Traction MT2001D 4WD issues

[hbarski]

I'm having what I think may be a problem with my Mitsubishi MT2001D. I was cleaning the fence line this weekend and got to some loose ground and put the tractor in 4WD with the tranny in midrange. When I got hungup in a wet spot, I noticed that the left front and right rear tires were the only ones trying to grab. The right front and left rear were not moving. Any experts on the Kumia/Mitsubishi that can shed a light on issue or possible problem? It pulled out of the mudspot and finished the tasks at hand, but I'm wondering if this is an issue that needs further troubleshooting.

Sounds OK to me. My MTE2000D (Kumiai/ Mitsubishi) does the same thing. I have often noticed that only one front tire is spinning in mud etc and the rear will do the same unless you engage the rear differential lock. Pretty sure the front is an open differential design ( like the rear) and unfortunately there is no "locking" mechanism on the front diff. like the rear does on most tractors.

Mine does the same thing, it is normal. Like Darryl says the differential lock helps for the rear.
