Have not used the 3 Cyl diesel in the field yet, but I am very impressed with the engine fit and finish. It is quiet, starts instantly, looks great, and will out perform the vast majority of the competition. Will run for hundreds, of hours this summer on a wild land fire engine.

I have a ten year old truck loader with a 16 hp Vanguard engine. The machine sits outside most of the year and starts on by the third pull after sitting spring and summer. This past fall we had so much rain, water had ran down the carb. and filled the engine with water. I drained the oil and carb. then flush it with compressed air, filled with new oil and fuel. Ran perfect all season. Briggs and Stratton work harder, start easier, and have a better cleaner repair history than Honda and Kawasaki.

Pumping crude oil from 3000 ft in the ground takes an engine that can provide plenty of industrial power. Vertical lift can amount to 30,000 lbs. but is also counterbalanced by a pumping unit with balance weights and some of our own modifications. The engine weight is 102 lbs. The torque that the 16 hp Vanguard can provide is the best we've found. We try and match the amount of work needed at the well with an engine that has the capability of running 24 hrs a day. Our 16 hp Vanguard can do it.

My 35 year old John Deere 140 is like new again!

I could not decide if I should rebuild my tired old engine in my John Deere or "repower" with a brand new Vanguard. I made the right choice and installed the 18hp Vanguard several months ago and it's just like having a brand new garden tractor. I am so pleased with the performance, in heavy grass the engine does not back down at all..it has plenty of power to spare!
If you have a tired old garden tractor that needs a state of the art modern engine I will suggest the Vanguard is the best choice! I have a video of my installation on youtube so please take a look if you have the time.

This engine takes a beating and keeps on ticking. The reliable big block has gotten many clients to the blind & back on time, everytime!

Unbelievable, forever doubted Vanguard- biggest mistake. I have worked this Exmark hard and not one ounce of down time or for that matter not even a touch of oil leakage.

For example, increasing productivity, ease of service, saves time, etc. My 6hp Vanguard is fantastic! It never lets me down, working in all conditions out on the high seas as a winch. With over three …Read More →

SEPTEMBER WINNER
Sirs- I have a 1995 Max-2 6x6 AATV. I have really enjoyed using it in every application it has perfomed excellent in all types weather,terrain and held up very well over the years. You make a great engine. The engine that's in my 6x6 is a 14hp v-twin,ohv,4-stroke engine. It's a 1995 model. It has been well cared for and maintained. I installed one of your oil coolers when they first came out on the market. I figure this has helped as well as the 3 small cooling fans I installed in the aatv's body to draw the engine heat out of the inner body of the aatv to help in cooling of the motor. I use my 6x6 in search and rescue for missing children and adults. It has done very well in all kinds of conditions from searing heat in the upper 90s and 100s in the summer to bitterly cold, down below freezing in the winter. I have really enjoyed the great service I get from my local Briggs dealer in my area. They have always been very helpful with my maintenance needs of this fine, tough, little engine. Thanks Sincerly Rick Pasour

Vanguard engines are all about uptime...about making more money...that's number one with me.

A Vanguard engine delivers the power to push 72-inch decks at the speeds we need to go.

Vanguard engines stand up, and the company that builds them stands behind me. Thats why I make money.

An engine company firing on all cylinders means business. If yours isn't, it's time to shift gears.

I have never in my life had an engine stand-up the way this Vanguard has.

With the Vanguard engine, it's about productivity, we're done fast and on to the next job, what a MONEYMAKER.

The non-stop reliability of the Vanguard engine has worked to cut our mowing time by atleast 60%.

I've used a lot of equipment over the years. Every manufacturer seems to toy with different engine brands. I don't know why they have to complicate things! Vanguard engines are the best...they always …Read More →

I've used a lot of equipment over the years. Every manufacturer seems to toy with different engine brands. I don't know why they have to complicate things! Vanguard engines are the best...they always seem to have more power than expected, and they never go down.

I was very happy to get my B&S powered generator, as we had a very bad ice storm blow through here the later part of last month. I’m on oxygen 24/7 and needed power to run my oxygen pump as I was down to one bottle. My friends with 4-wheel drive and chain saws cut through the downed trees and power lines to get me a generator at Lowe’s that they had set aside for me. Without oxygen I have less than 3 hours of life left. This unit worked perfect. THANK YOU VERY MUCH BRIGGS & STRATTON, YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
