No.

I have the 23 kawi on my 52" HP. The only other motor that would do well in all conditions is the 23kohler.

reason i was asking is i've had a dealer offer me a 2003 20hp koh lazer z for $6600. and he says the mower would perform very well.thanks for any info you can give

Since you will be cutting warm season grasses will you be side discharging or mulching? If mulching, not a chance. If side discharging, maybe, but I don't think you will be happy.

My opinion anyway.

yes i'll be side discharging only the engine on the lazer z is a horizontal shaft the dealer says this is a better engine than the 20hp on the lazer z hp he says it produces more torque

I dont know if i buy the torque crap. I do know you will find your self cutting slow and twice. This is the biggest mistake i often make is trying to get a price break on a smaller motor. Its not worth it. I have 2 mowers right now that i dread running for this exact reason and both times i fell for the torque crap. tell him if you could get the 23 hp lazer for the same price youll take it home today. see how much he comes down on that one. tell him otherwise you will just look elsewhere.
