Q: Respectfully request if the Snapper Model 7800786 as shown on your web site is ready for mulching , or do we need to purchase an additional mulching kit. Your reply and comments are appreciated. by Mary Ann from Louisiana on January 11, 2012
A: Mary Ann
This mower is not ready for mulching initally. The kit compatible for this mower to make it mulch capable is model 7600100. That is the kit that will convert this mower to mucl capable. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Does the grass catches come with Snapper Model 7800784? by Ronald Currier from Wyoming on July 10, 2011
A: Ronald - the grass catcher is NOT included with any of the Snapper rear engine riding mowers. The grass catcher has to be purchased separately.
I like the new Snapper lawn mower. It came on time and has been great so far.
The vendor is very helpful and delivered the product very quickly considering the size and weight of the product, and of course at a hard to beat price.
I had a Snapper before for 10 years before a con-man took it away; I hope I get the same run or better on this one.
The only thing I don't like on this new model is that it does not let you reverse when engaged and the brake seems jerky.

Some Assembly Required
First there are too many sub-assemblies. The assembly instructions were vague and poorly written. No chart to let you know what nut or screw should be used.
The drive for the wheels is also weak. I anticipate having trouble with it in the near future.
To end on a positive note it does cut grass well and the high-vacuum sucks the grass up quite well.

Rick,
This unit has a 2 year Factory Warranty, so if you do have trouble with the wheel drive in the near future your local Snapper service can help you.

Not Easy
The steering & seat required assembly: it was more work than I expected. When mowing, it's a nuisance to re-engage the blade after backing up.
Also, I've been unable to remove the nut holding original blade in place when attempting to install the Ninja mulch blade. I'm going to sell the whole thing.

Dave,
Before you sell the mower, you might want to give the folks at Snapper Tech Support a call, toll free, at (800) 935 2967. They may be able to give you some tips to improve the performance of your mower & get the blade changed out.

Great Mower
I bought my 28" snapper from a local dealer hear in FL. and am very pleased with it. Mows perfect, easy to start with the pull start and have been asked to do my neighbors yard. Even at 28" cut it still mows more and faster than my 42" cut walk-behind and I am relaxed after mowing as here in FL. it can get real hot mowing. I'm very pleased so far and the operators manual is a big help in keeping it running smooth. I ordered the Ninja mulching kit and it has been back ordered twice which I don't like. Any further North and I will use a snow shovel before the kit gets here. Overall, It will serve me well for many years. Good to see its made in the good ole U.S.A.

Theft Replacment
The purchase of my new Snapper Riding Lawn Mower from Mowers Direct went very smoothly.
I had my other Snapper Riding Lawn Mower for 32 years, and then someone stole it. If not for the theft, I would still be using it.

Complete Satisfaction
This piece of equipment is probably one of the best products i ever bought.
It is a no-nonsense machine: no fancy covers and plastic you do not need; all function, no bull.
Free shipping and no tax was huge and I feel the price did not reflect on these added cost possibilities.
Great product- keep up the good work!!!!

Snapper Snapped
I received my mower on 6/4/2012, put it together and started it up. It sputtered, spit and back fired so bad I could not mow my lawn. I sent you an email and you told me to take it to a shop. There it sits in the shop, and I have not cut the first blade of grass yet. I only have a week left before I can return it. That is my story.

Great Dealer
This was my first experience with Mowers Direct and I am very pleased. The delivery was on time and within a few days of ordering. The mower was delivered without a scratch. The instructions were clear and the minor assembly required was easy. I will do business with this company in the future. The mower is great and the cut is even and my yard looks perfect when finished. The reverse blade cut off, although a safety feature, was annoying and I have to be in reverse at several points on my property. It is easy to make a temporary adjustment to that feature. I would recommend this mower to anyone.
