We know how much our landscaping community depends on their equipment.
Your equipment is your livelihood – and you should be able to turn up every day and work without worrying about sudden breakdowns. Because ultimately, downtime means lost income, and being unreliable hurts a reputation you’ve worked hard to build.
We have always made reliability our number one priority for this reason. Kawasaki engines are trusted by professionals – this is how we’ve earned it.
In our 2025 landscaping report, we found that professional landscapers associate Kawasaki Engines with reliability above all else.
There’s no shortcut to building such a reputation – we've earned the respect of professionals through decades of producing engines that perform whenever called upon. Here’s how we make engines that you can trust your business with.
Quality is more than a principle at Kawasaki Engines – it’s a philosophy.
Everything we do has to meet the high standards we set ourselves; for us, there’s no compromising on this. It only takes one sub-par part or missed process to damage the output of the whole engine; we know that trust takes years to build, but can be undone in seconds.
To maintain a reputation for reliability as long as we have, you need to make quality a priority – in every part and process, from initial design to production line.
As Roly Baker, our head of parts and aftersales, puts it, “We won’t cut corners. If a part is changed, it’s due to quality improvements or compliance requirements – never to reduce cost. We won’t compete with low-cost imports, or ‘engineer down’. Quality is non-negotiable for us.”
If you choose a Kawasaki engine, it’s because you want the best. Durable, long-lasting materials, innovative design, and meticulous attention to detail – we manufacture engines based on performance, not price.
Years spent fine-tuning designs and pushing the boundaries of technology culminate in our modern-day engines.
Since Shozo Kawasaki first established the business in 1878, Kawasaki has been a brand known for excellence and innovation, an ethos shared across all the divisions.
Our engineering heritage here at Kawasaki Engines spans over 65 years. We’ve spent that time developing dependable power for landscaping equipment, continually refining and improving our 2 and 4-stroke engineering.
Our engine designs feature clear hallmarks of those developments. From advanced filtration systems stopping contaminants entering the engine with unmatched efficiency, to high-performance lubrication systems that protect components and ensure long-lasting durability, our constant push for engineering excellence makes for exceptionally reliable power.
We don’t need to tell professionals our engines are reliable – they’ve seen it. We often hear stories of Kawasaki engines that are still in operation decades after they were manufactured.
While we can talk about materials, testing, and the thinking behind our engines to explain why they’re reliable, there’s nothing quite like seeing proof. And Kawasaki engines have proven reliable performance time and time again.
A great design is only as good as the quality of its manufacture. Precision manufacturing is a critical part of creating a reliable engine, and we give it the focused attention it deserves.
Our V-twin production facilities are located in the US, where we have access to the latest technology and equipment, and a dedicated, highly skilled workforce. With over 30 years’ experience, our Maryville production facility knows how to make a quality engine – but it’s our strict processes that have kept the standards so consistently high.
Working in tandem, our quality assessors and research and development departments constantly work to improve the performance of our engines, making sure they can meet the demands of moving from a blueprint to a mass production setting.
This is where reliability starts – with a tight-knit workforce that cares deeply about doing their job well. Consistency, precision and simply ‘getting it right’ are a matter of obsession, and professional landscapers reap the benefits.
Nothing is left to chance. We test our engines thoroughly to ensure they meet our high standards of reliability.
And that’s only the first part of the process – to make sure your Kawasaki powered equipment can handle intensive professional workloads, we collaborate closely with our OEM partners to achieve a perfect fit for their product.
We work hard to go above and beyond to deliver lasting reliability.
When you’re working hard, you need to know your equipment can keep up. Make potential breakdowns a thing of the past with an engine famous for reliability.
Powered by Kawasaki equipment pairs our reliable engines with professional machinery from leading OEMs in the turf and grounds care sectors, a combination that thousands of landscapers across Europe rely on every day.
Kawasaki Engines’ consistent quality isn’t the product of chance. It’s the result of adhering to strict processes and extremely careful attention to detail.
In the demanding world of professional landscaping, the reliability and longevity of your equipment are paramount. Extra repair costs, unnecessary downtime and, ultimately, a hit to your bottom line can all result from purchasing machinery that's not fit for professional-level work.
We spoke to Roly Baker, head of parts and aftersales at Kawasaki Engines, to discuss how we’ve proven the performance of our engines over decades. Read more.
