I know its a perkins diesel, cat bought them a while back so it is a cat...

No, it is a Perkins, even though CAT bought them. CAT could not build a small reliable diesel if there lives depended on it.

Actually, the Cub Cadet utility vehicles had CAT diesels in them for a while. 20hp if I remember correctly. Cub Cadet does not put ANY diesel in their UTVs anymore. But yea, CAT did put one in. Or someone made it for CAT?

CAT is the parent company, but all the engineering and R&D are all done by the Perkins crew. Some things did not change. And that makes me happy that MF(AGCO) is headed to SISU for power. As long as the CAT gang does not screw things up, they will be ok.

I hear you there. But it all comes back to $$$$. There will be off road emissions, but still, off road is a bigger cash cow for them.
