MITSUBISHI MT508 ENGINE

The Mitsubishi MT508 features a robust 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for moderate agricultural tasks. The 14.5-gallon (54.9L) fuel tank allows for extended operating time in the field, reducing the frequency of refueling. However, the relatively small tank compared to larger tractors may limit continuous operation periods during extensive tasks, making it less suitable for prolonged heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION

The Mitsubishi MT508's 16 forward and reverse gears provide excellent adaptability for various agricultural tasks, enhancing both speed and torque management. The dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement and simplicity in maintenance, though it may require more effort compared to wet clutches under heavy load scenarios. This tractor is well-suited for diverse farming applications, but operators should be aware of potential clutch wear during prolonged heavy-duty use.

MITSUBISHI MT508 TIRES

The Mitsubishi MT508 tractor features standard agricultural tires, which enhance traction and stability on various terrains, with front tires sized 8.3-20 and rear tires 13.6-28. This tire configuration is optimal for fieldwork, providing good flotation and reducing soil compaction. However, it may present challenges in limited mobility on hard surfaces or steep inclines due to lower ground clearance and narrower front tire width.
