The Kubota V1505-E2B and V1505-E3B diesel engines produces 34.0 PS (25.0 KW; 33.5 HP) at 3,000 rpm of net output power and the V1505-E4B engines produces 24.1 PS (17.7 KW; 23.7 HP) at 2,300 rpm of net horsepower.

The Kubota V1505 features:

  • Spherical type (E-TVCS) combustion chamber
  • Bosch MD type mini fuel injection pump
  • All speed mechanical governor
  • Forced lubrication by trochoid pump lubrication system
  • Liquid-cooled cooling system
