HI-VAC® Rear Engine Rider

Snapper invented the rear engine rider, and they have been in front of the curve ever since. So it's easy to see why Snapper's 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 and Kohler 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 a 3-n-1 convertibility so you can side discharge, bag or mulch your grass clippings depending on lawn conditions and personal preferences.

 


The hundreds of thousands of Snapper Disc Drive transmissions in service speak to the durability of this elegantly simple technology. This design eliminates complicated clutches and provides easy forward/reverse drive. The disc travels across the drive plate to achieve ground speed.
