Junk Deere propane kits http://m.deere.com/wps/dcom/en_US/corporate/our_company/news_and_media/news_and_media.page
Burns cleaner less fuel related problems, almost Zero carbon... But has about 10 to 20 percent Less energy, and is far less handy to refuel, along with the availability of close at hand sources of fuel... I use to do small & medium farm tractors using LP ... no one ever did large HP tractors with LP.
You will burn more fuel for the same job, but it fuel cost's less per gallon.
A small leak can be much More damaging in an enclosed building, than a small gasoline leak.
I suppose the cleaner burning is it's Largest positive, and that may be enough to consider getting New equipment rigged for it. I don't think I would convert existing although I have converted a few gasoline generators to nat gas or propane... :smile:KennyV

It's funny you should bring this up, yesterday I was thinking about a propane conversion while I was mulching the leaves. I don't know how cost effective it would be for a home owner, but around here propane is a full $1/gallon cheaper than gasoline. The thing I really like about propane is its ease of storage. We have several local sources of propane, so refueling isn't a problem either. I don't know how much the conversion kits are, but I'm sure they are priced high enough to make me wonder if they are worth it.
Need to make it public.
