I asked the local DIY guys, who rent the kohler powered terramites, if they would use a different engine, like a honda. Their reply was that it's very difficult getting everything lined up, we stay with Kohler.
I asked them how many hours can I expect to get from my 20 hp kohler command on a terramite. They said typically they can get between 1500 to 3000 hours. Keep in mind, people renting don't really care how they abuse things. It's cheaper and faster for them to get a short block form the local small engine place in town.
I've researched small engine warehouse. My engine, complete is around $1500 plus about $100 shipping.
There may be better engines than a Kohler, but to the diy guys in town stick with Kohler.
My oldest lawn mower is a single cylinder 15.5 hp kohler. I'm guessing the mower is about 30 years old.

I have tractor bar tires on it. Works great for pulling 2 36 inch disks that I made look like a real disk with front and back gangs.
