I agree with that, and I am kinda eager to hear from anyone who buys a machine with the new Kawi EFI on it as well. I don't really know of any particular brand or model that is utilizing them though, at least not as of yet.
I am very interested as well, you keep up with things like that a little better than me, please make me aware if you hear of what mower company may start utilizing this engine?
 
Kohler on Exmark/Toro has the most sophisticated setup with red or horizan technology. It can be adjusted to cutting conditions and automatically adjusts rpm when engaging/disengaging the blades.
It is a slick system, but they've had a lot of trouble with the first year and a half or so of production. Quite a few guys here have mentioned the problems, and the very large Exmark dealer I buy all my HH's from has had a lot of them come back. We talked at great length with an Exmark engineer a year ago about the system. They have all sorts of plans for it in the future, and there are a ton of things that they can do with it, and have plans for that most of us would never even think possible. He said they are waiting to release stuff a little at a time, both for the obvious reason of marketing, and because it would overwhelm both dealers and users to have all of it to learn all at once. If they would just put a better cutting deck for commercial use in any condition under them (both brands), they'd have an extremely good machine.
