New Kohler Engines

Command Pro 34, 36 and 38 hp engines

This summer, Kohler is launching 6 new Command Pro engines to meet commercial turf, industrial and generator customer's needs for higher horsepower and maintain their leadership position in these market segments.

The engines are rated at 34 hp, 36 hp and 38 hp in both vertical and horizontal configurations. They feature a huge 999cc displacement, air-cooling, overhead valves, and heavy duty air and oil filters. The vertical shaft models will be offered on premium commercial riding equipment. The horizontal shaft models will power premium commercial turf equipment, industrial equipment and generators.

1. Increased performance by Design

• Optimized combustion with GT Power models and CAM programs
• Rigid governor providing rapid response
• Hydraulic valve lifters with vented lube circuit
2. Ease of Service

• Top access oil filter
• Large diameter oil drains
• Yellow service points
• Removable blower housing access covers
• Cooling fin access for cleaning
• Ignition module access
3. Self Draining Oil Filter Design

Step 1 During initial turns of the filter, the cup springs upward opening the drain valve and draining oil out of the filter housing and into the crankcase. All oil is drained from the filter housing before the seal is broken between the filter and the housing.

Step 2 As the filter is turned further and the seal is broken, oil within the filter now drains into the housing and out the drain valve to the crankcase. All oil is now drained from the filter as well as the housing resulting in less spillage and a cleaner servicing of the engine.

4. Lower Operator Fatigue due to decreased noise & vibration

• Nylon cam gear
• Balanced design of rotating components
• Hydraulic valve lifters (zero lash)
• Vented lube circuit
• Fan blade spacing to minimize noise
5. Lower Operating cost
Fuel savings - Better fuel economy
• Use of analytical tools to design for turbulent combustion - rapid, efficient burn
• improved air cooling of cylinder head allows the engine to run leaner (eliminate need for fuel cooling)
6. All engine models will beet CARB Tier III and EPA Phase II regulations
