The Snapper Lawn Mower company traces its roots to 1951, when the first rotary mower bearing the name “Snappin’ Turtle” rolled off he assembly Line in East Point, Georgia. Featuring self propel and rotary blade design which has since become standard, the country was taken by storm.

The company eventually changed the name to Snapper lawn mower company, and supplied many of the innovations that led the lawn mower industry for decades. The company was acquired by Briggs and Stratton, and continues to manufacture an excellent line of mowers. All the models are equipped with heavy duty steel decks. Some have steel wheels fitted with ball bearings. Snapper lawn mowers may feature a unique rear wheel self propel design, which eliminates gears altogether. This system uses a rotating disc which is incredibly durable, and allows for speed adjustment. Most models are of the ‘3 in 1’ design, which allows for rear bagging, side discharge, or mulching of the grass clippings.
