Different Snapper Pro S50X vs S50XT

[weesa20]

Shopping for a Snapper Pro S50X but with the 19h kawi motor (model number S50XTKAV1936) and have seen a lot of cheaper prices- come to find out these are on an earlier model S50X (S50X2036) which has a 20 HP Kawi FX motor-trying to figure out what else is different- looks like maybe they don't have the ICD deck on the 20HP version? Anyone know of other differences?

The sx50x2036 is the 36 inch deck those do not have the icd decks those are only on the 48 inch and up decks.

I'll have to call a snapper dealer tomorrow but I think the S50XT1936 has the ICD deck and is the newest model, also most expensive with 19 HP Kawi. I think the S50X2036 had the standard deck only and the 20HP Kawi. Pictures I have found online show the "XT" model number with a sloping front deck skirt, "X" model number machines have a vertical front deck skirt. (pictures could be wrong- it is the internet we're talking about, but then again one of the dealers i called today didn't know a 19HP Kawi was even available...)

icd is only on 48 inch and up decks for the new s50xt, 36 inch decks are 10 gauge steel non icd decks

engine options for the s50xt are 24, and 27 briggs. or 19hp kawasaki fx

I just got the s50xt with the 27hp briggs and 48 inch ICD deck and it's a great mower

How's the cut quality with the ICD deck?

I'm a fan of the cut, the only downside i have is that it doesn't hold a hill as well as other mowers I have used. But the price is great and its a great machine

You will want the ICD deck for sure. It has great cut quality and comes with a stripe kit. I demoed and seriously considered Snapper Pro last year. One of the best bang for the buck mowers available by far.
