Review: Good value for the money - I used this engine on a Ryan sod cutter replacing a Briggs 8hp. I had to use a longer belt and buy a crank pulley but it works and runs good.
Review: Don't hesitate to buy this motor...it is excellent! - I use this motor to replace a B&S motor on my log splitter. WOW! What a difference it makes. It cranks on the first pull every time and the markings on which way the levers go are very easy to see, unlike the B&S motor. This motor makes my log splitter run like new. I tried to purchase this motor from Harbor Freight but they would not ship it to Alaska and would not ship it to the barge. It's not my fault that they don't recognize Alaska as part of the United States. Trusty ole desertcart sent it to the barge company and it arrived on time. If I ever need another motor for anything else, I will certainly look for the predator line as my goto motor.
