Say good bye to the diesel 1430

The PT site now list a gas engine.

The PT site now list a gas engine.

They probably don't want to deal with the emissions required on diesels.

Yep. I think someone was mentioning that before.

Hmm...it lists a "999cc gasoline engine". That's a fair bit of displacement!

I wonder if they are using this one CH940 | Command PRO | KOHLER

That's a little over a 20% cut in torque, if it is.
DEUTZ 2011 Series Diesel Engine - Specifications

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

All the best,

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)?

...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?

 

[m5040]

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)

 

[MossRoad]

Not many.
