If you thought that Snapper doesn’t fit in the commercial game, then you should probably look again. In particular, the Snapper Pro S200XT zero turn offers the professional options and specs that you expect in a commercial mower. Furthermore, if cutting capacity concerns you, the Snapper Pro S200XT comes with a 61 or 72-inch fabricated cutting deck.
Snapper Pro S200XT Zero Turn Features
Power comes from the Vanguard big block commercial series engine. The 27-hp engine delivers power to the ground through dual Hydro-Gear ZT-5400 transaxles. Also available is the Vanguard Oil Guard system that extends oil changes to 500 hours, hence reducing maintenance time significantly.
On the cutting side, the Snapper Pro S200XT includes the innovative iCD cutting system. The iCD system provides better airflow, discharge, and even quality of cut. A foot-operated deck life makes changing cutting deck heights a breeze. Cutting heights range from 1-1/2″ to 6″, in 1/4″ increments.
