Command Pro EFI takes deep breath

© Kohler EnginesThe PCV860 is ECV860's LPG-powered counterpart. Note the LPG reducer on the side

The engine isn't exactly suitable for hand-pushed mowers as it displaces 824 cm³ and, depending on variant (PCV850 or PCV860), generates 27 or 29 horsepower respectively, all the while running on LPG. We're just not sure if we should call this fuel autogas anymore – maybe we should switch to mowergas in this particular case? Anyway, the power figures are comparable to those offered by petrol-powered versions of the unit (ECV850 and ECV860), which is thanks to Kohler Engines' tuned air intake system.

It enhances the airflow to boost power and torque and, together with a closed-loop electronic fuel injection makes the Command Pro EFI a very capable, yet economical and environment-friendly engine. On top of that, the engine comes LPG-powered straight from the factory, requiring no aftermarket LPG kits or conversion. The new unit will debut on a number of commercial lawn mowers throughout the 2015 season, so get ready for action!
