Replacing Small Engines With Kohler Rebuild Kits Saves Money

noreply@blogger.com (Bob Lawrence Power Equipment) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 02:12:00 +0000

I was surfing the net, and found this great article by Ben Anton from 2008. I thought it would provide very useful information for our Golf Course customers. We can get you all of the parts you need to repair or rebuild your Kohler or most any small engine. So enjoy the article and visit us soon at Bob Lawrence Power Equipment, in Asheville NC. You can shop for parts and equipment 24/7 at www.BL-PE.com.

Golf course equipment upkeep is a chore but a necessary part of keeping any golf course in premier shape. Maintaining the carts, mowers and trucks used on any private or public course can help ensure that they run to their optimum potential and that they last for several years. However, situations do arise when the engine in one of these pieces stops performing at its best or goes out all together. In that situation, buying a new engine to replace it may seem like the best option. In many cases, however, it is not. Many small engines used in golf course equipment can be replaced with repowered Kohler or Briggs Stratton small engines. By using a repower kit, you can restore you mower, hauler or truckster to a more powerful, cleaner and quieter machine at a much more reasonable price.

Repower is the term used to describe replacing an old engine with a new engine, a used engine, a remanufactured engine, or electric motors, drives, or fuel cells. It essentially is an engine heart transplant for your equipment. A complete Kohler repower kit, for example, includes all the fittings, bolts and Toro parts you need to replace the engine in a Toro product with a new, improved Kohler small engine. The benefit of repowering is simple – replacing a poorly performing small engine with a repower kit can be as much as 90% less expensive than replacing the entire piece of equipment.

Depending on where you get the kit, you can replace the original 14 horse power motor with an 18 horse power motor that works harder, quieter, cleaner and for about 20 percent the cost of buying new. On top of that, the quality rebuild kits come with a full two year warranty on your new engine. And if your state has an Emission Reduction program, you may actually be able to be reimbursed for all or part of the cost of repowering your equipment with a cleaner engine. Check your state’s web site for local information, but in most states around the U.S., if the new engine significantly reduces the NOX emissions, you may qualify for grant money to repower with a new Kohler engine.

Golf course equipment use small engines, which are relatively simple to build and maintain, making them perfect for repowering. A recent improvement to small engine mower technology is the addition of gasoline engines with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems. It helps with fuel economy in traditional carbureted engines. This technology has been used by Kohler small engines – the savings you get when using Kohler engines that enable EFI technology is significant. For every $3.00 gallon of gasoline used in a mower, EFI technology will make it efficient enough to actually save $0.75.

Saving money and getting a superior engine are solid reasons to consider repowering the small engine in your Toro golf course equipment. Talk to an expert or read reviews online if you are looking to improve the performance of your course’s maintenance equipment.

Stihl Blowers and Sprayers

noreply@blogger.com (Bob Lawrence Power Equipment) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:55:00 +0000

Everyone who has one comments and raves concerning the Stihl Blower energy. Unmatchable with many leaf blowers in the market. They can out power Craftsman, Ryobi, Toro and more. And, in a single instance, although the statistics of Stihl blowers air movement or velocity are only slightly better than these other models, the leaf blowing in our tests was done in 20% of the time with much less work.
Owners like not having to walk through the sticky branches or stroll into their gardens to blow leaves. It was able to accomplish these things from a distance. Additionally, gutter extension attachments can be bought which means you do not have to go about the roof to clear your gutters.

Numerous comments had been created about how ergonomic and balanced the blower is. Other people have noted the additional long tubes (and tips) that come with it. These were obviously well liked because they eliminate stooping when performing the work and also the extra tips (with various shapes) supply for enhanced “impact blowing”.
Other features that had been well liked Stihl blowers price, the simple carburetor adjustment and easy starting. Nearly everybody commented about how it simple it starts after a couple of pulls. It also includes a “cruise control” to manage and lock in air flow and comes with small rubber feet to keep it from walking aside should you set it lower to do some thing.

Another really well-liked extra feature may be the vacuum attachment (and shredder blade). Owners were impressed with how effortlessly the leaf blower converts into a highly effective vacuum/shredder which vacuums and shreds leaves, (wet and or dry) sticks, and nuts. A single bushel leaf attachment bag comes with it. Stihl blower parts have been not hard to source. Many have been impressed with how nicely it handled damp leaves.

All in all, Stihl leaf blowers seem to be higher quality, durable and meant to be around for many years. The basics are the same throughout the whole line of Stihl leaf blowers. They are not the least expensive, “Don’t you always get what you pay for”? You merely cannot go wrong with a Stihl. For Stihl leaf blowers, chain saws, trimmers, and a full line of Stihl parts you simply can’t go wrong at Bob Lawrence Power Equipment in Asheville. Stop 265 Broadway St, Asheville NC 28801.

For the U.S. power equipment market, Honda introduced a new line of compact general purpose engines including the GX690 (horizontal shaft) and GXV690 (vertical shaft) engines, which combine high output with enhanced environmental performance. These 2-cylinder, OHV engines feature an integrated cylinder and head with enhanced cooling performance. Thanks to Digital Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI), they offer a compression ratio of 9.3:1—extremely high for air-cooled engines. Enhanced induction and volumetric efficiency and enhanced combustion made possible by the compact combustionchamber all contribute to an output of 16.6 kW―the highest among engines of equal displacement. Meeting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Phase 3 emission standards without the use of a catalytic converter, the GX690 and GXV690 offer 10% lower fuel consumption, while the high-capacity cooling fan and compact 3-chamber muffler help reduce noise by 1.5 dB, compared to previous-generation models (GX670, GXV670).

"We own and manage a 400 seat banquet hall with a large gravel parking lot. In the early spring our lot was in very poor shape due to heavy use and winter snow removal. The lot had pot holes, large bare spots, and gravel left in piles. We were faced with spending a few thousand dollars having gravel brought in and leveling out the entire lot.

Then I saw a commercial for the DR Power Grader on television...

I decided to spend the money and give the DR Power Grader a try. Well, in the first four hours the DR Power Grader had PAID FOR ITSELF !!! The DR Power Grader had filled in the potholes, covered the bare spots, and redistributed the piles of gravel !!! It looked like a new lot again !!!

That was two years ago and I STILL haven't bought any gravel.

Thanks DR Power Grader !!!"

Ban Placed On Unsafe Chainsaws

noreply@blogger.com (Bob Lawrence Power Equipment) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:40:00 +0000

An Unsafe Goods Notice, banning chainsaws that do not include the standard safety feature of a chain brake, has been issued by the Minister of Consumer Affairs Heather Roy.

"The Ministry of Consumer Affairs is aware of a number of chainsaws, without a chain brake, being imported and sold. This ban has been put in place as a precautionary measure, because of the safety risks to consumers who may buy and use chainsaws that do not have this feature," said Martin Rushton, Principal Advisor, Measurement and Product Safety Service, Ministry of Consumer Affairs.

The Unsafe Goods (Chainsaws without a chain brake) Notice 2009 bans the supply of any brand of petrol or electric chainsaw that does not comply with the international standard ISO 6535:2008 Portable chainsaws: Chain brake performance. This standard sets out testing procedures for chain brakes and specifies performance criteria.

"The Ministry is working in co-operation with New Zealand Customs Service, the Commerce Commission and major suppliers on this issue, to make sure that compliance costs are kept to a minimum."

The Unsafe Goods (Chainsaws without a chain brake) Notice 2009 is issued under section 31 of the Fair Trading Act. It is enforced by the New Zealand Customs Service at the border and the Commerce Commission in the marketplace. The ban came into effect for 18 months from 24 September 2009.

Breaches of an unsafe goods notice attract penalties of up to $60,000 for an individual and up to $200,000 for a company.

"Consumers should dispose of any chainsaws they have that do not have a chain brake. The Ministry also encourages consumers to report to the Commerce Commission instances where they see retailers selling chainsaws without a chain brake.

"Retailers stocking this type of product should remove them immediately from sale and dispose of them in a responsible manner," said Martin Rushton.

This ban also includes the sale of second-hand chainsaws that do not have the chain brake safety feature.
