other forums have advised me to buy new,and where I am it's 30% deposit and 24months, so in reality it's somewhat similar price really. Especially with warranty ect, biggest part is...

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    Just hope I wasn't too hard on the fella lol, As for the tractor most definitely, I'm currently going around and writing a list of things that it could be used for, aswell as price justifications. Mainly to convince my wife haha. After today however, I really understand the use, as we...

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    Honestly, I hate having to walk 3-400M with a full fuel canister to refuel the mower, which happens all the time since the fuel tank is..... Well just a really bad design,so using some less fuel would be a massive benefit. And, don't call me insane but, I feel like small diesels sound much...

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    That's how I feel, and imo saying "thanks for the answer" after 8 or 9 times feels spammy, and like you're just ignoring their answer whilst clogging the thread, maybe I'll try the like button?

    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    Yeah, Im pretty sure ours was the upgraded model with difflock, but my god do I wish it wasn't

    My friend I have a wife and kids, aswell as a full time job and still settling into our house. I personally did not expect this thread to get this large, nore do I know how to write thoughtful replies to every single person without repeating myself. I am sorry for not personally responding to...
