TRANSMISSION
The Mitsubishi GS231 tractor features a 12-speed gear transmission, providing versatility in various operational scenarios, from heavy tillage to light hauling. This extensive gear range allows for optimal torque management and fuel efficiency, catering to both slow-paced tasks and faster transport needs. However, operators may need time to acclimate to the shifting pattern, which could affect productivity initially.

12 forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Mitsubishi GS231 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, providing enhanced traction and stability in various terrain, which is beneficial for agricultural or landscaping tasks. Its power steering facilitates maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, while the 12-speed transmission allows for optimized speed control and adaptability to different operational demands. However, the two-post ROPS cab may offer limited protection compared to full cab options, potentially exposing the operator to weather elements and increasing safety considerations during operation.

MITSUBISHI GS231 TIRES
The Mitsubishi GS231 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires, with front dimensions of 6-14 and rear dimensions of 9.5-22, optimizing traction and stability on varied terrains. These tire sizes enhance maneuverability in tight spaces and improve grip on soft soil, ideal for crop cultivation and light forestry tasks. However, operators should assess the ground pressure exerted by these tires to prevent soil compaction, particularly in wet conditions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Mitsubishi GS231 has a compact wheelbase of 57.1 inches, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces typical for landscaping or small farming tasks. Weighing 1940 lbs, its stability provides good traction, especially when combined with the larger rear tires (9.5-22), making it suitable for towing or fieldwork on varied terrain. However, its lighter weight may limit performance in heavy-duty applications; consider this balance when evaluating for tasks requiring substantial pulling power.
