The ability to run diesel is nice.. I am sure the JM would drink ok it but they don't recommend it so whatever that is worth.. I like to be able to dump my fuel in the tractor if gets too old...
This info is incorrect. Kingtech has a new K140 out that is smaller and lighter then the old one.
JM140 is 3.2 lbs installed Dreamworks price $2995.00
K140 is 3.5lbs installed Kingtech USA $2290.00
So the difference is 0.3 pounds.
They are both fine engines. I like the fact at most of the bigger events in the US Kingtech attends and has spares if needed encase of problems. nothing worse then spending a ton of money to go to an event and have a problem. Also Dirk or Barry will usually pic up service calls even on the weekend.
