    Hustler Super Z 25 Kaw
    Exmark Liquid 22 Kaw
    Ferris 52 17 Kaw
    Wright Stander 15 Kaw


    I guess I would have to say I perferr Kawasaki!

    Better fuel economy, Not as loud.

    The kohler 27 air seams to be a good engine. Ive heard several local fellas like it. Its the same as the 25 with a different carb.

    My new mower has a 23 kaw on it. I had two scag wb. One had a kaw the other was a kohler. I always liked the kaw better. It has always been easier to start. It had been sitting for two months and it started on the first pull.

    If you prefer kawasaki and not an american company dont complain too much about the economy, or unemployment.

    I love both of them and have several of each can't complain with either one. I prefer kohler but thats more of a price issue then anything else.
