The Honda GX Series Gas Engines carried by Rittenhouse are OHV horizontal shaft commercial grade engines. They are commonly found on sprayers, compressors, pumps, pressure washers, lawn equipment, chippers, go-karts, concrete saws, golf turf equipment and more.
Honda Engines are the engine of choice to drive lawn and landscape sprayers assembled at Rittenhouse. For turf care, our most popular combination is the 5.5 Horse Power Honda Model GX160QH with the Hypro Model D30 Pump.

Honda has recently re-rated the GX160 engines and is now claiming you need perfect conditions for 5.5 hp. So they no longer guarantee 5.5 hp on the GX 160. However it is still the exact same engine.
