Outdoor Power

Outdoor power equipment is one of those categories we habitually return to because the cutting-edge products tend to look vastly different on a year-by-year basis.

Briggs & Stratton recently released its Just Check & Add oil change technology. Now, it's expanding the feature to more walk mowers across more brands, including its popular 625ex Series engine.

Briggs & Stratton has a number of reasons to celebrate the number 85: its Kentucky plant in Murray, Kentucky, began making Briggs & Stratton engines in 1985. Additionally, the company makes 85% of its small engines in the U.S. And now, the Murray plant is celebrating its 85th million small engine.

Briggs & Stratton has introduced electronic fuel injection (EFI) to its Simplicity brand Prestige garden tractor.

Briggs & Stratton has come up with a new-and-improved engine technology -- this time not only with a Mow N' Stow engine, but with new Just Check & Add technology. Mow N' Stow allows the mower to be stored upright, taking up less space in the garage (70% reduced storage, to be exact).
