Anyone using Predator motors from Harbor Freight? I am using a 6.6 hp Predator on my home made log splitter and am very happy with it. It started first pull out of the box. I have a 1979 Troy Bilt 8 hp Horse model roto tiller (original owner) that needs a motor replacement.( 8 hp Brigs and Stratton). Would like to use a Predator 8 hp model. Any thoughts? Thanks.

No experience with them myself, but quite a few folks here on OTT have used them for various replacements.

Put it in. If you don't care about patents and copyright.

Chinese make decent copies of Briggs, Honda, and Kohler.
