The V1502 engine produced 30.5 PS (22.4 kW; 30.0 HP) at 2,800 rpm of the net (intermittent) horsepower and 34.5 PS (25.4 kW; 34.0 HP) at 2,800 rpm of gross (intermittent) horsepower.

The Kubota V1502 features:

  • Spherical type combustion chamber
  • Bosch K-type mini fuel injection pump
  • DN12 SD12 injection nozzle
  • Centrifugal ball mechanical governor
  • Forced lubrication by pump
  • Liquid cooling system forced circulation with water pump
