Woodydel Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Kent, Just kidding, I like the engines that run. I predict anything Kohler will win hands down...MadManX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 25, 2002 Author Share Posted March 25, 2002 Well, with over 50% of the votes the front-end loader was clearly the winner in the "most wanted" attachment category.... I've started a new poll on your favorite engine, listing these choices: Briggs single Kohler single Briggs I/C flat twin Kohler KT twin Briggs Vanguard V-twin Kohler Command V-twin Onan CCKA/CCKB twin Couple of points: (1) Let's keep this to a "friendly poll" since I know there's some strong feelings on some of these... (2) I've had to "generalize" to get this down to only seven choices -- if one of these general categories is NOT your favorite (your favorite is a Honda, Kawasaki, Kohler Triad, or other engine) simply don't respond. I couldn't list ALL possible alternatives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlcentral Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I'd keep them in the same order as you listed ,,, only switching brands to Koh for Briggs on the positions of the twins.That Koh. magnum twin is a very nice piece imo,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Kent, I didn't vote because ANY engine that runs is okay with me. I do notice that the Briggs & Kohler singles are running away with the vote. I guess the poor guys that only have foot pegs for safety need something noisy and vibrating to keep them alert. Every once in a while I doze off while using my smooth & quiet V-twin Sovereign with the running boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 26, 2002 Author Share Posted March 26, 2002 Dutch, Is that before or after it chokes on all the grass clippings it sucks into the air cleaner? BTW, I understand that a grader blade is only about 1/2 as much fun, if the running boards prevent you from standing on the edge of the blade for downforce as you grade....

Roy Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Very good Kent! You are "spot on" about clippings in the air cleaner. ;o) Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodydel Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Being a Cub Cadet fan as well, I was fooled by the poll. I guess whatever you drive is what you like. Cadets are Kohler dominated and Simplicity is Briggs. Having both that run well made it a toss up for me. Not many Onan owners...MadManX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Good one Kent..made my day! I like the single cast irons because they sound like an antique tractor should. I wouldnt necessarily want one on my home back up generator, or my girls go cart. But it works perfect for the tractor - heavy, and a broader power curve.
