Engine Type:
Typically naturally aspirated or turbocharged, liquid-cooled, 3 or 4-cylinder diesel engines. Specific engine model numbers vary by DK variant (e.g., Daedong 3C100L, 3D114E, 4A220).
Displacement:
Displacement varies by model: DK35 (approx. 1.8-2.2 L), DK40 (approx. 2.2-2.5 L), DK450L (approx. 2.4-2.7 L). Specifics to be confirmed in manual.
Power Output:
Horsepower ratings vary: DK35 (approx. 35 HP), DK40 (approx. 40 HP), DK450L (approx. 45 HP). PTO horsepower will be lower.
Torque Specifications:
Detailed torque specifications for engine components such as cylinder head bolts, main bearings, and connecting rod caps are critical and will be found in the manual.
Injection System:
Indirect or Direct injection, depending on specific engine model. Likely mechanical or electronically controlled rotary injection pump.
Transmission Type:
Often features a hydrostatic transmission (HST) with two or three pedal control, offering infinite speed variations and easy operation. Some models may offer a manual shuttle shift transmission (e.g., 12F/12R or 16F/16R).

Air Filter Replacement:
Check and clean element at 100-200 hours, replace as needed, typically annually or sooner in dusty conditions.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 400-600 hours or annually. Bleeding procedure after replacement is critical and outlined in the manual.
Engine Oil Specification:
Refer to manual for exact viscosity and API classification (e.g., SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40, API CI-4 or CH-4).
Coolant Specification:
