I currently have a 7y/o Exmark and it is on it's 2nd engine. The hour meter has stopped working on it at 953 hrs. The engine was replaced at 700 hours by a friend of mine that owns a grass buisness. Although it has been good to me, I will never own another Kohler powered machine (snow blower, power skate board, ...nothing!!!) For not having any major issues with it, I really don't like it and routinely put 1/2 to 3/4qts of oil in it after cutting my yard just once or twice. Does not smoke, so the oil is escaping somewhere. Now, my next one will be a Exmark, but will have a different power plant.
