I am looking for information on Satoh Buck tractors. I have read prior postings and know that Satoh is no longer in business. I would appreciate any opinions from Satoh owners on parts availability and reliability. My father has the opportunity to purchase a Satoh Buck tractor for $3300 from a relative (hence the apparent good deal) but is concerned about parts availability. The tractor is spec'ed as follows - water cooled 3 cylinder (51 ci) diesel - run 50 hrs - 4 wheel drive - front plow - bush hog and landscaping box - 54 inch mowing deck - visually clean and appears to be well taken care of (e.g. no smoke, weird noises, or hydraulic leaks) I asked around at work and was told that the 3 cylinder engines were pretty standard for small tractors, very reliable, and used by numerous other manufacturers. Thus, if there were any problems with components, such as fuel injectors, the necessary parts could be ordered through another manufacturer. Looking for input since this deal sounds so good.
