Default Propane Questions

Hi Neighbor! We will be there next July just purschased our lot yesterday.

I have had experience with propane commercial grade lawn mowers. Saw them at EPA clean cities events and feedback from many state parks who have used them.

They work well, however look like rocket ships!

Propane can be safely used however! for our driving range of " Fun" in the villages your cart would have to be all tank on the back.

Propane is clean, no smell , few emissions,great engine life however has poor btu's and poor mileage. So the huge tanks! Performance suffers some unless the engine has been upgraded to a high compression pistion and different timing changes.

So for the time it is either the knocka knocknaa clunk clunk rattle polluting 90% of sales gas cart or like me going against the masses and picking electric. Been testing then em all week!

Right now today, my first choice is the Tomerlin. Stock! No pimp daddie huge tires. However better seating and enhanced batteries for range. I love the street legal construction but still cart path legal.
