8.0 K Onan

[Gregory OConnor]

Alex, I have about 20 Kubota engines on equipment from light
towers , hydroseeders, skidsteers to a kubota b7200 tractor. I
noticed that even piston rings on the same model in various
applications differ. I try to go around the OEM right to Kubota only
to find the same frustration as you. The upside was an explanation
from Bobcat-Ingerrand who said Kubota designed the engines to hold up
best in each application. My light tower with a newage gen and
kubota d950 has over 12,000 hours and the valve cover has never been
off.
