25 JUNE 2010 LANDSCAPEMANAGEMENT NET Kohler The Courage XTR 6 engine joins Kohlers line of walk behind recoil and electric start engines The 35 net hp vertical shaft engines Energy Saver electric starter provides 30 more starts per battery charge and is 40 lighter than older models Its also available with a 05 amp charging system The overhead valve design provides efficient combustion and strong performance with minimal fuel consumption and emissions A commercial grade cast iron cylinder bore enhances engine life All XT series engines also are equipped with a flywheel ball bearing which protects the engine when operating at extreme angles Kohler com Plews Edelmann LubriMatic Green is a family of premium quality bio based products that include a variety of spray lubricants penetrants and greases These lubricants are formulated from renewable biodegradable vegetable oils and have four times the natural lubricity of most petroleum based products They are less likely than traditional lubricants to thin down at high temperatures so they provide lower equipment operating temperatures In addition each product is made from U S grown crops and does not have the harsh odor found in traditional lubricants LubriMaticGreen com Subaru Two new models of electronic fuel injection engines EH72 V twin and EH72 UTV are designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while providing fast easy starts in a wide range of ambient temperatures The engines run on an open loop system which uses an electronic control unit Using several different sensors that detect manifold pressure ambient temperature and throttle position the ECU constantly is relaying information to the injector which then is able to deliver the proper air to fuel ratio Allowing for differences in operating speed applications and fuel type the estimated fuel economy improvements are 11 to 25 better than a similar carbureted engine SubaruPower com
