I wonder what the torque rating of that engine is as compared to the Koher twins.

They were trying to test the waters and compete with Deere. In the early 90's Deere had a liquid cooled 3 cyl Yanmar in their 300 series (322) garden tractors and liquid cooled Kawasaki V-Twins in their 400 series Super Garden Tractors (425 and 445). So Cub Cadet came out with the 2182 with a 21 HP 3 cyl liquid cooled Kubota engine in 1990, and the 2086 with the 20 HP liquid cooled Kawasaki V-twin. I'd much rather have a Cyclops with those motors than a Command IMO.
