Engine Poll: Vanguard vs. Kawasaki - Lawn Care Forum
Oct 6, 2010 · Kohler makes a very good "big" engine, but their mid-sized Command engines (13-15HP) are heavy, noisy, vibrating (single cylinder) and kinda obsolete. Nobody seems to want the "Courage" engines. 16 HP Vanguard= 479cc (better fuel economy) 16 HP Kawasaki= 603cc (more torque) Kohler makes a very good "big" engine, but their mid-sized Command ...

Kawasaki 31-35hp or 37hp Vanguard EFI - Lawn Care Forum
Dec 10, 2020 · I know the vanguard 37hp efi will use less fuel than the 31-35hp Kawasaki but this isn’t a huge deal to me as I will just be using this on my own personal property of 6 acres. I’d personally go for the Kawasaki. I think Kawasaki is always more powerful than a Vanguard or Kohler with the same power rating.
Kawaski FX801V vs FT730V - Lawn Care Forum
Apr 12, 2022 · I have a 2016 Ferris is2100z 61" with a 26HP Vanguard and a 2013 JD z930R 60" with a 25.5HP Kawasaki FX801. I love the Ferris but the FX801 is a beast; in fact I had planned to sell the JD and get a isx2200 with a 30+ HP motor but I ended up finding a isx3300 72" with a Kawasaki FX1000-EFI. Still selling the JD.
Kawasaki FH vs FS engines - Lawn Care Forum
Apr 13, 2010 · 3049 posts · Joined 2006. #5 · Apr 14, 2010. The new engines use pretty much all the same blocks/heads. The FR's usually get a cheaper single barrel carb and filter. The FS is a step up, cant remember if they are double barrel but this is the line you will see on most walkbehinds or low-mid level ZTR's. The FX is the top of the line with ...
Engine choice Kawasaki or Kohler - Lawn Care Forum
Jun 26, 2018 · Engine choices are Kohler zt730 or Kawasaki fx730v. I have looked at specs and other than the .5hp difference the Kohler has more displacement and torque. And based on what I’ve read Kohler tends to be more fuel efficient. I have mainly used kawi with the exception of one old Kohler 15hp. I’m purchasing a 61”Wright Velke and want the best ...

Which is better Kohler Command or Kawasaki V-Twin
Mar 2, 2010 · Reply Like. DT Lawn Care. 850 posts · Joined 2008. #3 · Mar 2, 2010. For lesser horsepower engines, I prefer the Kohlers. I would rather have a 15 hp Command than a Kawasaki 15 hp V-Twin. Seems like the Kohlers are constantly making it to 2500+ hours and some Kawasakis are having premature engine failure.
Engine Swap - Kawasaki 691v to Briggs & Stratton 44t977-0015
Jul 2, 2018 · The Kawa and Briggs engines in this power range seem to overwhelmingly be equipped with a 1" x 3-5/32" shaft with a full length 1/4" key way. You should be sure to check yours though as some used a 1-1/8" diameter shaft that is longer as well. Fourth, the mufflers between the Kawas and the Briggs do not interchange.
