Beginning in October, landscape professionals can earn double the incentive dollars available through the Propane Education & Research Council’s (PERC’s) Propane Mower Incentive Program. Through the end of the year, program participants can earn $2,000 toward the purchase of a new propane-powered mower and $1,000 toward a qualified conversion.

“Our Propane Mower Incentive Program has been a valuable asset to contractors and fleet managers transitioning from gasoline or diesel to clean, American-made propane, whether it’s one mower or an entire fleet,” said Jeremy Wishart, deputy director of business development for PERC. “Propane already offers significant fuel and maintenance savings over conventional fuels, and now through our doubled incentive landscapers can realize an even faster ROI.”

Since the program’s inception in 2012, more than 500 contractors have received incentive dollars in exchange for data about their usage and mower performance. The doubled incentive runs from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31.

GIE+EXPO perks

In addition, PERC is celebrating the increased incentive through a “Double Your Money” promotion at GIE+EXPO, held Oct. 22-24 in Louisville, Ky. Attendees who visit Toro’s or Exmark’s outdoor booth spaces and view or test drive a propane-powered mower will receive a marked ticket, earning them a chance to spin PERC’s prize wheel. Participants can win a chance to be entered into drawings for a propane grill, a $500 Visa gift card or the top “Double Your Money” prize: a $1,000 Visa gift card drawing.
