Briggs & Stratton Introduces Enhanced and Expanded Line of Commercial Series V-Twin Engines

Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power introduces an upgraded and expanded line of Commercial Series V-Twin engines backed by a global 3-year commercial limited warranty. The light-duty commercial line now includes nine models, ranging from 16 to 27 hp (gross)*.

“This line of engines has always been a great value and a bridge for those wanting to step up to commercial engines. With the redesign, the line offers many premium features and components while maintaining a price point that makes it ideal for light-duty commercial applications,” said Jim Cross, marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power. “It’s a versatile workhorse and our confidence in the reliability of this engine is evident in the new 3-year commercial limited warranty.”

Briggs & Stratton’s patented Integrated Cyclonic System offers unmatched air handling to help the Commercial Series stand up to demanding, high-debris applications. A rotating debris-chopping screen cuts debris into smaller pieces while a robust fan forces the debris particles down and away from the engine. Further, a series of baffles and an ejector chute prevent dirt and large debris from reaching the air cleaner housing, which ejects dust and fine debris through a duckbill-shaped valve. The engine’s large cyclonic air cleaner filter lasts for 250 hours of operation and requires no tools to replace. An optional high-flow static cover further improves airflow in high-debris applications.

Enhanced features for structural integrity include a commercial-grade liquid sump gasket – the same gasket engineered for the Vanguard^™ 810 V-Twin – as well as a 3^rd dowel pin to ensure a rigid, lasting seal at the sump joint. For added versatility, a wide range of muffler options is also available for repowers. In addition to enhanced features, Briggs & Stratton expanded the horsepower range to include 16-, 18- and 20-hp (gross)* models with optional rewind start. This accommodates the growing commercial, wide-area walk-behind mower market.

The Commercial Series lineup now includes 9 models with displacements of 656 cm³, 724 cm³, or 810 cm³. The 656 cm³ and 724 cm³ engines are available for propane conversion through Propane Power Systems. Briggs & Stratton’s global 3-year commercial limited warranty continues to cover the non-propane components of these engines while Propane Power Systems’ warranty covers the fuel system.

To ensure productivity throughout the life of the engine, Briggs & Stratton’s robust service and support network provides the parts, training and technical support customers need.

*All power levels are stated as gross horsepower at 3,600 rpm per SAE J1940.
