MITSUBISHI MT181 ENGINE

The Mitsubishi MT181 is equipped with a compact 1.1L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient power for small-scale agricultural tasks. With a modest fuel tank capacity of 4.8 gallons (18.2 liters), it is optimized for short-duration operations, resulting in reduced refueling frequency but may require careful planning for extended work sessions. The compact size and engine output make the MT181 ideal for maneuvering in tight spaces, yet its limited power may challenge heavier tillage or plowing tasks.

TRANSMISSION

The Mitsubishi MT181 features a 6-speed forward and 3-speed reverse gearbox, providing versatility in speed management for various tasks. The multiple gear ratios enhance torque control during applications like plowing or hauling, ideally suited for both agricultural and light industrial uses. However, operators may find the transmission selection somewhat limited for very steep terrain or fast transport needs compared to tractors with more forward gears.

Gears

6 forward and 3 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Mitsubishi MT181 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrain. Its manual steering system may require more physical effort, especially in tight spaces, but provides a direct connection to handling. With a 6-speed transmission, operators can optimize performance for different tasks, though the absence of advanced transmission options may limit operational efficiency in specific conditions.

MITSUBISHI MT181 TIRES

The Mitsubishi MT181 tractor features standard agricultural tires with a front size of 6-12 and a rear size of 8.3-22, providing optimal traction and stability for various farming applications. This tire configuration enhances maneuverability in tight spaces while maintaining effective weight distribution for improved soil integrity. However, the smaller front tires may limit handling in deeper soils, so it's essential to consider terrain conditions when operating this tractor.
