I have both of these and need to sell one. The goal is to make a profit on one, and use the other at another small property. Which is better? How are these engines?
DYT4000: Briggs Intek 18.5 HP Engine w/ Hydro Tranny 42" Deck w/ bagger.
-New headgasket, pushrods, and retainer plate. Head should be replaced as it burns oil thru the valve guides. It will burn a ton of oil if you go down a steep hill.
-New spindles
-New blades.
-New belt.
-Carb Service.
-New rectifier for charging.
-Electric PTO, (works perfect.)
LT2000: Kohler Command Pro CV492s 18 Engine w/ Hydro Tranny 42" side discharge.
-Did nothing, engine runs like it is new.
-Has manual deck pto lever.
-Feels cheaply made compared to DYT4000 but like the engine a lot and like the fact there is no electric pto to fail.
-Deck will need new spindles and blades in another season or so.
