How does a command stack up against the of k series? Does it
have any weak links? Just looking for opinions or experience.
 
Apples and oranges,both good.Ks are cheaper to overhaul using aftermarket parts and good lowend torque....$.02
 
The Kohler Command engines have been around a long time. At least 20 years. I think of them as one of the toughest air cooled engines you can get for power equipment these days. I have seen several with well over 2000 hours on them and still going.

Like all engines, they do require regular maintenance. Most valve trouble I have seen is due to either debris packed in the fins or escessively lean fuel mixture.

You can't get the smaller single cylinder Command engines any more. I think 18 hp. is about the smallest offered.
 
I have both Command on sawmill & K in Gravely, No problem with either. On the Command series I've noted that from Approx 13hp to 18 hp they all have same bore & stroke,no one has been able to advise what parts are different to change HP. (I have 13HP on sawmill & would like more HP) When I checked cams,carbs, head gaskets all were same part number.
