I was wondering is there a difference bewteen the kohler 23hp and the kohler25 hp as for power would it be worth up grading to a 25 in my max 4 I also see they sell in northern hydraulics a 27hp motor too.

Hi junk. I know this is a bit late in coming but I have been away for a while. I don’t think it is worth the swap at all. I had a max4 with an 18 Briggs and my new one has the 25 hp Kohler and I can’t tell the difference at all. Save the $$
Oh ya the biggest difference I can see so far is the Kohler is a lot Quieter

I ended up buying different sprockets for the t-20 to drop down from a 15 tooth to a 13 tooth like mightymax did hows yours for power rdr I think the 23hp is not enough for the max 4 with 26" tires

[ QOUTE ] does your belt squeel at times when taking off ?
junkman ,
I ride with boncrshr who has a Hustler 950 with a 20 hp Honda motor in it . He has also done the red spring clutch modification too . He also went to a 40 tooth sprocket which helped a lot . In situations though , when his Honda motor is put under a lot of strain , his belt will squeel some times too .
He was told that a Clutch off of a Max IV would cure this problem. ? Any one know about this ?

I have never heard of this but I do know you can change your springs in the clutch to make rpm engagement a little higher when taking off.
na i use napa belt dressing but be carful a verry little goes a long way: robbie
