Has anyone used a Kohler engine on a wood splitter or any other type of power equipment? I would be interested to hear the pros and cons as I am planning to use one for my splitter build.
Thanks
Quite durable, I've done a couple rebuilds on the K301 series 12hp. They're good engines, kinda costly to rebuild. It's real easy to have $400 in a rebuild and thats with me doing all the labor. Keep your oil clean and fresh so the alum rod and the crank wear is kept to a minimum.
I do have a riding mower (2000 year model) with a 25hp Kohler Twin and it has Never let me down, It sounds just like a Harley when it Idles....
I am trying to decide what pump to run. It has a 6" cylinder. I am currently running it off a 3010 JD tractor.
Get the 28 GPM pump. You're in the ball park engine wise and with that size cylinder the 28 GPM would be a better match as far as travel speed goes.
I run a 22GPM on a 5'' cylinder 24'' stroke. It's 5 seconds out and 5 seconds back in. I wish now i had bought the 28 GPM.
Thats what I was leaning toward. Just need to find a valve that will handle that flow that still has the detent.
