ENGINE DETAIL
The VST VT180D tractor features a 0.9 L Mitsubishi K3C diesel engine, delivering 18.5 hp at a rated speed of 2700 RPM, which is suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks, particularly in small farms. Its compact torque of 37.6 lb-ft at 1900 RPM suggests it is optimized for efficient low-end power delivery, enhancing performance in demanding conditions like plowing or hauling. However, while its oil bath air cleaner and electric glow plug pre-heating contribute to improved engine reliability, the relatively low horsepower may be a limitation for heavier, more demanding applications.
