New ESeries Mower Engines from Briggs Stratton

MILWAUKEE (Fall 2011) –  Briggs & Stratton Corporation makes it easier than ever for homeowners to have a great looking lawn with the introduction of the E-Series™ engine line-up for spring 2012.  From easy one-step starting to improved performance and reduced emissions, the E-Series™ engines deliver a distinctly enhanced lawn mowing experience.

“The E-Series represents an evolution in push mower engines, offering distinct quality and features even on the most basic engine in the series,” says JP Benjamins, product marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton.  “Everything about these engines is aimed at making the mowing experience easier and better for consumers, while at the same time supporting retailers with the choices they need to satisfy any homeowner.”

The wide range of choices in the E-Series™ makes it easy to match the right engine to any homeowner’s lawn care needs and budget.  The 550e and 550ex Series™ engines give entry level mower buyers plenty of hassle-free features they will appreciate coupled with Briggs & Stratton reliability and power to get the job done.  The 625e, 675ex and 725ex Series™ evolve the company’s most popular line of engines, offering more than a dozen design improvements for those who want high performance mowing.

Here are some of the key attributes of the E Series™ engines:

550e and 550ex Series™

·         Easier starting with the ReadyStart® starting system (no need to choke or prime,  just pull the rope for power) which is available on the 550ex.

·         Best in class torque-to-weight ratio means the engine has the power to get the job done while being light enough for easy maneuvering.
