[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2974348, member: 24531"] Well I had to get this behind me...it was a struggle when the decision came down to it with several models in front of me that I liked in or slightly above my price range. There was a John Deer 20hp V-twin 42", Cub Kohler w/ V-twin 46", Cub w/ Kohler 18hp single 42", and the Cub w/ 547cc fuel-injected 42". If the Kohler Courage didn't have the bad reputation, that was the one I wanted; the v-twins would have been a step up more than I wanted to spend if the one I originally wanted wasn't tainted. Ultimately, I took a chance on the relatively new fuelie because the extra cost included not just the injection but also bluetooth and the front bumper that doesn't come with the others. I am a little worried the Cub branded 547cc might be Chinese; I was hoping it was at least a re-labeled briggs or better yet a kawasaki but I doubt it. It ran good on the test drive though, slower than I hoped but its only a tractor. I do wish they listed the horsepower in the specs. Any ideas on that? But ultimately, the no choke, no hassles "idea" of fuel injection won me over. I don't think I really needed a v-twin or 46" for my needs. [/QUOTE]
