34 March 2017 Landscape and Irrigation www.landscapeirrigation.com 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.
