I was also looking at the Spartan 54". I could get it with 23hp Kawasaki or 25hp Briggs and Stratton. Anybody have a preference of the 2 engines?

Bought one of theses three years ago with the 26HP Kohler engine.(Briggs or Kawasaki also available but less HP), $2999.
Cut 4 acres, no issues what so ever.

Get a used commercial with low hours. Lots of times you can find good deals on them. Scag, Exmark, Toro, JD
