The Kubota Z602-E is a 0.6 L (599 cc, 36.5 cu·in) straight-two, water-cooled naturally aspirated vertical diesel engine from the Super-Mini series manufactured by Kubota.
The Kubota Z602-E engine has a spherical type сombustion сhamber with glow plug, Bosch MD mini fuel injection pump, and Bosch throttle type injection nozzle. It has a 72.0 mm (2.83 in) cylinder bore and a 73.6 mm (2.9 in) piston stroke. The compression ratio rating is 24.0:1.
The Z602-E diesel engine produced 15.8 PS (11.6 KW; 15.6 HP) at 3,600 rpm of net (intermittent) horsepower.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- Z – 2-cylinders
- 60 – Approximate displacement 600 cc
- 2 – Super-Mini series
- E – EPA/CARB Tier 1 level
