The New Force in the Walk-behind Mower Market – The Kohler XT Series!
Thursday, October 23, 2008
KOHLER Engines has recently entered the walk-behind mower market with the release of its first walk-behind engine models, the Courage XT-6 and XT-7 Series. Utilising 80 years of commercial-ride features and technology, Kohler has designed a walk-behind engine that will make a mark in the walk-behind mower industry.
The KOHLER Courage XT-6 and XT-7 models are both air cooled, four-cycle, single cylinder, vertical shaft petrol engines. The XT-6 series engine is 3.5 horsepower, 3600 RPM and 2.5kw. The XT-7 series is the larger of the two engine models at 4.5 horsepower, 3600 RPM and 3.5kw.
Engineered in the United States, the new XT Series has been designed with high performance and ease of use in mind. In addition to being easy to start, the KOHLER overhead valve design provides for efficient combustion and strong performance, with minimal fuel consumption and emissions.
To enhance the engine life, KOHLER uses a commercial-grade, cast iron cylinder liner which is standard on both models. A forged (not cast) crankshaft is also part of the new Kohler walk-behind engines, providing a superior tensile strength and performance especially for heavy loads.
Finally, the exclusive feature of a wide-diameter, fuel tank opening is also standard to make refuelling easier.
