Summer 2025 Is Heating Up – And So Are Your Projects

An inside look at the engines America runs on, only from Carroll Stream Motor Company.

As summer 2025 blazes on, one thing is certain — your projects aren’t going to finish themselves. Whether you're tackling acres of tough terrain, powering up custom-built equipment, or reviving engines in the middle of peak season, Carroll Stream Motor Company is here to make sure you don’t stall out mid-summer.

This season, we’re seeing a surge in demand for small gas and diesel engines across landscaping, construction, farming, and DIY builds. According to Google Trends, search interest for replacement engines, gear reduction motors, and commercial-grade power solutions climbs significantly between May and August, peaking in late June — right when many outdoor projects hit full speed. That means reliability isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And that’s exactly what we deliver.

Our new campaign, “Summer’s Heating Up,” highlights what we do best: supply the engines that keep America running. We feature our top-performing engines — each one a proven powerhouse that gets the job done and then some. From rugged fields to backyard builds, our customers are powering through the season with confidence, knowing they’re backed by engines designed to perform under pressure.

What’s Hot This Summer?

Among our best sellers, one model continues to lead the pack — the Rhino 16HP Gas Engine with Electric Start. A customer favorite, this beast offers 18-amp charging capability and the perfect blend of brawn and dependability. It’s become the go-to engine for everything from mobile equipment builds to high-torque machinery applications.

For those needing precision and torque in tight setups, our Rhino 6.5HP 6:1 Gear Reduction Engine and Briggs & Stratton 130G52-0182-F1 are in high demand. These gear reduction models offer a compact footprint with incredible force output, ideal for applications like cement mixers, pressure washers, and small utility applications.

If electric start convenience and small-frame power are what you're after, don’t overlook the Honda GX200UT2-QXE2 or Honda GX390UT2-QAE2 — both fan favorites among landscape crews and serious DIYers. These engines are trusted worldwide, and it’s no surprise they’re keeping pace as top-selling options this summer.

On the commercial side, Kawasaki’s FH721D-S08 and FX730V-S00 engines are powering a wave of professional mowers and heavy-duty equipment. Known for their durability and performance, these models are engineered for long days and tough jobs.

Whether it’s power, torque, or just pure muscle, our Rhino 22HP Gas Engine with Electric Start is helping customers go big. Paired with deep inventory and rapid shipping, it’s become a top choice for those who can’t afford to wait.

We understand that time is everything in summer. That’s why we offer same-day shipping and free shipping on orders over $100. Our fulfillment team is trained to move quickly, getting your engine to your door without delays. Because nothing kills momentum like downtime.

Finish What You Started

So if your mower’s down, your custom build is halfway there, or your current engine just doesn’t have what it takes — it’s time to refuel. We’re the team behind the machines that keep America running strong.

This summer, don’t settle for engines that quit. Rely on the power of Rhino, the dependability of Honda, the legacy of Briggs & Stratton, and the performance of Kawasaki — all under one roof.
