ENGINE DETAIL

The Shibaura SL1643, powered by a K713 diesel engine, provides a modest 16hp at a rated RPM of 2600, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks and small-scale operations. Its compact 1.0L displacement and dry air cleaner contribute to efficiency, but limit power output, which may challenge performance in more demanding scenarios. The starter's 12-volt system ensures reliable ignition, however, prospective users should consider the torque characteristics when operating at lower RPMs, particularly during heavier loads.
