Mitsubishi is still very much around, only not as tractors.
Their engines are found in a lot of reefer trucks and powering all sorts of machinery as well as some other brands of CUT's.
Since I own a MT180D I can attest to its ruggedness and reliability.
So far I have not had any parts issues other than tires as they used a unique size (9.5 X18 R3) that only they used.
As a CUT is is fairly narrow and hence tippy but I got used to it.
I use mine mainly for snow duties but it is also equipped with a rugged FEL by Shultz that performs very well and as such I have moved many truckloads of gravel and fill.
Mine has a hi/low 3 speed gear box that probably would not compete in the present day market as few can master a clutch these days.
Heck a clutch transmission is a rare and only special order on very few cars and even trucks.
