So the pressure washer also has a pump ($35), valves/switches/buttons ($15), frame/wheels/assembly ($30), nozzles/hose/spray gun ($15), paint and other incidentals ($10), a 25% markup to account for sales, marketing, R&D, employee salaries and finally a 25% markup to allow the company to make some profit. They have a pressure washer that sells for $300 so this estimates the engine in that unit cost them $75 to make on the assembly line (not including labor). What the number is saying is that for every sale of a Briggs pressure washer 25% of the cost is the engine.

To pull out the sales number for small engines from their brand power equipment sales I used a factor of 25%. The B&S Annual Report tells us exactly how much they made selling engines to other companies and how much they made selling their own brand power equipment. How The Numbers Were Adjusted Briggs and Stratton Here is a revised graph that is a much better comparison of the number of small engines made by each company. Their power products sales are for their generators, pressure washers and water pumps – which include a Generac small engine. So when it comes to Honda finding the engine sales requires some approximation. That Honda power equipment has the Honda small engines AND everything else that makes it work. …For example, Honda numbers include their mowers, generators and pressure washer sales. The Power Products Sales graph tells us sales of respective Power Products divisions, which includes (in most cases) both engine sales and branded power equipment sales… And Kohler is somewhere in the middle – less than Honda and Briggs but more than Generac, Kawasaki and Subaru. Generac only uses their engines in their power equipment – best pressure washers, generators and water pumps – so in terms of small engines produced they are more equal with Kawasaki and Subaru. Taking all this into account when trying to find the exact sales number for just small engines we can make an educated guess that Honda and Briggs & Stratton stand alone at the top at around $1.4 billion in small engine sales. A guess would be that 50% of the $875 million sales is from engines not considered small engines. Also, Kohler’s engine division makes engines ranging from 4 – 134 hp. The Kohler numbers are an estimate based on provided numbers. The Forbes estimated total revenue for 2014 ($5 billion) was used and then 17.5% (halfway between 15 and 20%) was taken to arrive at $875 million.The engine division accounted for 15 – 20% of revenue throughout the 1990s ($2.4 billion in 1998), and From a JUS Tax Court Filing that released data on the percent revenue coming from Kohler’s engine division.The number in the graph for Kohler was sourced from 2 places: Numbers are estimated because it is a private company and doesn’t release financial statements. Numbers include only their small general purpose engine sales. A further breakdown between engines and pumps could not be sourced. Numbers include their general purpose engine sales as well as their pumps sales – this is their Industrial Products Company numbers.
ARE DUCAR ENGINES GOOD GENERATOR
It does not include their commercial and industrial generator sales. Numbers include only their residential power product sales (they make their own engines). Numbers include their general purpose engine sales and their own brand power equipment sales.

The numbers in the graph were sourced from their SEC Filings, Annual Reports and other Investor Relations data. Honda, Briggs and Stratton, Generac, Subaru and Kawasaki are all public stock companies that release financial data. Explanation of Power Products Sales Graph For each you will learn the division’s sales numbers, which brands use the engine, which power equipment uses the engine and the sources of information. Here’s an in-depth analysis of each companies power equipment small engine divisions. Well, the fact is true – the overwhelming majority of power equipment companies choose to outsource the engine expertise to: Briggs and Stratton, Honda, Kohler, Kawasaki, Generac or Subaru (and let them deal with EPA and CARB emission standards). What if I told you that every-single-one of the 25 bestselling gas pressure washers has an engine made by either Honda, Briggs and Stratton, Kohler or Generac? Would you be surprised if I told you 94% of residential power equipment is powered by an engine from 1 of 6 companies? Estimations are clearly stated and explained. All data on this page is sourced from respective company Annual Reports, SEC Filings, Official Press Releases, US Tax Court Filings and Company Data-files.
