Default Lawn mower and diesel?

a lawn mower let's talk about that


The question is why? Most small diesel engines are horizontal so that
rules out many of the rotary designs that use vertical shafts. Also,
they are commonly 6 to 9 hp and up which might work for a lawn tractor
setup. Pull start might be awkward in that application and the electric
start models are more expensive.
