Lifan vs. Predator

I was looking at the HF Predator 13hp engine and I found that Home Depot had the Lifan for a cheaper price and what seems like a better warranty. The Lifan not only has the manual and electric start, but also the 3 amp charging system, whereas the Predator doesn't.

Anyone try one of the 13 hp Lifans and any feedback? I wasn't planning on modding the engine, rather just run it as is.

Thanks

The predators are made by Lifan.

Get whatever one suits your needs. I'm getting the lifan 9HP home Depot sells here shortly for a Toro riding mower. The second generation Harbor freight greyhound was a Lifan as well FYI.

I Stand corrected. The old predator was a Lifan. I Just saw a new hemi head at harbor freight. The manufactures mark is Loncin at least on the one with the cast aluminum rocker cover.
