Yea yea yea, if you don't know now you will never appreciated it. Yes tiny 4 cylinders can chuck out as much power as a V8, but the driving experience is crap - there is no sense of occasion, no thrill and virtually no enjoyment - end of :)

Some people will be jacking off over electric cars next;)

They are comparing a 4.4 litre 4 cylinder with a 6.6 litre 6.
We have a Kubota 150 HP with a 6.1 litre 4 cylinder. I think that it would stand up well against the Sizu 6 cylinder, especially with torque as it pulls like a train.
Its a mistake the four cylinder is a 4.9 litre, still a long way to go to catch kubotas big lump for displacement.

No , both are sixes, 3.5 is V6, the 4.0 is inline, capable of 10.00 second 1/4 mile as road going car.
 
I wonder if, in not so many years, it will be 200 hp? Especially with ever tightening emission regulations...

Deutz AG (the engine manufacturer not SDF) last year launched a 9 litre 4-cylinder engine capable of 400hp and 1250 ft-lbs of torque.

The mainstay 4-litre TCD 4.1 L4 found in many tractors is being supplanted by a 5-litre TCD 5.0 200hp unit which is also Stage V ready.

I guess they see a future in big displacement 4-cylinder units too. :whistle:

So it's not that the 4 pot is any better; but it's down to the fact that developing a 4 pot is better for them; and as emission and engine building becomes more expensive, this means we will have to take what we are given.

Not a huge fan. Never liked the deutz engine so common in so many applications.

I'm waiting to see Kubota develop a 8 litre, 5 cylinder engine [emoji16]
