EQUIPMENT FOCUS
E N G I N E S
KOHLER AEGIS ENGINE
WITH EFI TECHNOLOGY
Kohler Engines expanded its line of
Electronic Fuel Injected (EFI) engines with
the launch of the newly modified Aegis EFI
engine. The liquid-cooled engine, designed
for use in utility vehicles, lawn and garden
equipment, heavy-duty construction
equipment and other applications, now
features Kohler's latest EFI technology for
optimal fuel efficiency, improved power
and enhanced reliability. The Aegis engine
joins an extensive line of more than 30 EFI
models, which has continued to grow since
Kohler pioneered the company's first EFI
twin-cylinder engine in 1996.
Built to last, the Kohler Aegis EFI's liquid-
cooling system helps maintain consistent
running temperatures while keeping oil cool,
limiting engine wear and tear. The engine's
new EFI technology comes equipped with
advanced sensors, which monitor engine
running conditions and environmental
factors to optimize engine performance. EFI
technology replaces carburetors, eliminating
the need for carburetor-related maintenance
and costly downtime. EFI also offers easy,
automotive-like starting for reliable and
consistent performance, job-after-job.
The Kohler Aegis EFI is a V-Twin,
horizontal-shaft, gasoline engine available
in a 30-hp. model.
YAMAHA MXV-EFI
SERIES ENGINES
Yamaha Motor Corp. USA's Outdoor Power
Equipment division recently unveiled an
all-new line of vertical V-twin engines for
the lawn and garden market. Yamaha's
new MX775V-EFI, MX800V-EFI and
MX825V-EFI engines are purpose built for
commercial landscape zero-turn radius
(ZTR) mowers. The all-new MXV-EFI series
engines combine Yamaha's historic quality,
high performance and durability standards
with landscape ZTR-specific design and
development, resulting in outstanding
performance and higher fuel efficiency than
competitive models on the market.
The vertical V-twin engines deliver more
power and torque — ranging from 29
certified gross horsepower to 33 certified
gross horsepower — than competitive
models. The result is a smooth, even cut with
consistent speeds even in difficult high-grass
conditions. Three valve hemispherical heads,
closed-loop electronic fuel injection (EFI)
with variable ignition timing, and low-friction
design result in highly fuel-efficient engines,
saving users both time and money. Features
include easily accessible hatches that
make for quick and simple maintenance, a
protective rotating grass screen that protects
against debris clogging, and a specially
designed stainless-steel muffler that will fit a
wide variety of ZTR mower frames.
