For mowing regularly on a steep grade, will a 2-cycle lawnmower outlast a 4-cycle engined one?

Four cycle lawnmower engines have a pint of oil or so that sits below the crank shaft inside the engine.  The crankshaft has a small piece of metal on it so as it turns in a circle it dips into the oil reservoir and splashes the oil around inside the crank case.  This is how the engine lubricates its self.  On the hill section you refer to I am guessing that the motor runs for some time with no oil being splashed around, and it gets really hot especially the valves. My guess is that either the crank seizes or one of the valves and when a valve seizes bad thing can happen.\n\nTwo strokes are mostly impervious to position or tilt of the engine. Two stroke engines have no oil reservoir, instead the oil is mixed into the gas and on its way to the combustion chamber the oil gas mixture lubricates the engine.  I addition there is only one valve (No exhaust valve) called a reed valve, which is similar in operation to a toilet tank valve.  two strokes are light and agile and are used in chainsaws, dirt bikes, leaf blowers, weed whackers, demolition saws.  Basically any where light and flexible is needed.   Unfortunately they are loud, give off more gas emissions, and are smelly. \nTwo stroke is for you,

it depends on what it powers and the efficency of the motor.

Acceleration is based on weight transferance and the 4 cylinder will be lighter, but once going the v12 will beat the 4 cyl due to the fact that you have more cylinders doing more work. 4 cyl must create power in only 4 areas 12 cylinders has more over all power due to more cylinders

depends on the horsepower

3 wheelers were banned in our area a while back, and I believe it was because of stability issues.  Sharp turns on a 3 wheeler are very dangerous because the forward momentum is not cancelled.  Riders are prone to 'shoulder rolls' as the bike turns in one direction but the rider is still moving forward.  4 wheelers can still roll over, but the front wheels provide a lot more stability during sharp turns.

Minn Kota has got to be the best as far as for pound for pound, I know the older moto guides are a pain to operate, the newer ones look about the same with a little power button on the right hand side of the foot pedal, the minn kota has about and inch and a half round nob to step on and is really dependable, most guys that have motor guides carry a spare with them. I have an 18 foot ranger and a maxx74 on it and don't have any problems with the wind, I did put a 40 all-terrain on it for a bit due to the fact the old trolling motor that came on it finally went bad, that was an old johnson/evinrude. As soon as I got the money for the maxx74 I purchased one and absoultely love it, no more getting blown down a lake. some times you can find a deal on ebay on them or bass pro, cabella's has a bargin cave and you may get a great deal their online also. Minn kota makes saltwater motors also. good luck

The first question might be right but they could use different lawn mowers that cut it in different lengths. They are designed and the mowers mow it to the specifications.\n\nJust another alternative answer.\n\nI have just done more research into this and found that the mowers aren't the one that cut the grass differently no matter which way u cut it. They have rollers that come onto the pitch that flatten the grass into a different direction giving you the effect of different shading.

I have put a T3/T4 Hybrid on a 99 GS and to be honest, it's not smart to do unless your doing your fuel system and pistons. You would get 6psi max without blowing anything up so you would be basically be doing it for the sound of the air being vented to the atomsphere. If your gonna go turbo, your better off gettin a turbo motor (4G63T) and building from there. Good Luck Bro

It is impossible to tell from the information given.  YOu need to know the power factor and efficiency too.  \n\nAt full load of a motor that big it is likely to be 95% efficiency and have power factor of probably 0.8.  \n\nIF (!!) that is true, then the current is (75 hp * 746 W/hp)/(480  V *sqrt(3))/0.95/0.8 Amps (rms)\n\nNotice I've considered a wye-connected motor too - that's where the sqrt(3) comes from.  I also get 90 A (like the previous guy)!

it is a type of Machinery.

The main advantage is that the compact crankset gearing is much closer to the high cadence riding that is the current trend in modern cycling.  With a standard triple crank you have 30/42/52 chainrings, from which most people use the 42 and 30 rings.  The 30 is a little too short for most hilly rides, and basically you're spinning super fast to get up a hill.  The 42 is   a bit too small for barrelling down a hill, and the 52 is so steep that it's rarely being used.\n\nThe compact crankset has 50 and 34 tooth gears which are theoretically better for the way most cyclists ride today.  The 34 gives you short enough gearing to get up big hills but is not quite as short as the granny gear on the triple, and the 50 gives you the speed in a manageable dose.\n\nA couple things to consider, though.  In order to switch to a double compact, you need to replace a fair number of components, including the bottom bracket, cranks, rear derailleur (optional but highly recommended), front derailleur and possibly your left shifter.  You might be able to get what you want from switching out the cassette on your bike, which is of course a lot cheaper.

i would assume it depends on what you are plowing

I dont own one but this dude in my town does. 94 supra single turbine. i dont know how much he is boosting but rumors got to me at 900hp maximum. thats all i got to say.

I can see replacing your 3 & 4 irons but not the five. The hybrids are mnore forgiving.  However, a standard five iron is an extremely accurate club and given the pitch you shouldn't have a problem such a club.

I thought it was 4 to 1, but better check your manual ,or the website, they would have more specific info.  Also, the fuel to oil ratio could be pretty generic for that type of engine, so even if you lost your maunual, find the stats for a similar engine and you should be safe.\n\nEdit: lol, better listen to the below poster, 4:1 and 50:1 is a pretty big difference, and I don't want you to send me your repair bill ; )

Not going to be to great, around 200-225 HP. But it will have good torque.

Go tall it not only gives you more low end torque but adds horses in the entire power band. Not to mention if you get one thats ported it helps atomize the air/fuel mixture giving you better efficiency and power.
