That would seem to be the engine. At 132 lbs for the Kohler and Deutz at 400 lbs (adding in 14 lbs for a starter, alt and cooler), they may start adding a counterweight. Or tire ballast.
Other questions, will it now be green, the gas tractor color. With no instrumentation (since that came with Deutz)?

That's a little over a 20% cut in torque, if it is.

Small diesels have a hard time meeting emissions these days. How soon until the super charge high torque electric version?:)

All the best,

...or maybe an eTorque thing like the Ram pickup uses. It wouldn't take much to do since it's an external "bolt on" thing...

How many new 30 hp gasoline tractors do you see on the market now days?

And there is a reason for that. The pre-emissions diesels were supposed to be good for close to 10,000 with proper maintenance. Doubt that will get that on a air cooled aluminum block gas engine. Then there is the fuel consumption issue. My 65 hp Deutz gets about 1 gal per hour for general usage (not runing a mower or trencher)
