I don't own one but have a buddy that is on his 2nd one in 20 years and just loves it , he likes the fact that it is just a simple mower with out all the bells and whistels that most of the others have , it does what it was designed to do -- cut grass -- not push snow or till dirt .

The CS is very good also and just about any service shop can work on them if needed .

i have always owned the rear engine snappers and had one of them last about 15 years.  i have caught the zero turn bug and would like the snapper zero turn but i don't know anybody that owns one.

i had one of the snapper zero turns, i think it was a 33 inch cut with 13 hp briggs. it had a joystik 1 handed steering.replaced starter solenoid one year, thats bout it. it was the smallest in their line i think.had good luck with it and sold it too a close freind and bought a bigger mower. bushhog brand that ive had more trouble with than the snapper. sold it to my neighbor and he aint had any trouble with it.i really liked it and would buy another one but the small one was totally diff than the bigger ones.

  I've bought my Grasshopper 721-D zero turn several years ago, and i wouldn't go back to a riding tractor again.  My zero turn cut my mowing time in half, and it does a much better job.

  I bought an industrial zero turn, so i wouldn't have to replace it any time soon, and i like how it rides so much better than the other designs.  That's important to me, as i have back problems, and i don't need to be making them worse.  Also, with the front deck it's easy to mow under bushes and tree's...
