Hi all
I have tow behind flail mower with this engine:
15 hp 420cc JiangDong electric start
Engine has been rather reliable so far.
Problem is, it is also quite underpowered for the job. I was mowing yesterday not even that tall of grass, a bit wet, and it clearly strains.
Engine has centrifugal clutch on the shaft and runs 3 belts down to flail.
Far I know, it's Honda knockoff.
Engine has electric start and charger, what comes handy. But, starts from pull every time, if battery dies.
My question is - is there engine that I can directly replace it with, that will have more power?
This mower is, pretty much, my last hope as, I have to mow through partial wet land and none of mowers I had before will go there. And, if I let it be till it all dries out, I have to deal with 3 ft tall grass. I tow this flail behind with UTV, so we can go through wet areas but, here;s question of power demand.
I really don't want to major rebuild, to get larger engine. If possible, one that will directly retrofit, so that I can re use clutch.
Thank you.
