I should add that canisters being refilled must be in good shape and have a pressure relief valve, which most do.

The 16 oz canisters can be refilled from a larger tank. You need a MacCoupler or similar adapter and to follow the instructions to fill it correctly. Reusing canisters keeps cost down, getting the canister fully but not overfilled is a bit of an art.

Also standard attachments you can use would be items such as blade edgers, hedge trimmers, tillers, etc.

Hi John,
I am not sure if you can refill them or not. I have to assume that they do make the canisters that can be refilled. Check at Home Depot and see… look in the plumbing supplies section.
Also, LEHR does make a propane powered back pack blower, and the last time I talked to them, they were working on some more equipment. You should call them directly and see if they have anything in the works for you. Other than that, you could convert your mowers to propane fairly easily if you were so inclined. best of luck to you! Oh, and Dixie Chopper makes diesel powered zero turn mowers.
