Snapper Walk Behind Push Mower

I have owned a Snapper lawn mower for at least 20 years. The mower was a gift and it was running until last year when I decided to buy a new mower because I thought the Snapper had seen better days.

I loved using the Snapper when we had steep hills to mow. I used to have a yard that dropped almost straight down and was impossible to mow with anything but my Snapper. Most mowers will die on an incline, but the Snapper just keeps on going.

I could tie a rope around the mower handle and pull it up and down the hill to cut the grass and the mower would cut it without tipping. It is also great in small areas such as in and around flowerbeds that are a foot to a foot and a half wide.

If it is a raised bed, the mower is light enough to pick up and place in the flower garden to cut down Iris’s and other plants in the fall that needs to be cut back. I could maneuver the mower to cut in any direction.

The only thing I did not like about the Snapper mower was the fact that the mower would die if it collected a piece of grass on the spark plug.

In addition, if the filter became clogged the mower would be hard to start. Other than those two items and the fact that it cuts a small area of the lawn at a time, the mower has outlasted many different mowers I have purchased.

I still have the Snapper, incase I decide to have it fixed, but I just cannot bring myself to part with it. I hope that someday I will get it running again or at least buy another one. I am getting disgusted with the new mower because it is so big and clumsy and cannot do the job the Snapper has performed for me in the past.
