Product Description

  • Compact and lightweight: Features a cast-iron block engineered specifically for compact construction and agricultural equipment, allowing easy installation in tight engine compartments.
  • Quiet and smooth operation: High-pressure common rail injection significantly reduces engine noise and vibration, delivering markedly improved comfort compared with traditional mechanical diesel engines.
  • Low maintenance cost: Equipped with maintenance-free hydraulic lash adjusters, with filters and the dipstick grouped on a single side for convenient routine servicing.
  • No DEF (urea) required: Models at 74 hp (55 kW) and below meet stringent Tier 4 Final emission standards using only a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) — operators need not purchase or refill diesel exhaust fluid.
