I have the choice between a Kohler single cylinder engine vs a Briggs
and Stratton 2 cylinder Intek engine on a 46" tractor.  Which do you
think is better?

Thanks in advance.

I paid extra for a Kohler engine in my 42" Craftsamn mower. It has issues,
such as oil leaks and noisy hydraulic tappets.
Given a second chance I would go with a B&S engine.

Both are decent engines, however it being a garden tractor with a 46"
mower, personally I'd prefer a 2 cyl engine over a 1 cyl.

Yeah, the 2 cyl would give me 24 hp, vs 22 on the single cyl.
