Briggs Courage? You mean Kohler Courage. The single cylinder Courage has had problems, the twin Courage is as good as any of them out there. You will have problems with any engine if you don't properly maintain it.
To the OP: I've had decent luck with the MTD built and big box store riders and have had B&S and Kohler engines. I mow about 1 1/2 acres.

Still using it after 13 yrs. and now along with a Husqvarna (not an MTD brand) 54" with a twin Kohler Courage with 550 hrs. on it, for the last couple of years. Maintain them and don't beat them up and they will give good service. And it won't cost you thousands of dollars to get into one.
