Title: Kohler command single vs honda gxv???
Post by: Mower Maniac on May 19, 2018, 01:39:31 am

I am wondering what you guys think would work best. Both will end up costing me about the same when said and done, but the kohler will end up being a lot bigger than the honda, however, it is easier to make the honda a little bigger. I have seen lots of good things bout both so I don't know what to go with. This would be for a cp mower that weighs about 530 with me on it.

I’m partial to Kohler as that is what my sponsor builds. 

I don’t think you can go wrong with either one as long as it is done right.

Honda did have a vertical motor in a lawn mower, I worked on the only one I ever saw,
it came in the mower shop I worked at one time. I wanted to buy it from the customer.. LOL
