What about trying a few of the Yanmars, actually 4 of them. I had 2 in my 4300 V, 480/935 very reliable, good resale and are warrantied at many area's. Good luck

It would be like buying a high strung motor...1400hp..., and expecting it to last more than 100 hours without any problems. Yanmar and Cummins are the way to go, higher reving diesels 3200-3400rpms, great hp to torque ratio, dealer network for servicing and most of all, excellent resale. Jeff

If less than 2000# is the target weight, looks like you are into a low hp diesel or a higher hp wanna be diesel. You could get into a Cat C7/3126E that would have torque around 900#' and weigh 1800# or so. Now you could get into a Cat C13 and get torque close to 2000#' and have a weight of around 2600# .
