You’ve likely heard how propane can power all kinds of appliances, like HVAC systems, ovens and vehicles. Many commercial businesses also use propane to power various types of machinery, such as generators and commercial kitchens. Propane is often used to power heaters and other appliances in the agriculture industry. Many commercial businesses switch to propane to reduce emissions and overhead fuel costs.
Commercial landscapers and farmers can also use propane in lawn mowers rather than traditional gas. Using alternative fuel in lawnmowers has many benefits, including long-lasting fuel efficiency and cleaner burning.
Propane-powered lawn mowers aren’t as common as the standard gas mowers, but those that have them benefit from using an alternative form of fuel. Unlike gasoline, propane is in a gas form and powers the lawnmower using a canister connected to the fuel line. The fuel line runs to the engine, and when the lawnmower is running, the propane combusts and creates the necessary energy to power the mower. The system also includes a pressure regulator, ensuring the propane pressure maintains a safe level.
You can buy a new commercial propane mower or convert your current mower to use propane. As gas prices rise, more people turn to propane lawn mowers to reduce their costs. Since propane has a lower carbon content than traditional gasoline, it’s better for the environment when it burns. Using propane instead of gas can improve your carbon footprint and make you more appealing to eco-friendly buyers.
Once commercial landscapers and farmers make the switch, they choose to stay, thanks to the many benefits propane mowers offer. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of propane-powered lawnmowers.
Switching to propane mowers from gas mowers has many benefits for commercial landscapers and farmers. Some reasons you might consider choosing a propane mower include fuel-related and operational benefits.
Propane mowers can help your business get more out of your fuel with advantages like these:
Some operational benefits your business could see by switching to propane mowers include:
Another benefit for commercial business owners is that you don’t have to switch brands if you change to propane. Many brands sell propane-powered models.

Our staff is very busy with projects in house and we needed someone (local) whom we could rely on to manage both electric and Natural gas for the long- term future. What stands out the most with our relationship / partnership with Shipley is the open communication between the companies. Shipley is constantly monitoring our usages to protect us from unanticipated surprises in the extreme heat or cold temperatures of our seasons. Shipley has well documented usages for our facility and shares that information as we move throughout the seasons and contract process. Shipley strives to uncomplicate the process and is open for conversations as required. I would suspect that If you are looking for a new supplier or are unhappy with your current supplier you owe it to yourself to visit with their sales staff.”
