Average Rating: 5.0 of 5.0 Written August 15, 2009 My new Snapper 23 hp! By Roger Moraes from (Manchester, TN) I own a home with about 1.3 acres. I used to have a smaller mower with a rear engine and 10 HP. I was going to buy a John Deere. I decided to look around a little more and found the Cub Cadet with the same features as the Deere. I hopped online and tried to find better deals. I was always very happy with my older Snapper, so I looked for Snapper online. When I found this one I gave it a shot. In 3 days I had it at my door! I uncrated it and installed the steering wheel and the seat. Today was the first day that we mowed the yard with the new mower- I was impressed! My grass looks 100% better in 1/2 the time! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Don't buy those cheap units at Lowe's or Home Depot- SNAPPER IS THE WAY TO GO! Thanks, Mowers Direct.com! Written August 13, 2009 Snapper Rules!! By Robert Lowe from (Bridge City, TX) Awesome service, arrived on time. Snapper rules, the best mower ever, rides like a Caddy and a great buy, too. One happy customer! Written July 13, 2009 How to Safely Use Your Lawn Mower By Jon Hoch, Founder from (Bolingbrook, IL)   We're adults here. Most of us know how to safely use a lawn mower. Kids, however, aren't as experienced. If you have small children, you should be required by law to watch this video. Too many kids get hurt because their parents don't act responsibly. Written July 12, 2009 How to Safely Lift Riding Lawn Mowers By Jon Hoch, Founder from (Bolingbrook, IL)   Servicing a walk-behind lawn mower is a piece of cake. Simply push it onto its side. Good luck trying to turn a riding lawn tractor or zero turn mower over. These heavy-duty machines weigh hundreds of pounds. You can hurt yourself or damage the mower if you do it incorrectly. Now, imagine if you had a lift to quickly raise and lower your mower. Best of all, you can crank the handle using an ordinary cordless drill. Watch this video from MoJack Lawn Mower Lift to learn more about this time saving product. Very cool. Written June 18, 2009 Follow-up after 9 hours of Snapper use By Ko from (Noblesville, IN) I read the new review and wanted to comment to other potential buyers. The set-up instructions from the factory explain that the battery had a date on it and that before using it, depending on that date it must be charged (recharged) for 8-10 hours prior to the first use of the mower. I needed to do that. After that charge was completed in my own home for the Snapper I purchased, NO PROBLEM, NO need to replace with anything else! The battery has had no issues, problems or needed anything else in the 9 hours of use it has given me already this summer. Also, I have uneven property to mow and managed to get the mowing deck out of adjustment so that it mowed unevenly. I've got a comment for you on that... WOW- was that an easy adjustment, with NO tools! That isn't to say you couldn't have used tools but "I" didn't end up needing any for the job. It's a great design for a correction to what otherwise would be a big problem. I just followed the well written instructions in the owners manual, and within 5 minutes (seriously- 5 minutes!) it mowed the lawn nice and even. Heck, I'll admit I was putting off going out and looking it over to see how to do it, or what I was going to need to do. But, there was no reason for my putting it off - it was so easy! So keep Snapper in business as they have a great product in my opinion, so far so good. I've got lots of 'stuff' (trees, etc.) to trim around and I just slow it way down and manage to get pretty darn near things to trim, saving a lot of time and energy with the push mower, every time! Give one a try- I don't think you will be disappointed... but don't forget to READ the owners manual, which was important for knowing how to use the mower, and what to do when anything needs to be done. I knew I'd seen instructions for the deck, so I knew where to look for help- I just didn't have any idea how easy it was going to be to make a correction to my Snapper. Have a great summer- I'm still lovin' my 46” Snapper mower! Written June 02, 2009 SNAPPER PURCHASE By ALAN from (Rhinebeck, NY) I recently purchased a Snapper tractor from Mowers Direct and was pleased with it with one exception. The battery does not have enough amperage to start the 23 horse twin. I contacted my local Snapper dealer and was told that I needed at least 290 amps. The battery in the tractor that I purchased was only 260 amps. My local dealer kindly replaced the under-powered battery with a new 290 amp battery. Other than this small problem, I was happy with the purchase experience with Mowers Direct and think I saved about $700. MOWERS DIRECT RESPONDS: The mowers we sell ship exactly the way they are packaged by the manufacturers. Thank you for your business! Written May 23, 2009 46" Snapper LT100 7800342 -Unbelieveable! By Ko from (Noblesville, IN) What a happy ending. I've shopped around, been out of work, back to work several times, keeping me from a new mower. I wore out 2 push mowers in the meantime. I wanted a new mower so I could stop push mowing the 1 acre now for 2 years.........and the 46" Snapper 23hp from Mowersdirect seemed too good to be true! BUT, IT WAS PERFECT! I placed my order last Wednesday about 10 pm on-line and by Friday at 7am the R&L delivery folks called me and said they would be there before noon to deliver! WOW! just over 24 hours to my doorstep in Noblesville, Indiana! And...........I was soooooooooooooo pleased. It's in great condition. We uncrated it using claw hammers, assembled the steering wheel and seat, charged the battery (8 hours) and started that Snapper up and pulled it off of the crate. It used to take 3-4 hours to mow, trim and weed whack the lawn with three of us (2 teens and me). Today it took 1.5 hours at a very moderate speed. I'm not only impressed, I'm HAPPY. The lawn looks GREAT - the uneven places and tree roots were all easily managed using the easy mower deck adjustment - fantastic Snapper product. And...don't let the name fool ya. It isn't a slow turtle. If you want it to run like a rabbit, it will! You hear about scams, and to be careful on internet deals. Well, this one was for real, and I'm so very pleased. My 21-year-old daughter walked up to me and hugged me and said, "You are happy today, mama. Is it the mower and how easy it all will be now to keep up this summer?" YES, indeed! I would have had to pay $1899 Plus 7 percent tax and delivery costs at the local dealer for a 42" Snapper 23 hp that I'd already priced. MowersDirect.com saved me......almost $400 of my hard earned savings, so I can use that for the re-painting on the house this year! And- I got a larger mowing deck!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE EASY TO USE WEB-SITE, SAFE PROCESSING OF MY PAYMENT, UNBELIEVEABLE -QUICK- DELIVERY, RELIABLE DELIVERY WITH R&L, MOWER IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND THE START OF A GREAT SUMMER. THANK YOU!!!!
