  1. It’s funny I was just talking about fuel injected tractors earlier today with my boss. He said these are a pain in the ass to work on

  2. Iam a long time snapper mower buyer. You can get mutch better than a Snapper with a Briggs engine or one with a vanguard engine like I have. u can't kill them. that's all I would buy. over the last 25 years I have only had engine trouble once. it threw a rod. purchased a new briggs engine in 1993 and it's still working well after all this time. What a good product!

  3. I just read the manual.  Let me paraphrase:

    From Briggs & Stratton, famed maker of the Failtek series of budget power-equipment motors, comes a revolution in hair-pulling frustration.  Tired of adjusting your carburettor, playing with the throttle, choke, various screws and knobs to optimize performance or at least get the damn thing running?  BS has your answer: The Failtek Unified Computer-Knowledge Electronic Fuel Delivery system.  All the hassles of a fuel-sucker with none of the reparability.  

    Never mind that the Japanese have real fuel injection on their small engines.  Reliable cold-starting?  Who needs that?   Buy American.  Get FUCKEFD today.

    For the record: I am American and I am ashamed of my country's motor engineering.  

    No, it really is not fuel-injected.

  4. these electronics are so basic, i doubt a carbed pull start mower would last any longer

  5. Watch you buy one that uses commands by sound and it finds out you used a push mower the other day and it starts to ride off line and steer on it's own.

  6. I'm leery of the electronic dash and electric height adjustment, but do like the cast iron spindles with grease fittings

  7. even cars used Computer Controlled Carb, "CCC" before they used fuel injection.

    if someone were to make a fuel injection system modeled after GM TBI for lawnmower, i'd buy one

  8. electric fuel management? basically an electric choke, pretty neat, but i dont like all the computer stuff on the dash. I love my 20 year old K-gro lawnmower with a 18 HP Opposed Twin with a 6 speed Spicer manual trans. and when the battery is dead, I can wrap a wire around the belt pulley, and pull start it

  9. You'd think they'd put a honda engine in it to go along with all the other expensive crap. Can't make it much more expensive. If i were to spend that much I think I'd look into a disel Kabota. It would be the last mower or at least the last engine you'd ever need, unless you are mowing a golf course.

  10. Nice to see tractor companies starting to make quality machines again, although Im not sure about all the plastic. Does look cool though. Definatly fancy. I can imagine that costing a bomb though!
