This seems to be the best place to get answers to questions about Mitsubishis so here goes;

The MTE2000D; I have seen a few of these listed for sale on dealer websites, but the descriptions seem to vary a bit. What is the HP rating for this machine? What model CaseIH does it most closely cross over to? How do you feel about the quality and operation of this one? Is the shift on the fender hard to get used to? Is this an easy machine to work on?

The dealer I will be visiting also has a MT20D. I have not been able to find much on this one at all. Just weight, HP and dimensions. Haven't seen a picture of one yet. Same questions apply.

As I mentioned before, I am preparing to return a YM1610D that I recently bought. It came with a problem that I don't want to go into here. I like it fine otherwise, especially after adding some front end weight.

I Have the option of swapping it for another 1610D, or possibly a 2210D, or one of the Mitsubishis mentioned above.

Would you see any advantages to going with the Mitsubishis over staying with the same size Yanmar? What about the larger 2cyl Yanmar?

Too many questions, I know.

Thanks,
Jeff

This is just my opinion but I have spent significant time on all three tractors. You said in an earlier post that the 1610 was to light for what you wanted to do. If that is still true look at the 2210. heavier, bigger, stronger. If the 1610 wont do it the MT20 will never even come close to doing it, way to light. The MTE is solid and is 20hp at the PTO. The fender shift is easy enough for me to learn but you are the only one that will ever know if you will like it. I know when the shift cables go out they are a bugger to replace and get adjusted properly. The MTE will be easier to get on but the 2210 will do a heck of a lot more work and on less fuel.
