I see many different engine sizes. How do I know what size engine I need?

Engine size (cc) typically correlates with the mower's power, but most of today's engines have the power you will need! Generally, smaller yards can get away with smaller engines, while larger or hillier properties may need more cc for optimum performance, though not always necessary.

I'm seeing a variety of cutting widths. Are there any other benefits to consider besides yard size?

Beyond yard size, wider cutting decks like those <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/21-inches/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z0kpa5?emt=plpfaq_2502_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">21 inches</a> and up can often handle thicker grass more efficiently. However, a smaller <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/17-inches/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z0kp94?emt=plpfaq_2502_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">17</a>-<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/20-inches/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z0kpa6?emt=plpfaq_2502_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">20-inch</a> deck might be lighter and easier to store if storage space is limited, so consider your needs when choosing.

What are the key differences between Briggs and Stratton and Kohler engines, and which is right for my yard?

Both <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/Briggs-and-Stratton-Engine/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z1s3vq?emt=plpfaq_2502_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">Briggs and Stratton</a> engines and <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/Kohler-Engine/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z1s3xs?emt=plpfaq_2502_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">Kohler</a> engines are known for their reliability and power, but Kohler often features smoother operation and sometimes longer warranties. Kohler might be a great fit for a larger or tougher yard with thicker grass. For a more budget-friendly and popular option, check out Briggs & Stratton.
