Kubota VH1100The Kubota VH1100 is a 1,140 cc (69.6 cu-in) straight-four, water-cooled naturally aspirated diesel engine from Kubota 70 mm series.

The Kubota VH1100 engine has a spherical type сombustion сhamber with glow plug, Bosch K-type mini fuel injection pump, and Bosch throttle type injection nozzle. The compression ratio rating is 22.0. The cylinder bore and the piston stroke are 72.0 mm (2.83 in) and 70.0 mm (2.76 in), respectively. The VH1100 diesel engine produced 31.3 PS (22.98 kW; 30.8 HP) at 3,600 rpm of gross (intermittent) horsepower and 66.49 N·m (6.8 kg·m, 49 ft·lb) at 2,400 rpm of torque.

The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:

  • V – Four-cylinders
  • 1100 – Approximate displacement 1100 cc
