Do any of you have any experience with farily late model, self propelled,
walk behind Snapper mowers?

I saw one last month (in another State, on vacation), that I have interest
in. It was about 7 HP, self propelled, and 21 inch cut. Price was in
$500 range I think.

If you have one, how well do you like it ?? Is the mower blade attached to
the shaft, or is it belt driven?

I have to cut in areas where I am prone to hit large rocks, and I am
concerned about bending the shaft it is directly connected. I am also
interesting in how well the self propel mechanism is. I have a much older
mower that has a very simple friction spline that pinches up against the
rear tire. It doesn't work very well, especially when it gets wet.


Thanks for any comments !!

A tonic may work better than any machine. Try:
one can cola, one can beer, one cup liquid soap, and one
cup ammonia and spray with a 20 gallon sprayer. Thatching
only needs to be done if thicker than 3/4" and mulching,
if done right, doesn't cause thatch.

A can of beer is a lot cheaper than buying or rentals. Or, at
least American beer, ha!
