Push Mower Engines

Why choose
gas power?

Not all mowers are the same. When you're cutting a bigger yard, thicker grass, or uneven terrain, battery will disappoint. But gas will get it done.

Half-truths like “Just as powerful as gas” are misleading and ultimately become costly. The trends show satisfaction with battery-powered mowers is collapsing. Push mowers powered by Briggs & Stratton are easy to use and deliver peak power from start to finish, every time, season after season. Battery can’t say that.

COSTLY REPLACEMENT

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

Yes, you could. With half of battery owners needing a new battery after two years, they're spending hundreds and hundreds more just to keep cutting. For long-term value, gas mowers are the smarter choice.

CONVENIENCE

Refill in seconds, not minutes.

Your time is valuable. So keep in mind while you can refill a gas mower in about 45 seconds, a battery mower needs at least 45 minutes* to fully recharge. Gas gets you back 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

3 steps. 5 minutes. It's easier than ever.

Many Briggs & Stratton® push mower engines feature Just Check & Add™ so you’ll never have to change the oil. Just top off the oil, 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 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 on a replacement battery. Gas mowers are made to deliver consistent power, and with a little care, will last for years and years.
