Which 16 HP For the Tractor??????

I have a 16 HP single cylinder Kohler and a 2 cylinder Briggs engine. Both run fine-- no bad noises/ no oil burning/ start up fine. Looking to put one in my tractor. Either one would fit. What one should I install???

I've read that the tall single-cyl engines (like your Kohler) have more torque than the V-twins. But I don't have a V-twin so I don't know for sure.

The only knock I have on the Twin Briggs is I have seen several that knocked a valve seat loose and then it usually ends up beating the block up making it pretty much unusable,then again I run a couple that give me good service but I'm partial to the single cylinder Kohler and Briggs engines plus they burn a lot less gas.Of cours in final anaylis I like the enigne that I don't need to work on:D

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
