On March 5, 2026, Kawasaki Engines unveiled GeoTorq at ConExpo Con/Agg in Las Vegas, a 2.4L turbocharged engine built for skid steers and mini excavators, not lawn mowers. The real flagship for mower decks is still the FX1000V EFI, a 999cc V-twin rated at 38.5 hp. How does it actually stack up against Kohler's Command PRO EFI and the Briggs Vanguard commercial line? Who really owns Kawasaki Engines, and how does that compare to the private equity ownership behind Briggs & Stratton and the newly renamed Rehlko? What do CPSC recall numbers 24-256 and 25-083 mean for the engine already sitting in your mower? This video covers the real spec sheet, the real ownership structure, the fire-hazard recalls worth checking today, and how 2025's tariffs are affecting engine and equipment prices across the industry.
