| If you're going to be on steep hills I'd say something with pressurized oiling. As RompinRedneck said if you've got big meaty tires, or if you have tall gearing a higher HP engine is a big plus. In most cases just a good running Briggs flathead will be fine, and will be as reliable as you could ask for. | |

| I have had good luck with the big single ohv's. not quite as bullet proof as the flat heads, but a 17.5 single weighs a hell of a lot less than a 18hp twin. |

| i'v had 2 1997 b&s 11hp. both scraped. you do any thing to them thell have a hell of a time of running. when im on kijiji, i only look for a tractor with a 15 single cylender + or a 14hp oposed twin briggs. i have a cupple of each at the moment and after sitting outside thell keep starting. | |

| I always stick with I/C golds. Never ever have any problems with them, great on fuel, strong and easy to work on, i like flat heads cause there more simple and still get great power. Ive only ever had problems with tecumcehs, there not great and are soo finiky. | |

| Id say any flathead motor is good - ive had nearly all my tractors down in the mud - best performers were my 5HP , 10HP and 11 HP flatty briggs - ran the 10HP for quite a few years in the swamp behind the folks place - had no shortage of power, was really good on fuel.
I had a couple OHV teccys in the mud - one went decent enough- the other after it blew its muffler apart lost just about all its power. I have a few briggs OHV 14.5HP motors - personally i think theyre gutless wonders - could be they need valve adjusting , but stock theyre pretty much useless.

| whatever u can find would work fine but id jst get a ten to fifteen horse with pressurized lubrication because then if ur on hills or rocks or whatever u dnt need to worry about the oil staying in one part of the crank case an blowing it up so thts defvinatly a plus but id go with a ten to fifteen horse briggs but kholers an kawis are nice too remember | |
