New Doosan engine arrived ...

[lux]

My new Doosan 55hp TR8 delivered to site yesterday. Some nice little tweaks on the old TR8. The horse power increase was certainly noticeable straight off the bat. Looks smart in their new colours too. I shall endeavour to give honest feedback on the new engine, fingers crossed for it being positive.

Is it turbo

It is indeed

Is it noisier?

Engine sounds smoother, less rattly than the kubota.

Engine pictures?

 

How much more is it than the old TR8 with tier 3a Kubota engine?

Only a grand more than the outgoing machine.

Are you completely sure? A tier 5 Kubota diesel engine is 6-8k more  than the equivalent tier 3a old Kubota engine of the same HP. 
 

And those Doosan engines aren’t *that* much cheaper than a Kubota unit.

I paid 28.5k for mine. (Ex vat)
