Why not Little Wonder?
Looks awesome but at the note of 28,000 bones I’m gonna have to pass for right now. I’ve never really been a fan of Briggs and straten motors either.
I’m a small landscaping company with 7 employees and 99% of our work is residential. I already have a 450 dump truck that I could frame up a chip box on. So 3500.00 for a billy goat sounds more realistic than the wonder unit. Interesting you like the Subaru of the Honda motors. My parents had a power washer with a Subaru motor and it was a piece of junk.
Given the choice i would go honda every time. But i do have a lawn tractor with a brigs vanguard engine in it and seems pretty good so far
I agree with you 100%. The Honda gx models are indestructible. Like you my Ferris mower has a Briggs Vanguard twin on it. Other than a warrentied starter it’s been a good motor.
You misread me. I don't prefer Subaru over Honda, in fact I really don't have a strong preference, either way. I've owned a few of each, and have had zero issues with either. I was just pointing out that, in the particular case of the Little Wonder walk-behinds, the Subaru-powered versions were less costly for more performance on a model-for-model basis.
Not sure. It was a pos from the beginning. I would be willing it check out Subaru motors again though. I can’t shun the company over one bad experience. It’s just hard to stray from the trusty Honda engines.
Different animal. We're talking about Robin motors, here. Not the inline 4's they put in cars.
My mother owned two Saab 900’s and one Saab 9000 (or whatever they changed those models to in later years). Those cars had absolutely no redeeming qualities:
Many cars went back to just pleated filters with a reusable canister. My wifes previous 2 cars a mazda 6 and a jetta both had them. Didnt make much difference to me. But the filter should be cheaper because it is just the filter with no case. But it isnt. And most oil plug gaskets are supposed to be replaced every time just no one does.
It was not just a subaru engine the whole car was a subaru impreza. Some of them were wrx also. You can actually pick one of them up cheaper than a wrx. But you have the same issues that all subarus have. I just cant beleive they have not addressed the head gasket issue yet. Any other company with a serious flaw like that would get all kinds of crap for it. But subaru fans dont care.
Wow... that’s like saying you like Jello brand instant pudding, but not Creme Brûlée. I live with cloth seats in my pickup truck, but only because it’s a truck, I’d never buy a car with anything but leather. Heck, I usually pay for the upgraded better grade leather (eg. Laguna leather vs. Nappa or Alcantara). The Volvo leather is not as soft as what’s in my other cars, but it is durable.
