According to an article in Diesel Progress North American Edition, (Feb. 2006) by Dawn M. Geske: ?EUR??,,????'?????<

Now Dixie Chopper has a new line of propane-powered lawn mowers . . . Not sure if they are in that company?EUR??,,????'?????<

Bobcat, of course, has had a line of loaders that use propane, however, according to one of their Southern California reps, the horse power for heavy earth moving is not quite up there and he recommended diesel . . .

Still, I expect others, in many of the power equipment categories, to soon follow with their own propane or ?EUR??,,????'?????<

From most of the comments it just seems that there is too much competition to offer traditional wages in the landscape industry to attract actual citizens . . . However, if the House bill dominates the floor then the price to hire illegals will push the costs of labor and thus the price of your work up the ladder . . . Maybe then the Workers Comp debacle will gain more attention from PLANET (the Professional Landcare Network) and the state associations . . . $25-$35.00/per $100 is just plain ridiculous, let alone if the new legislation means that you will be paying more per labor hour before WC kicks in . . .

Of course those are just my opinions . . .
