Does it have Sirius XM radio and air conditioning?
great, now i can slap a turbo to it
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
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!
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.
My friend brought one in 2010 and no problems yet
haha thats what george carlin said
So, is there a reason someone needs a mower with electronic crap on it?
these electronics are so basic, i doubt a carbed pull start mower would last any longer
Not fuel injected, just electronic choke and throttle control.
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.
I'm leery of the electronic dash and electric height adjustment, but do like the cast iron spindles with grease fittings
How much are these lawn tractors?
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
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
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.
It even has a 12 volt outlet to plug in your GPS!
With so much electronic stuff in this thingy, I think it will break down in less than 2 years.
I want this thing SO BAD!
people are so going to mod the ecu and turbo the mofo
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!
