I evaluated walk behinds last year before buying one and I am glad that I did. I would say to get as much information as you can and then wait until the dealer can let you trial mow or at least run it around the parking lot. You must decide which features are important but don't base that on price alone. You are the one behind the machine. Good luck. ed

I had an older 36" Snapper belt drive,12HP, cut great.I didn't like the long wheel base because it sclaped small humps.

I would suggest that you get a mower like scag,exmark,toro ect.We use a 14hp 36'' hydro scag and it is tuff as nails!We use our for lawn and snow removal.From the sound of things the snapper is a little slow.Our scag can hit 7mph.You can't walk that fast.I also think scag,exmark ect would give just as good of a cut as a snapper.Our scag gives a great cut!I have heard that exmark's also give a great cut.Look into these mowers before you get a snapper.I think snappers would be a good mower but I think the mowers I told you about would last longer.<p>P.S I have seen ferris also gives a good cut.<p>from:adam<br>AB Lawn Care
