Push Mower Engines

Why choose
gas powered mowers?

Not all push mowers are the same. When you're cutting a bigger yard, thicker grass, or uneven terrain, a battery-powered mower can disappoint you by running out of charge before the job's done. It also can't handle long, thick grass. And battery replacements are expensive. But gas-powered mowers don't have any of these disadvantages.

Claims about battery-powered mowers being “just as powerful” as gas-powered mowers are misleading. Surveys show owner satisfaction with battery-powered push mowers is collapsing. But easy-to-use mowers powered by Briggs & Stratton engines deliver peak power from start to finish, every time, year after year. That’s an advantage battery-powered mowers just don't have.

COSTLY REPLACEMENT

"What?! I could buy a new gas-powered mower for that."

Yes, you could. Half of battery-powered push mowers need a replacement after two years. Why spend hundreds of dollars just to keep cutting? For long-term value, gas-powered mowers are the smarter choice.

CONVENIENCE

Ready to mow in seconds, not minutes.

Your time is valuable. Why wait 45 minutes for a battery to recharge? Refueling a gas-powered mower takes about 45 seconds — so you get back to mowing 60X faster. Wow.

PERFORMANCE

Don't get stuck with a dead battery and half-done lawn.

Gas engines deliver unrelenting power and consistent runtimes in tougher conditions. Batteries can overheat, shutdown, or lose 2/3 of their runtime when cutting thicker grass.

MAINTENANCE MADE EASY

No more oil changes: Annual maintenance now takes just 5 minutes

Many Briggs & Stratton® push mower engines feature Just Check & Add™, so you’ll never have to change the oil. Just top it off, drop in a new air filter and change the spark plug to be ready for another season. So easy.

ENDURANCE

Gas is the durable choice.

Battery-powered mowers lose the ability to fully recharge over time, especially if left out in the cold. That means less runtime, more recharging or needing to spend hundreds of dollars on a replacement battery. Gas-powered mowers deliver consistent power — and with a little care, they’ll last for years.
