I'm far from making a decision here, but found a HF coupon on eBay where I could get the 22hp Predator for $529 rather than the listed $599, Limit 4. Coupon was $1.69 total and will be here by the 14th, and expires on the 17th. Figured it was good insurance. Was also looking at the B&S engines, which are made in USA. Only problem is, B&S left a sour taste in my mouth a few years back. One of their reps came by a local small engine shop where I had a mower in for service (didn't even realize it was still under warranty!), and the B&S rep took one look and said it was contaminated engine oil. Yeah, right! I had about 10 hours of use on that brand new mower, which had been using oil since the beginning. Was working it hard cutting some 5' and 6' tall grasses (VERY slowly!!) when it threw a rod. ...Contaminated oil? Sheesh, you'd think he coulda come up with something better than that. ...On the other hand, he didn't need to. B&S refused the warranty.
I've always liked B&S engines and I could actually buy a scratch-n-dent for less than the Predator, but I think I'm probably gonna go the Predator route this time and see what happens. ....Is about as much "on-the-edge" living as I can stand right now! :shock:
