We dont have many of them here at all, except in the Daf's i think. The Cummins would still be a better bet.
2016 Cummins E6 any good?

Examining the Factory data reveals the engine to be a redtop 600 horse. you can get it with rating up to 2050 pounds torque and maybe a bit more for really special applications like fire engine or tow recovery work. If you do this, you need a drive train that can take the load. This aint no POS 1350 company torque engine.
I think it's a nice engine, big horse and torque and all.. but you Aussies have Road Trains, which we don't and something like 3000 miles of dirt and cattle clear across your Country. I would be very careful what engine you pick. Cummins I think was from the Sea driving ships at one rpm for weeks and months. CAT comes up with horses in a hurry. And Detriot likes to lug. (Im not talking about ball peen hammer banging abuse Im talking about where it lugs to torque rpm and hangs there a while before you really have to shift.
The more horse you have the less work you have to ask of it, literally less fuel per hour. If you had a tiny 300 horse engine, your fuel burn will exceed 30 gallons an hour before it pants and fails like a overloaded horse in the heat. Savvy?oldson81 Thanks this. -
Changing a MX13 to EURO 5 will be easier(fixed turbo no egr no dpf)
Whatever you decide ,think long and hard.
With EURO 6 the danger is getting a engine that is overpowered.
It needs to work to get enough heat in the system to clean the dpf.
That is also why you do not idle them. -
