Snapper E3317523KVE Ride-On Mower £2299.00
The Snapper E3317523KVE has one of the largest cutting-widths of any domestic rear-engine ride-on (84cm), but retains the nimble manoeuvrability of its smaller counterparts. This combination makes it perfect for substantial lawns with trees; shrubs; beds; and garden furniture to mow around. With its 500cc Briggs & Stratton Intek Series 4175 overhead-valve engine, the Snapper E3317523KVE Ride-On Mower develops the sort of torque that’s essential when dealing with heavy grass-conditions.

Quick-response steering provides a more intuitive driving experience; while a split differential transmission helps to guard against turf-damage caused by wheel-spins. The gearing is encased in an oil-bath for reduced wear and therefore a longer working-life.
