Mitsubishi ???

Deaf · Aug 26, 2004

Hello,

Looking at a used Allied 2504. They claim its a Mitsubishi tractor. Could not find anything on the unit that stated this. Other markings are- Koyker 110, Lennox ND. Its a 4x4, 3cy dsl, 20 HP Injector pump number C2D-9547. Does any one know anything about these tractors (good/bad)? Looks like a well made tractor. Everything on it is in english, turn signals, horn, ROPS, lights. So it looks like it was made for the US market. Tires are AG type. Very stout looking tractor. The loader from Lennox looks like it was design well for this tractor.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Found out some more info. Allied is an import CO. They claim these units are new and they do sell used. All types and models. Met them today and they left me with a good feelingt. The Allied model is based on a MTE1800d or a 1601. Are these models one of the better gray market units? Parts ect.......,

They also have Yanmar might look into them.

Thanks

I have sold 3 or 4 Mits units . Parts are not that easy to come by. You might want to stick with Yanmar. They have the best parts support that I have found.

I did a search for Allied 2504. If what I have found is correct you my friend have been lied to. Not only is this not a Mitsubishi tractor. it is not even Japanese. When I did a search for Allied 2504, the only link that came up was a website called Farm Photo. You can post pictures of tractors there. There was a whole page of Allied tractors. They are various makes of Chinese tractors. Attached is a picture of the Allied 2504. Looks like a piece of junk.

The Koyker loader would be the best part of the tractor. I have had a few of their loaders and I have one of their backhoes now. They build pretty good stuff.

Thanks for the feed back. I went to look at a used one on Tuesday, looked at one at the Allied CO here in Ohio and they showed me another unit that was used (same tractor) with KUMIAI MTE1800D on the hood. Was a dead match to the 2504 so I belive the are one and the same but I have been wrong before. The picture in your post looks nothing like the one I looked at. I will try to get a picture of the one I saw used and post it.

Thanks for your help

Deaf,
Did you get any pictures of them ?

Were they putting the Kumiai stickers on the chinese tractors?
Thats hard to comprehend.
This is important to me if they were doing that.

Here is their website. Their small tractor looks like something they made and the bigger ones are Chinese. I think they might be Benyes. Their website is horrible. It doesn't look good with any of my browsers. I have thought about stopping in there sometime as i drive a truck and sometimes get within 5-10 miles of the place. I just sent them an E-mail asking what brand of motor is on the 2504 and what is the price of it.

I am not far from this company . Have actually e-mailed them for info on parts and implement sales and did not get a return e-mail. Have driven by a few times but the gate is always closed and locked. Maybe my timing is off.
I am pretty sure they were a distributor for "grey" tractors for a while and wanted to stop and kick the tires.
Only about 15 minutes away from me . Don't know what their hours of buisness are but I would have thought they would be open on Saturday morning. I have never seen this brand tractor before. I would like to know a little more about this company for future "grey" and implement parts support .

Ernie,

I think the dealer may be doing just the opposite. He is putting Chinese decals on Japanese tractors. DEAF posted that the tractor picture I posted looked nothing like the tractor he looked at. It could be that this guy had some Allied 2504 decals and decided to spruce this Mitsubishi up a little.

Tractors4u · Aug 28, 2004

I will tell you one reason why I would not by from Allied tractor.
( ALLIED OFFERS THE MOST POWERFUL AND RELIABLE TRACTORS AND EQUIPMENT IN THE INDUSTRY )

 That is from their website. If they believe that or they are trying to get their customers to believe that Chinese tractor as the most reliable, then they will lie about other things.

My question is does Mitsubishi make a new tractor in Japan right now. If they do then maybe this guy is putting his own hood on it to have his own look. The 2504 is a hydro so it is not Chinese like the bigger ones. I want to know if they are really selling brand new Mitsubishis. Maybe Deaf or Alvanko can get us some pictures of what they look like. I have looked at their website now for probably two years or so and that 2504 model has always looked like that.
The 2504 always looked like a garden tractor to me, but now i don't know.

After reading this thread & looking at the website, it clicked. Wallace International had listed them as his eastern supply yard that any of his dealers could buy from. I know one dealer visited them & told me the selection & price weren't that great. Wallace had also setup a program for his dealers to import the Allied tractors from China. They were a consolidation of the Rhino line. I talked to the owner of Allied at the time & it sounded like they were trying to do a better job of delivering a good tractor than Rhino did. They were sourcing components from US companies in China. Some of their other products sounded interesting, but I have no experience with their products.

I see them every year at the Power Show Ohio. The first year I saw them, they all had "Made in USA" stickers all over them. The last 2 years they have been a hodge podge of parts to make a tractor.
Last year when I looked the owners daughter told me her Dad used to make them in his shop, all hand made, except for engines, trans.....etc. She also told me the middle size that was on display was actually a Mitsubishi.
At one time there was also another Chinese import that was labelled Allied. Looked like Jinma styling.

Durbob · Aug 29, 2004

I sent them an E-mail and it bounced back. It said undeliverable. I just can't see them selling those mitsubishi disguised tractors as really being new. My guess is they are refurbishing them as i said before and putting their sheet metal on it. I would like to see some pictures of them for sure.

Durbob · Sep 10, 2004

Can anyone tell me if the 24.5 hp tractor here from Allied is a chinese or Mitsubishi.?

In my opinion it has that chinese look on the rear rims & tires
but the loader blocks the rest of the photo.
All the others look to be chinese, I could be wrong though
considering the chinese are the masters of disguise.
