In Reply to: Tecumseh vs B&S Engine posted by Sonny Dee on Thursday, January 24, 2002:
: I'm looking at buying a brand new Yardmachine 15.5Hp Tecumseh engine w/ a 42" deck (Peso124,400.00 w/o any warranty)as against a JD LT166 16Hp B&S engine 48" deck (Peso252,000.00 w/ 1 yr warranty)& a Toro Wheelhorse 18Hp Kohler engine 48" deck (Peso265,000.00 w/ 2 yr warranty). By looking at the price, the Yardmachine looks very appealing but w/o any warranty. I can buy two units as to the price of one. But I heard some bad reviews on the Tecumseh engine here in the Philippines. What do you think?
I think either engine is good. They both have there good and bad points. I would say if you are doing some hard work buy the JD. But if you have a light work load and can get parts for the yard man go with it. Because like you say run it for 2 or 3 years trash it and get a new one.
