Its a great little tractor. About 27-30 horse power. Built 1980s. 3 cylinder diesel. You can find them with draw bar or pickup hitch, cab or not and 2 wheel drive or4 wheel drive. Manual gears or shufle select (good range). They are used in Ireland and UK a lot in grounds keeping with grass tyres. The North Americans seem to use them for small Agri jobs which is an honourable use for them. Japanese engine so that's good. Finding agri rims and tyres to replace grassland ones in Ireland and UK seems to be a bit of a headache. 6" hub with 8" stud ring on a 24" rim is tough to find. Old yellow Massey and Ford council diggers match if you can find them in scrap. The fronts are more difficult to get if you need to match up ratio for 4WD. Ratio is about 3back to 5 front ish. would need to check that. Pretty simple mechanics and electrics. Easy to keep. Think there is issue with attaching front end hydraulics. Slow movement and a very inaccessable (if you have a cab) valve needs to be turned each time to switch between rear and aux front hydraulics. unless the operaters manual is Worded badly.
It will do all the jobs the small tractors of the 50s and 60s would do. ploughing, mowing, hauling 2-3 tons, anything 1-20 acres of land would need. Perfect for small mixed veg farming or grounds/estate care.
A highly regarded tractor by their owners.
