although manufactured by MTD, these big box Machines are built by the same plan as any snapper. Both places sell snapper walk behind self-propelled mowers for anywhere from $300-$800. unfortunately, snapper has also licensed MTD to manufacture mowers, using the snapper name, to be sold by big box stores such as Home Depot and Walmart. Snapper is currently owned by bridge and Stratton. I have used Toro before, however there seem to be too many working parts to mess up on the Toro mowers. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!Īndy, i have ised Snapper self propelled mowers, both professionally and on my own lawn, for over 30 years. I am dumbfounded as to why the Snapper cuts grass so poorly.Īre those of you that are using Snappers happy with your cut quality? Have you found non-Snapper blades that perform better? Maybe I could use the Honda blades on my Snapper- would that work? Even when I slow to medium-slow, the results are the same- crummy! Lately, I've been mowing in the middle of the 7 height settings. I mow at medium speed and make sure that all wheels are adjusted identically. In contrast, the Honda cut beautifully (I used on the twin mulching blades with that mower). The grass gets cut, but there seem to be many stray longer blades, and even those that are cut seem quite uneven. The Ninja gave really bad cutting quality (a 1 on a scale of 10) and the Hi-Vac blade rates maybe a 3. I've tried both the Ninja mulching blade, and more recently, the Hi-Vac blade using the bag. Even the repair shop said it wasn't worth fixing since there was a lot of labor to replace the tranny since it was wedged in the corner of the mowing deck.Īnyways, my problem with the Snapper is that the grass cutting evenness is really bad. I had to junk a 6 year old Honda Harmony that was in good shape except for the fact that the tranny had seized and fixing it would cost close to $300. I like the mower OK, seems solid, and I like the fact that the transmission is mounted outside the mower deck, which makes it accessible. I'm new to GardenWeb and this is my first post, so any feedback on my little problem would be very welcome.Ī couple of weeks ago I bought a Snapper Hi-Vac walk-behind mower (P21875BV) with a decent B&S Intek engine.
