The innovations bolster the professional-grade performance and durability of Exmark’s small and mid-sized zero-turn riding mowers. Learn more: www.exmark.com/...
I've dealt with many mowers. Especially when starting my company. The Exmark mower and motor is absolutely great! I run that mower NON STOP and it's got plenty of power. Definitely a good investment!
I do a lot of work at a Toyota engine plant, which I believe everyone will agree makes a very dependable engine. And I can assure you, nylon or at least polymer, (I don't know anything about plastic type stuff") is in the engines, from timing chain guides to what I think is a gear for the oil pump, i've not really studied it in all the time I spend there. Weight is not an issue with a metal gear, seems dumb they are using that as an issue, they wouldn't weigh that much different and weight could mostly come into effect when changing the rpm. It for sure, is quieter. This gear is what's called a straight "spur gear" which can be really loud especially when manufactured cheaply where the two sets of gears don't slide together and meet smoothly when in operation. If quality is what they where going for, they would have made a "harringbone" or at least an "helical" gear, which they wouldn't because of cost. No my friends, they did this for Cost, and the sound is a byproduct. The gear inside the Toyota engines are a Helical, which makes them tougher, and I would say quieter, but that's not really an issue with nylon. What I dont know about, is different types of nylons, and how they can put up with the force required to run a two piston cam shaft with the heat that's in the engine
the nylon cam gear is not a big deal. my father was a diesel mechanic and he said they had tractor trailer engines with nylon gears with hundreds of thousands of miles on them and they didnt have issues. like everyone on here i would prefer metal but nylon isnt necessarily a problem. i hope this engine withstands the test of time and becomes a legend
Love the design of this engine. The carburetor is VERY easy to remove and install. The carb is also very simple to work on. Love the easy to remove upper shroud and oil drain system. It also has aluminum valve covers instead of crappy plastic.
Many companies still use nylon and for good reason...including the god of power equipment Kawasaki. This looks like a well made engine.
I don't know why people are so mad about this engine, it's clearly proven itself over the past decade. people complain that it's made in china and yeah it is just like kawi and honda have their engines made in china. it all depends on the manufacturer not the country. lots of quality products are made in china. people need to get over themselves 😒and nylon cam gears are in ALL the different brands of v-twins. Honda has them Kawi has them Subaru has them and of course Kohler and so on. the only way those could fail is if you let the engine overheat way above it's operating temp. which as you can imagine is very unlikely on a lawn mower.
same engine as the harbor freight predator 708cc
You are correct Sir
No predator is made by lifan in china
These exmark Branded motors are from loncin motor company in china
that plastic cam gear is asking for trouble. kohler found that out the hard way.
800 hous purring fine
Loncin motor. Considering the quality of a residential machine, this motor is a good fit.
I’m considering a Radius for personal use. Didn’t realize Exmark “made their own” engine. Apparently you have to move to the Lazer series to get the Kawasaki. Exmark (Toro) is doing what many manufacturers have done - instead of buying an engine from Kawasaki for $1200, they sub a Chinese outfit to make an “equal” for $500 less. This is an additional $500 profit per mower sold, greatly increasing the bottom line (making stock holders happy).
Is there still a US manufacturer that says, “I know it costs a little more, but we use the best components that we know of”?
I’ve got mixed feelings on the nylon gear. Of course, we would all like to see it as carbon steel. However, it does lend itself to noise (which comes from vibration). Vibration has its own set of long-term consequence - This is bitter-sweet.
Todd Zembower the radius X has the kawi and is a great buy
LISTEN UP!!! THE CAM GEAR IS NYLON. NOT PLASTIC! Plastic will melt (briggs) Nylon won't (Kawasaki uses nylon).
Briggs uses nylon in their gears. Not plastic. They most likely use PA6 with glass fiber.
But your missing the point... it’s Chinese Nylon!!
UH what happens if you break that piece sticking down that the drain hose slides into?
I snapped mine right off doing the 5 hour oil change.
What happens is that you stick a bolt in the hose and carry on. This appears to be the recommended fix and it happens to a LOT of people. They're supposedly working on a fix as I type. But since the engine is manufactured in China by Loncin, it may take a while to happen.
Hello, I need some help on this engine first to say a valve fell out into the cylinder and it destroyed the piston and head so I bought new head assmbly with piston and rings anyway its all back together compression is 160 was running good then a little pop started and left but then the motor just quit although i can restart it so I discovered not enough vac at the intake I mean this thing hardly draws any fuel does any one have a suggestion to help me figure out where the vac went? I now have noticed a small leak of oil at the oil pump cover at bottom of motor but its not terrible..any advice I would appreciate! Both sides have great compression..If I run it wide open it does fine for a little while then it will eventually run out of fuel..
4:29 Look how cheap that eXmark lawn mower control panel is, tons of flex!
Wouldn't it be a 22 HP engine if it has only 708 cc?
Can I replace a kohlor courage 19 with this motor
Liked everything but the plastic cam gear. Any news that it has changed?
IT'S NYLON! Briggs is plastic. NYLON WON'T MELT!
@@andybub45 Andrew is mad 😡
Exmark is a terrible company for quality in 2019! I have had 2 issues from a brand new lawnmower. Grease fitting was stripped out I noticed when I got it home and after 2 hours of use one of the blades came loose and the belts seized up. I babied the thing. Never hit anything! If they don’t make it right my goal is to tell everyone my experience!
Toro Exmark is Chinese Junk.
Mine is backfiring out exhaust when starting while warm. Brand new motor with less than 10 hours. Any ideas why?
Hello - sorry to hear that. Please contact Exmark Customer Service at 800-667-5296 with your model number and serial number to discuss the warranty options available. Thank you.
@@ExmarkManufacturing thanks for responding. Heres a link to my video of the issue im having with my radius: czcams.com/video/Dg0R4wVWXXQ/video.html
Hello and good afternoon turn your mower off with the motor wide open it cuts the gas off and runs out of gas so it will not enter the muffler when you cut off that is why it back-fires
Thats exactly the same as the Toro 708cc. Lol good engines just crappy carbs and or ethanol for the win.
Harbor Freight too
Nice engines!
Hi
I have this same engine I think, in a Toro SW5425. It is not a great set up. If you have a smaller yard...one or two acres flat...it's okay. Bigger than that, buy a better machine or spend all afternoon cutting the grass.
Exmark is a brand of Toro. This is a generic Chinese engine. 750 bucks at harbor freight tools.
Is this the same engine that is on the new Toro's? They are claiming it's theirs.
Exmark, based in Beatrice, NE, is a division of The Toro Company. Exmark is operated as a separate business with our own leadership, research and development, manufacturing and distribution. We take great pride in our relationship with landscape pros and homeowners, and working closely with our customers to develop products that specifically meet their daily demands in the field. That’s why Exmark mowers are purchased 2-to-1 over the next best selling brand by landscape professionals.
Simple answer is yes same motor but was probably redesigned slightly for toro
Exmark Manufacturing Inc. so does this engine have any relation to the predator 708? Who designed this engine from scratch?
Daric Simons has
Ha,Ha. BS! What Joke! Two lines two colors two stickers same caca!. You must think that we are all sheeple... Just like snapper/simplicity Same sh-t different color. MTD same 'o,same o'. This industry is becoming a real joke...This is what happens when one company all most owns it all. A Monopoly. A former outdoor power equip tech of 15+ years.
nice engine
it's only as good as it's weakest link……….the nylon cam gear is pretty sad…..you learned from the auto industry to trim back mass on the pistons, great !……the auto industry stopped plastic cam gear production 20 years ago…...
pdoggy10inch I agree when I worked on my own cars/trucks I would change out nylon cam gear with metal.
That oil hose melts onto the plastic part sticking out from the top. Such a bad design.
I repeat, I will not by a engine made in China
Where do you think kawasaki is made...Utah? lol Been selling these for a while...have had little to no issues with this engine.
That’s a freaking Huge Chinese Nylon gear designed with a weight reduction software to make it as light and Shitty as possible thus saving material to make more cheap ass Under built gears with the remaining leftover production dust as the main ingredient... Run!!
This would be more believable if he wasn't reading from a q card.
Pretty sure thats a chinese motor
It is a predator engine. Not that I am saying those are bad engines but it is a $730 engine at harbor freight. No thanks.
I was looking at a radius s and they have these engines. I guess I will look at a scag.
Exmark has been using the 708cc V-Twin for several years. With our Exmark exclusive features, this engine has passed our commercial testing process. It meets our standards for quality control and is backed by Exmark Customer Service support and our leading product warranties.
Exmark Manufacturing Inc. I understand that it may be a great engine, I am just disappointed that a mower with this price point has an engine that I can buy for $730. My dealer told me that I cannot get a radius s series with any other option.
@@jeremyc3431 my radius x series has the fx730v Kawasaki engine its beast the top of the line radius has the Kawasaki engines are king!
Scag is a very good lawnmower.
Where is it made? I won't buy untill I know....
USA
No it's not.... I have since found out that the engine is made in CHINA!
China
As stated above, all indications is that this engine is identical to the Predator engine sold at Harbor Frieght and that means its a Lincon engine, which is Chinese. There were two 708 cc engines under the Toro nameplate designed specifically for the Timecutter mower line of mowers in 2015. One is rated at 22.5 hp; the other is rated at 24.5. Of course these are gross power numbers rated at 3600 RPM. Be advised, neither Toro or Exmark build engines. As far as I can find, these are built by Loncin in China. I'm not suggesting whether or not the quality is good or bad, but keep in mind, the Toro Timecutter is the lowest-end zero turn models, and a Toro zero turn with this upgraded, exact engine can be had for as little as $2,700 with a stamped, 42" deck. And the current price for an identical engine replacement at Harbor Freight is at or about $900. What I don't know is the physical differences between the 22.5 hp and the 24.5 hp version. In the Timecutter line, the models with the Myride suspension and seats with arm rests get the more powerful version for an extra $500 or so, and I believe some of the larger decks get the 24.5 hp, but they are both 708 cc.
@@gregoryfaulkner5345 thre has been near zero complaints of actual owners of this engine. Lincon has made engines for BMW bikes and other known brands. exmark and toro use this engine for years now. its atleast as good or better then a comparable Kohler. but a kaw isn't a honda motor either.
I heard that due to Trumps’s tariffs, the cost to import this engine is going up by 30%. Expect the cost to be past onto the customer.
Good, hopefully this will force corporations to build stuff in the US for now on.
that didn't happen.
Im glad I bought my radius with the Kawasaki i dont think I'd trust the exmark engine!
