Strongest Korean brand

/ Strongest Korean brand #101  
The Mitsubishi engine in my LS was a 2.2L 4cyl. The Iseki diesel in my Massey is a 2.2L 4cyl. Were those Kubota copies also?

Exactly. And it's possible that Mitsubishi, Iseki and/or Daedong were making their 2.2L 4cyl. engines before Kubota made theirs.

I am actually surprised that Kubota doesn't sell their engines into other tractor brands that don't make their own. They sell them into other heavy equipment, so I don't know why not other tractors. I do think they make an excellent engine.

I have a Kubota diesel in my Ventrac
