Powerful new engine for commercial walk-behind mowers added to Kohler Command PRO Series

Kohler expanded its Command PRO commercial lineup with a rugged new vertical-shaft engine in three displacements – 173cc, 200cc, and 224cc. The new Kohler Command PRO engines (CV173, CV200 and CV224) for commercial walk-behind mowers bring a range of benefits to green-industry pros, including best-in-class torque on the 224cc model. The engines also integrate the company’s exclusive Consistent-Cut technology, which helps to maintain high engine speed in difficult mowing conditions to make quick work of tall, wet grass.

“As part of our ongoing dialog with commercial cutters, we identified the need for a new engine platform for walk-behind applications that reflects what professional users said they wanted – performance, durability and enhanced productivity,” said Brett Wegner, product manager for Kohler engines. “Our newest Command PRO vertical-shaft engines deliver a great mowing experience and a clean and consistent turf cut. Plus, they were purposely engineered to stand up to the rigors of everyday commercial use.”

Durability features integrated into the new Kohler Command PRO engines for commercial walk-behind mowers include cast-iron cylinder bores, which ensure peak performance for the life of the engine; dual lubrication, which optimizes performance in all mowing conditions and helps to extend maintenance intervals; and heavy-duty Quad Clean cyclonic air filtration, which protects the engine from contaminants and includes a fully-sealed latching system for additional effectiveness. The engine’s blower housing and recoil are also constructed of steel for long-lasting performance and dependability in the field.

While offering numerous performance benefits to commercial cutters, the new Command PRO walk-behind engine platform also brings an exciting new option to equipment manufacturers and dealers, who are always seeking ways to help end users increase their productivity. The new Kohler walk-behind mower engines are designed to accommodate for the larger mowing decks and faster ground speeds, which have been trending in the industry for both ride and walk-behind applications.

All three models within the durable new walk-behind mower lineup are backed by Kohler’s three-year commercial warranty and feature easily accessible maintenance points for simplified service and repairs.
