What owners say about Volvo Penta

Reviews, questions and photos from people who run the machines

We moderate reviews before they're published, but we don't fact-check them

Reviews are written by equipment owners and operators. Our team looks over each review before it goes live, and anyone can report a review they think breaks the rules.

We don't verify the claims made in reviews, so each one reflects the reviewer's own experience. Some reviews may have been collected from other public sources. Brands can reply to reviews but can't edit or remove them.

Compact Power, Great Fit

After 3,000 hours, the D13's compact footprint is impressive. For a 12.8-liter engine delivering 500 hp, it integrated into our equipment far better than previous brands.

Predictable Running Costs

Our old engine was a money pit. This D13, however, has predictable running costs. Fuel use is consistent, and routine maintenance on the 12.8L unit is simple.

Consistent Power for Our Mill

Our old engine was constantly causing downtime, but the D16 changed that. This 16.1-liter unit powers our main sawmill line without a hitch, day in and day out.

Good Power, Solid Support

After 18 months running our D16 in a large wood chipper, the engine itself has been flawless. When we needed a specific filter, the local dealer had it in stock quickly.
