    Why not put a pto driven wet line. Way less upkeep. Though Personal experience says it's hard to beat a Honda

    PTO??? sounds expensive. Tank on truck, Extra lines, messy. Not to mention having to integrate with a headache rack. Hmmm..

    The one day the pup motor doesn't fire up makes you appreciate a pto more I guess. I have had pup motor rgn and in middle of winter going down bush roads delivering feller bunchers. Getting to the patch open up the cover and the only thing you see is white were a motor should be. That's usually when you tell yourself that your gonna be here a little longer than expected

    We have had both but we had canvas bags made to put over the motors. You have to protect them from all the crap on the roads.

    Honda, I have had tough times with Kohler even though they were on mowers and not an RGN. It's hard to beat a Honda.
