Mystere of L1500DT

[jeanot71]

Hello

sorry for my language i am french.
I look orangetractortalks every week, and it's my first post.

today i have a kubota b6000 and tomorrow i buy a kubota L1500DT.
i love the look of the L1500DT and it looks really beefy.
but i have a question...

about my futur L1500DT, I saw a plaque stating 15 horses...

on the web, i see L1500DT = 19hp , 17hp, 15hp, .... 15 hp on the PTO ...
is mysterious and I would like to know more

about my futur, I can see molded into the motor 748CC



Can you help me to know the truth, because even on items difféntes Forum is never very clear ...

15hp on the pto?
17-19hp on the motor?


i can't download the manual of "http://kubota.com/part/partsList.aspx " OF the Kubota L175 (apparently identical model) , i am stopped by this message, can you help me :

Access in only North America.



thank you

From the internet, it looks like the engine horsepower is 15- being a 2 cylinder, that sounds right. That would put it at about 13 pto horsepower- it loses a little through the transmission process.

Jean this link might give you a bit more info, it doesnt list the PTO hp but 15 hp for the morot so most likely like said is about 13 hp at the PTO
