Which engine is better. Is it Kawaski or kohler.

 

[grassdaddy]

Run a search ,There was a poll a few weeks ago.I prefer kaw,but I had good luck with koh.once upon a time.All things being the same I'd take a 27koh over a 25kaw.

 

[ScagMe]

What if you compare a 25ka. to a 25koh or ,27kalc to 27koh.

 

[grassdaddy]

I'd choose the kaw everytime!!

Kawaski, definitely better. Especially the water cooled. I think they are still working the bugs out of the fuel injected models.

Kaw L/C!

Id definetly say Kohler. Kawasakis are hard starters when there cold, expensive parts and the company went direct rather than using distributers, i had a crank seal on back order for a month.

Do you guys with water cooled units find it hard to keep debris out of the radiator?

Dealer steered me away fom one because of that.

no,it has a removable screen infront of radiator.Blow it out at end of day with blower.Takes less than 30 seconds.

Your Dealer must have had a bunch of air-cooled to move,they'll tell you anything,they will lie as bad as car salesmen..

What about 15, 17 kawaski or 15,18 kohlor for a smaller mowers.

 

[grassdaddy]

I have a 17 kaw on scag w/b,its been wonderful so far.--but needs more power on 48" deck.23HP WOULD BE ABOUT RIGHT.

What about on a 36" hydro. Whats the best.
