Snapper invented the rear-engine rider, and we've been in front of the curve ever since. So it's easy to see why our rear- engine riders are the #1 sellers in America. With a variety of models, a range of engines that feature the power of Briggs & Stratton along with a variety of cutting widths, Snapper rear engine riders are the easy choice for a great looking lawn every time out.

3 Ways to Mow Whether you select a standard mowing deck or a HI-VAC® deck, most Snapper rear-engine riders offer 3-n-1 convertibility so you can side discharge, bag or mulch your grass clippings depending on lawn conditions and personal preferences.


* 3-N-1 Convertibility - Easy, 3-N-1 convertibility offers three mowing choices — from side discharge to bagging to mulching.
* Exclusive Disc Drive Transmission - This design eliminates complicated clutches and provides easy forward/reverse drive. The disc travels across the drive plate to achieve ground speed.
* Mulching - The patented Ninja Mulching System produces the ultimate in mulching performance. With six unique cutting surfaces on each Ninja blade, grass clippings are cut and re-cut into an extremely fine mulch that disappears into the lawn and decomposes quickly.
* Pivoting Frame - Allows the mower to easily adjust to the contours of any lawn for a smooth cut.
* Quick Response Steering - One-to-one steering ratio helps you maneuver easily around tight spots and make quick turns.
* Stand-On-End - With its stand-on-end capability, storage and cleaning of your Snapper Rear-Engine Rider is quick and convenient.
