5. Common Problems and Maintenance

The MT2801D is built around a balance of power and maneuverability for tight spaces. Mitsubishi MT2801D (often marketed under the brand) is

  • Ergonomics:
    1. Cold start: Demand a cold start. Watch the glow plug light. Does it start within 5 seconds of cranking? Blue smoke? White smoke that doesn't clear?
    2. 4WD engagement: With the tractor stopped, engage and disengage 4WD. It should click positively. Drive in a circle on pavement in 4WD to feel for binding (indicates mismatched tire sizes or driveline issues).
    3. PTO: Engage the PTO at low RPM. Listen for grinding. Raise it to 540 RPM. It should be smooth.
    4. 3-Point Hitch: Raise a heavy implement (or lift the hitch arms). Turn off the engine. Does it drop immediately? If so, hydraulic work is needed.
    5. Tires: Rear tires are expensive (9.5-24 or 11.2-24). Check for dry rot. Front 4WD tires must match the rolling circumference; mismatched tires destroy the front differential.
    6. Rust: Check the radiator support and the floorboards. Japanese tractors stored in coastal Japan rust from the bottom up.
