ENGINE DETAIL
The Hinomoto C172, powered by the Toyosha CS100 diesel engine, delivers a gross power output of 20 hp at a rated 2500 RPM, with a commendable torque of 40.5 lb-ft peaking at 1800 RPM, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks with moderate load requirements. The compact 1.0 L displacement and liquid cooling enhance its efficiency and longevity, although the relatively low power may limit its use for heavier machinery operations. With an electric starter and modest oil and coolant capacities, routine maintenance is simplified, but operators should ensure timely checks to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.
