The Propane Education and Research Council is instituting a new program to help show how propane use can cut mowing costs while reducing harmful emissions. Research participants can receive rebates for new mower purchases and qualifying mower conversions.

According to the Propane Education and Research Council, switching to propane-fueled commercial mowers can help landscape professionals cut fuel costs and increase profitability, while reducing harmful emissions.

To help prove this, the council is launching a research effort, which will reward landscapers for their participation.

With The Propane Mower Incentive Program, the council will provide $1,000 for a qualifying new mower purchase, and $500 for a qualifying mower conversion. In return, participants will provide feedback and performance data for one mowing season to help the council document the cost savings and benefits that propane-fueled mowers can deliver.

A limited amount of incentives are available so it is recommended to sign up right away.
