Had anyone had any experience with the new breed of EFI by Kohler?

and more specifically on the new Exmark machines.
looking to get one this week if you guys have good opinions.
is 10500 a good price?

Thanks

Cboy7, I posted a similar query thread about this engine, and got zippo responses. I guess you and I are going to be the first here to have them. I should be getting mine on a toro G3 in a week or two.

You know, if you buy a walk behind at the same time you can get in on Exmarks fleet program discount. I just got a flyer from the local Exmark dealer saying they're running a special for the next couple weeks that lets you qualify for the fleet program with only 6 points. The lazer is 4, and the walk behind is 2. You might want to check it out. You could end up getting the walk behind for a song. I'm using the opportunity with Toro to upgrade to a hydro.

What kind of disount are they giving you for the fleet program?

Dont know about the fleet program but the nonprofit was 30% off earlier this year.

I'm not sure what Exmark is offering on this special. I'm getting 23 percent off retail on Toro's fleet program.

Thanks for the response.

yea the guy said they are literally just now being shipped from the factory. was supposed to be Jan 2010.

I dont need a walkbehind, but also was wondering how much a discount they have for fleet program. I am sure I could talk a friend into dropping 10k on one as well

Non profit is 28

My dealer said notta about the fleet program. Said a ZTR is 4 points and you need 12 to qualify. It's a 15% discount and he already takes 10% meaning an extra 5% if you buy 3 units. I mentioned the recent drop in points and he knew nothing of it. Go figure, but I'm not buying a WB just for the hell of it either. Oh, and my price on a 29Kaw 60" Next Lazer Z was $10,182 plus $2799 for triple bag bagger. So 10,500 is within reason I'd say.

My dealer says it would take 3-4 mowers to qualify.

so noone on here even knows someone that could give advice on the new kind of efi on the next lazer?

thanks guys

Kohler is still using a closed-loop automotive style efi. It's the best fuel injection system available. I haven't run the new style yet, but I have a lot of faith in it.

 

[Cboy7]

yes the rep said you can get the same error codes as with cars , and its a proven system.

Ordered the Next Lazer with 29hp EFI kohler.

one of the very 1st off the production line to make it to the southeast.
hope to look at the Husqvarna pz when they have EFI and DFI models ( I think next yr maybe)

Sweet let us know how it runs. Some GPH figures would be nice also. Do they offer a government contract discount similar to the non profit?

Back in my motorcylcle riding days, I was skeptical of the EFI. Now, I am a believer. I can only think that the small motors will follow the same path.

Just received a call from my dealer today. After an extended wait, he says my toro G3 with the kohler 29 EFI will be in next tuesday.

Great news! I'm sure you will love it. I really like the Kohler EFI's.

Thanks, Tacoma. It's taken a while to get ztr's with this engine to dealers, so I thought I'd give everyone a heads up that they're on the way. I was a little leery about buying a new model engine, but my understanding is it's the same platform as their other EFI's, which like yourself, people seem pleased with. Guess I'll be one of the first to provide a review on this new engine, soon as the ski lifts close and grass starts to grow, here in the mountains.

Good to see you posting again.

Hey fastman , you take delivery of the new EFI unit yet?

the exmark were a bit delayed in shipping, but have one of the first 3 here. going to try it tomorrow.

Congrats, Cboy, you beat me to it. Mine's suppose to come in next Tuesday. My dealers been frustrated trying to get it in, Toro has been slow getting them out of the factory too. Let me know how you like yours.

What are your impressions as far as the Ultra Cut vs the Turbo Force decks?
