the right engine(s)
I'm a commercial landscape contractor, have been now for 21 years, learned a long time ago to not buy any piece of equipment with a B&S engine on it. The early stuff I had with B&S engines were pure crap and couldn't "hang" with the daily use my crews needed. I remember about 10 years ago, the only engine I could get on the Toro Commercial mower was a B&S engine, I bought two and it only took about 6 months before we had retro-fitted them with Honda engines. The dealer I bought these mowers from had a "PILE" of crappy B&S return engines at their shop. I know Toro will never buy B&S engines again. Sorry but it's true.........another thing the B&S morons did was to "clad" their old school engines in modern black plastic housings ( making them look modern & new ) however, the engine was crap and the "cladding" just made it more difficult to repair.
