Until they saw Forrest Gump cutting his lawn, most folks who grew up on smaller properties hadn't heard of a rear-engine rider. But as charming as the film may be, the Snapper machine that the title character made famous has long been overdue for an upgrade. Snapper showed us the difference 50 years makes at the recent Green Industry and Equipment Expo in Louisville. Even with its cherished past, the old model needed work. Getting on and off was somewhat cumbersome, the turning radius was wide, and certain actions weren't well thought out by today's standards. For example, you needed to work a lever while holding down a foot pedal in order to engage the blade. The old model's drive and deck haven't changed, but plenty else has. The highest-end model, the RE, has a hydrostatic drive for smooth gear changes.
