Between the two lawnmower engines of Briggs and Stratton and Kohler, which has the better quality?

Please give your opinion why.|||i believe kohler is higher quality ,and would last the longest.but it usaully costs more and repairs or higher.briggs is good and cheaper to repair.if buying a rider i wanted to really last i would choose a kohler.|||I think that both make good engines, it would depend upon the horsepower and fitness for the particular purpose that you want. For the higher horsepower engines (over 20 hp) Kohler is the largest Cast Iron engine manufacturer in the world and made in the Good Ole USA. Briggs is also made in the US but I think that they are using more imported parts and assemblies, but they make a fine engine, especially in the lower horsepower range. All things being equal I'd buy the Kohler to keep our neighbors in Wisconsin working.|||When I bought a Sears Lawn tractor, the seemingly knowledgeable older salesman said that I could get either, and asked if we had any hills in our yard. I said that we did and he then said we should get the Kohler engine because it had a full pressure oil system like a car engine. The Briggs and Stratton engine had only a splash type primitive system that would leave the engine without oil when climbing or descending a hill. He also thought the Kohler was the more durable longer lasting engine. This was about 5 years ago and so far the engine has been perfect. I am not sure if the offerings have changed since then.|||I would buy a Briggs lawnmower. They have a long history of proven performance.





Check what sort of warranty is offered on both models and go from there. It it's pretty much the same then check out the other features to help you make up your mind.|||What ever one does the job your the Consumer it gos buy what you feel is the best . ok later|||Briggs is a proven winner in my family for over 60 years. Kohler make faucets don't they? never even heard of a kohler motor.
