</font><font color="blue" class="small">(   I see the cheaper JD LT's are using entry level Briggs Intek engines rather than the Kohler Courage, I wonder if JD is just letting the other manufacturers test the water with the Courage line?

Even a Courage is likely more expensive than the Briggs Intek, and the Kohler is probably a better engine. The higher end JD's use Kawasaki engines but Kaw doesn't have a low cost line as far as I know. That might explain why the low end tractors don't use them too.
