    I am thinking of converting my gas equipment to propane and wanted know the pros and cons from some of you who have done this.

    Tom,

    I haven't done it personally, but we did have a group at our state show that is promoting it. Mostly to landscapers. When I talked with the guy, the biggest con was the idea of getting a fueling station or having to go get tanks filled. It's easier with landscapers as they are traveling anyway. The biggest pros were cost of fuel and it is suppose to possible help with some maintenance issues since it is cleaner burning as I understood it. Now if it's worth the investment? I haven't seen the evidence yet, at least on the small fleet I have at the moment.
