MITSUBISHI MT285 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Mitsubishi MT285 is powered by a Mitsubishi K3C diesel engine, notable for its compact 0.9L displacement and a high compression ratio of 23:1, promoting efficient fuel combustion and torque generation. With an output of 18.5 hp at 2700 RPM, this tractor is ideal for light agriculture tasks and landscaping, providing a balance between power and fuel economy. However, the relatively small oil (3.2 qts) and coolant (5.3 qts) capacities may require more frequent maintenance checks, particularly under heavy operation conditions.

MITSUBISHI MT285 ENGINE
The Mitsubishi MT285 features a 0.9L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient fuel consumption for various applications. With a fuel tank capacity of 4.75 gallons (18.0 liters), it is suitable for short to medium-duration tasks, although operators may need to refuel more frequently for extended use. Its compact size and relatively lower power output can be advantageous in tight spaces but may limit performance in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION
The Mitsubishi MT285 features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear transmission, allowing for versatile speed adjustments suited for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch provides reliable power transfer but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches, especially under heavy load conditions. Operators should consider the gear ratios for optimal performance in different field scenarios, balancing speed and torque for specific applications.

MITSUBISHI MT285 TIRES
The Mitsubishi MT285 tractor features a versatile Ag front tire size range of 5-12, providing adequate traction and stability in various agricultural applications, while the larger Ag rear tire size of 8-18 enhances load-bearing capacity and facilitates better weight distribution. The combination of these tire sizes offers improved maneuverability in tight spaces, yet challenges may arise on uneven terrain due to limited ground clearance. This setup is ideal for small to medium-sized farms requiring agile yet robust performance for tasks like tilling and planting.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Mitsubishi MT285's compact wheelbase of 56 inches enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small-scale farming or landscaping tasks. Weighing 1378 lbs provides stability during operations but may limit performance on soft or uneven terrain. Tire specifications of 5-12 in the front and 8-18 in the rear indicate a balance between traction and flotation, optimal for diverse soil conditions, though it may require careful attention in muddy environments to prevent bogging down.
