The newest additions to Honda''s GC engines series are the 6-hp., horizontal-shaft GC190 (pictured) and 6.5-hp., vertical-shaft GCV190 models. These higher hp. engines are designed specifically for premium, high-volume, residential power equipment and are now available through Honda Engine distributors nationwide. Both shaft configurations also are supplied to other power equipment manufacturers on an original equipment basis. As with other overhead cam (OHC) engines in the GC series, a combination of the world''s first internal timing belt and uniblock construction creates a lighter and more compact package than any other model in the class, delivering an unparalleled power-to-weight ratio. Simple construction also minimizes the number of moving parts, making the engines reliable and easy to operate. The internal components have been strengthened through the use of a stronger piston pin, larger connecting rod, larger rod journal and redesigned oil control ring. The GC190 and GCV190 engines meet or exceed all 2006 CARB and EPA emission requirements. After successfully launching its vertical-shaft, liquid-cooled Aegis engines at EXPO 99, Kohler introduced horizontal-shaft counterparts at EXPO 2000. Kobler will produce hydraulicpowerunits 3 models rated at 17-, 20-, and 23-hp. with full production on the 23-hp. model starting in spring 2001. With the addition of Kohler Aegis in both vertical- and horizontal-shaft configurations, Kohler can now provide OEMs and end users with a full range of 4-stroke, twin-cylinder engines from 17 to 26 hp. Honda Engines has added two new higher horsepower models to its GC series of four-stroke gasoline engines. The 6 hp GC19O and the vertical shaft 6.5 hp GC Vi 90 engines are designed specifically for premium residential power equipment applications. The two new engines join Honda Engine''s 4 hp GC135/GCV135 and the 5 hp GC160/GCV160 engines in the product range.

"These three new models feature the advanced technology to attain unsurpassed all-purpose farming productivity in today''s increasingly competitive agricultural markets," says Don Worner, division marketing manager, John Deere Wasterloo Works.There are several transmission options available on the new 7020 tractors, and all transmissions feature a left-hand reverser control for maximum productivity."All tractors can be ordered with the deluxe Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). It is an option on the 7720 and 7820 tractors, and is standard on the 7920 tractor. IVT set new standards of productivity on the 7010 Series tractors and it will now be available on all 7020 Series tractors," Worner says.
