Features:
Engine performance, by the numbers.
- From power and torque numbers to engine features and more, the following is here to help communicate engine performance details and capabilities. Be sure to consider these specs to help ensure the engine you’re choosing is a match to your mowing needs.
Overhead v-valve
- Maximizes airflow and volumetric efficiency in the 852cc block, providing the "grunt" needed for high-speed cutting.
90° V-twin
- Eliminates engine vibration to reduce operator fatigue and extend the life of the mower's chassis and drive belts.
Pressurized lubrication system
- Uses a dedicated pump to force filtered oil to critical bearings, ensuring survival on steep inclines and high-heat conditions.
Electronic spark ignition
- Provides maintenance-free, precision timing for instant starts and consistent power delivery across the entire RPM range.
Automatic compression release
- Temporarily reduces cylinder pressure during cranking, allowing the engine to fire instantly while protecting the battery.
High efficiency oil cooler
- Drastically reduces oil temperatures, preventing thermal breakdown and extending the service life of the 27HP internals.
Rotating metal grass chopper screen
- Physically shreds grass clippings and uses centrifugal force to clear the intake, preventing overheating in dry conditions.
Multi-Stage canister air filter
- Offers elite protection against microscopic dust with a massive holding capacity for 1,000+ hour commercial seasons.
Cast-iron cylinder liners
- Provides a rugged foundation that resists scuffing and maintains compression longer than standard aluminum bores.
Metal engine cover with integrated clean out ports
- Offers industrial-grade impact protection and allows for 30-second debris removal without tools.
Heavy duty shift-type starter
- Delivers the high-torque engagement required for reliable, "turn-key" operation of the massive 852cc displacement.
