This is the last Kolher I will have, every machine I have had before was Kawasaki gas or Kubota diesel and I put 500-1000 hrs on them with no issuebut I bout this and have been through head baskets and now its blown

When they say make sure it has gas and oil. That doesn't mean add gas and oil in the gas tank like a two stroke. You actually have to check the earl. :-)

You know I take better care of my stuff then probably anyone you know, when a motor only last 150 hrs and it don't call for oil change but every 100+ hrs mine gets changed twice a yr.... I would buy a Briggs Stanton before I bought a Kolher again

Just called the shop and they are putting a 30hp Briggs commercial v-twin for $1700 with 3yr warranty, beats the crap out of that Kohler trash that was $3500 for a 25hp and only 2yr warranty

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.
