Clean Diesel: The environmentally responsible fuel choice As leaders of the green industry, landscape professionals are ready to do everything possible to reduce the carbon footprint left behind by their maintenance and construction projects. Efficient use of power is key to reducing consumption and emissions, so it's no surprise that diesel is the fuel of choice that powers most hard-working equipment, including tractors, construction equipment, buses and heavy trucks. Diesel is dependable. With over a century of development, diesel engines are proven performers in all types of commercial equipment. On the flip side, liquid propane (LP) and compressed natural gas (CNG) are rarely used to power hard-working equipment. The reason is because diesel delivers a lot more power in less quantity, allowing work to be performed efficiently with less consumption. As a result, diesel is still the best alternative when it comes to commercial mowing equipment. Cleaner fuel processing and engine technologies have put diesel on par with or superior to any other commercially viable fuel today. It is readily available, clean, powerful and economical, especially considering the operating costs of the mower over the life of the machine. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, technological advances and stricter guidelines have allowed diesel to become one of the cleanest burning fuels available, and off-road diesel fuels are fast approaching par with on-road diesel. In fact, Grasshopper diesel models are ahead of the curve with the use of CARB Tier-4I fuel-efficient engines. Request more information about Grasshopper diesel mowers
