Engines with User-Friendly Features Help Eliminate Lawn Mowing Hassles

Grass cutting season is in full swing, which means homeowners from coast-to-coast are searching for new, more effective, and easier-to-use lawn mowers. Fortunately, leading engine manufactures, like Kohler Engines, are making selecting an ideal lawn mower simple by reminding consumers to look at the engine. It’s critical to remember that selecting the ideal mower starts by selecting the one with the ideal engine. Many engines, like Kohler’s Courage^® XT Series for walk-behind lawn mowers, incorporate numerous user-friendly features that help deliver professional results while also eliminating some of the hassles associated with cutting the grass.

“When developing the Courage XT Series, we listened closely to consumers and then incorporated new features to address the most prevalent and bothersome issues people encounter when mowing their lawn,” said Dan Luhman, senior product manager for Kohler Engines. “The end result is a series of engines that we’re incredibly proud of. Our Courage XT engines are unbelievably easy to start and offer mess-free, fast fueling. Plus, they’re designed to provide very consistent performance in a variety of conditions and an unmatched level of durability.”

So, what are some of the helpful features consumers should be seeking out when selecting a new walk-behind mower? Here are a few of the game-changing improvements now incorporated into all mowers featuring the Kohler Courage XT Series:

• Accu-Fill^™ – Filling the fuel tank on many mowers can be a real challenge. But, engines with Accu-Fill incorporate a unique angled neck as well as an opening that is 45 percent larger than most mowers. This translates to easier filling and less spilling, which helps save money and is better for the environment. To reduce overfilling, most engines with Accu-Fill also feature a red fuel-level indicator inside the tank so the user can see the gas level as it approaches the top.

• Smart-Choke^™ – Priming and choking the engine are no longer required with Kohler’s Smart-Choke technology. This unique system automatically manages the start-up process, so there is no risk of flooding the engine. Simply pull the chord and go.

·         Consistent Cut^™ technology – This proprietary system delivers more consistent power to the mower deck in extreme load conditions, which translates to less clumping and less double cutting. With Consistent Cut technology, consumers can easily power through the thick, wet grass that often stalls other mowers.

• Easy-Pull Recoil – Incorporating a pulley that is 13 percent larger, Easy-Pull provides smooth, effortless starting, which is easier on the user’s hands and shoulders.

• Solid Construction – All Kohler Courage XT engines utilize a cool-running OHV design and tough cast-iron cylinder bore. This durable construction allows mowers to last longer in harsh conditions and helps consumers avoid costly trips to the repair shop.

“All of these professional-grade features help make any walk-behind mower both tougher and easier to use,” Luhman continued. “So, it’s very important for consumers to really look at the engine when evaluating or purchasing their next lawn mower. After all, a better engine means a better mower.”

Kohler Courage XT Series engines can be found in a variety of lawn mower models from popular manufacturers, including Toro, Husqvarna, Ariens and Lawn Boy. For more complete details, including educational videos, please visit www.KohlerEngines.com.
