Well if you don't like the exmark or toro because they are under powered, you're not going to like the JD either because the C52KS, JX90C and the JX 90CB all run the same Kawasaki engine the FJ180V KAI. They do make one with the caster wheels it the JS 63VC John*Deere JS63VC Mulcher Walk-Behind-Mowers

Well yes I saw that mower and knew it had the front caster wheels, but it is not in the same commercial mower lineup as the JX90CB. And yes, I also noticed that the JD has the Kawasaki engine, which is unfortunate.

I don't know if it's unfortunate or not, I can't believe that it's that bad an engine with it being used by as many different manufacturers like JD, Toro,and Exmark and I imagine a few others. I like the idea of the motor having an oil filter, I kinda feel like that's a plus in itself.. Personally it's has too beat a Briggs & Stratton hands down, nothing could be as bad as that.

Yeah I don't think it's a bad engine, but it might be a little underpowered for some of the heavy, commercial self-propelled "push" mowers. But yes, it is probably better than a Briggs and Stratton.
