    If you had actually posted a poll, my answer would be:

    I like the sophisticated design of the B&S 5 HP. I wouldn't want you to get in over your head Lance. Or scare your Bunny when you go to fast.:tiphat:

    I voted for the Tecumseh, simply because the poor fellow was being left out. :(

    Nah...they're getting a 145 Billion dollar bailout. That'll keep em going thru summer time till they can sell some mowers or weedeaters, or whatever the hell they make. :cool:

    With the 15hp tecumseh you ought to at least be able to get her wound up to red line and be able to screech the tires.
