Gasoline-Powered Commercial Mowers

Ease of Finding Fuel

The default fuel type will be gasoline. That's largely because gasoline is easy to find. Simply find a gas station near you to get all the fuel your mower needs. You won't have to waste time or energy looking for a specialty shop that sells a more unique fuel option.

Ease of Finding a Mechanic

Since gasoline-powered engines are the most common option on commercial mowers, it's easy to find a mechanic. Most repair shops know how to work on these types of engines. Some shops even specialize in gasoline engines.

Lower Upfront Cost

Commercial mowers that use gasoline usually cost less money upfront. This can be a great perk for a business that is just starting out and does not have a lot of money to invest yet.

Diesel-Powered Commercial Mowers

Lower Operating Cost

Diesel commercial mowers offer lower running costs in the long term. They are more efficient and need servicing less often. This means there will be less working time lost due to the commercial mower being serviced, which means less money lost due to downtime.

Better Longevity

These commercial mowers also have a longer life span, so you won't have to spend as much money replacing them.

Propane-Powered Commercial Mowers

Better for the Environment

There is a growing trend of propane mowers. This type of mower runs on a clean-burning fuel, which has helped it become popular because it has a lower environmental impact. The lower carbon build-up also helps increase the lifespan of these mowers.

Many municipalities and government agencies are now requiring this type of mower as part of their sustainability efforts.

If you opt for this style, you may also find that customers are more willing to invest in your business due to its being more environmentally friendly.

Easy Refueling

Refueling a propane-powered commercial mower is simple. All you need to do is disconnect the tank and put another in.
