The Snapper All Wheel Steer Lawn Tractor provides optimum maneuverability and efficiency. Unlike other tractors, the All Wheel Steer's front and rear wheels move together to cut along landscaping, reducing trimming time and providing professional results. The increased maneuverability also reduces the turf damage that traditional tractors can cause. With features that make operation as comfortable and easy as driving a car, the All Wheel Steer takes the "work" out of "yard work."

I went to Sears to find a replacement for my 19 year old, 12.5hp, 42" Craftsman lawn tractor and came home with the Snapper LT130. What a difference! I have no complaints about my old tractor - it has performed exceptionally well, but the Snapper seemed to be reading my mind as I went around the yard. Very smooth, responsive, and no lack of power. I was apprehensive at first about the 4 wheel steering, but would not go back to 2 wheel. The tractor seems to be well made with heavy duty parts where it counts. I look forward to many years mowing with the LT130.
3-21-2010: After putting a few hours on the machine I realize that the steering is a bit heavy. I have no problem with it, but someone with limited strength might find it difficult. Still an excellent mower!
4-27-10: I just ordered "high lift" blades for the tractor. (Murray P/N 92117) My "country lawn" is a bit thick for the mulching blades that came with the tractor. The deck gets clogged and really slows down production. I'll post an update when I get the new blades installed. I still say the mower is great, though...
6-19-10 New blades work much better. Mulching blades would probably work well if you mowed on a more regular basis than I do.
