⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Model Code:

Specific model code not provided in product description, but likely a Kubota D-series diesel engine.

Engine Type:

Diesel

Displacement:

Likely in the range of 1.5L to 2.5L, specific to L35 model variant.

Cylinders:

Typically 3 or 4 cylinders for this class of tractor.

Horsepower Rating Engine:
