BRIGGS & STRATTON 27 HP V-TWIN ENGINE.

[Warzzhorse]

I AM THINKING OF BUYING A JONSERED RIDING MOVER OR GARDEN TRACTOR WITH THE 27HP V-TWIN ENGINE AND TORQ-TUFF HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GETTING INTO WITH THIS SETUP. I HAVE HEARD THE BRIGGS ENGINE IS SO-SO AND THAT THE TORQ-TUFF IS NOT SO GOOD.
CAN ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS, I'M NOT UP TO DATE ON LAWN MOWERS. THANKS.

Those V twin B&S Intek engines will give good service if you take care of them. Keep debris cleaned out of cooling shroud, check oil and change regularly, check valve clearance once a year anyway as B&S recommends. We have 2 of them. Have no idea about the rest.
