Yangdong Y385T

The register lists here 5 versions with 16 to 40 kW rated output at 1,800 to 2,350 rpm, from three- to four-cylinders in inline layout with 80 to 90 mm bore and 90 to 100 mm stroke. Maximum torque ranges from 85 to 212 Nm at 1,645 to 1,800 rpm. Four of the five engines carry a waste-gate turbocharger, four run direct injection and one indirect injection. Among the emission stages, three versions are Tier 4 (Final or Phase-in) and two Interim Tier 4, the model years fall in 2011 and 2012; the 8 to 19 kW power category is the most common with three versions, with one version each in the 19 to 37 kW and 37 to 56 kW categories. Certification in each case covered the states outside California.

Engines of this class drive small construction machinery, compact loaders, generator sets and pumps; as a Chinese small-diesel maker, Yangdong chiefly supplies price-oriented applications in the construction- and farm-machinery segment.

On a used purchase, operating hours and the service history of the injection system count, on the turbocharged versions the condition of the turbo and the tightness of the charge-air ducting, on the indirect-injection engine additionally the glow-plug system and cold-start behaviour, plus the tightness of crankshaft seals and valve cover; since the model years fall in 2011 and 2012, parts availability is worth checking in advance.
