I'm considering the above two lawn tractors for a semi-flat yard less than
1/2 acre.

I know what enhancements the JD L118 has over the L110: seat, rear tires, V-
twin engine for $200 more.

However, it's the engine upgrade I wonder about. What are the opinions of
the single cyl Kohler vs the larger Briggs V-Twin? Ignoring the seat and
tires, is the engine upgrade worth it or would you stay with the Kohler?

I'm guessing it will start a "war" to ask for other recommendations to these
two in a similar price range. I might be interested in a ZTR, but I assume
they are out of the price range.

Thanks.
