[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3790608, member: 40561"] Do you have any idea why basically everything with a small engine is set to run at 3600 rpm? I was curious what a Cub Cadet runs at and in looking that up I find that that is a pretty standard RPM which seems weird that so many different applications use the exact same RPM. Seems that most lawn mowers, snow blowers, generators etc are all set to the same engine RPM. Any ideas? The closest thing that I could find had to do with small engines on generators and 3600 RPM being 60 revolutions per second which helps with the 60 hertz that is used for electricity in the states, but what the heck does that have anything to do with lawn mowers and snow blowers and pressure washers and all that? I know that there are obviously some that do not run at this rpm, but it seems like a majority of them do. So what's magic about 3,600 rpm? [/QUOTE]
