"The new Commercial Series V-twin engine with EFI provides more
reliable starting," says Ryan
Fredrickson, product manager for consumer rides, Briggs
& Stratton Turf & Consumer Products. "Hot or cold,
regardless of conditions, the addition of electronic fuel injection
offers car-like starting. And because it uses a closed
fuel system, EFI helps preserve the fuel, preventing it from going
bad and reducing starting issues.
"This new engine option also provides load sensing to deliver
the necessary power—whether you are mowing on hills or in thick,
wet grass—to optimize cut quality," he comments.
Importantly, the Commercial Series V-twin engine with EFI can
save the operator up to 15% in fuel costs, compared to a standard
carbureted engine.2
The new engine option is featured on one 2WD and one 4WD
Prestige model. Both offer a Free Floating™ mower deck with
full-width rollers, a Quick Hitch™ deck removal system, power
steering, tilt wheel, cruise control and a hydraulic attachment
lift.
The 2WD model has a fabricated mower deck with limited lifetime
warranty3, Automatic Controlled Traction™, differential
lock and an SCS™ Suspension Comfort System which includes front
& rear suspension, a high speed transmission and an ergonomic
mesh seat.
The 2WD Prestige with the Commercial Series V-Twin with EFI has
a minimum advertised price (MAP) of $8299; the 4WD EFI model has a MAP of
$9299. Prices vary by
dealer. Taxes, freight, setup and delivery not included.
