Customer Reviews:
Impressive!
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...

Plenty of Power but Where are the Accessories
I purchased this mower one season ago to replace my old Craftsman 18HP mower that had served me well. The new mower has great power and the turning radius is impressive...it will cut in a circle leaving only a dinner plate sized patch unmowed in the center. I agree with the other reviewer that commented on the heavy steering, especially at low speeds or at a stop. Also, Snapper does not appear to offer a rear bagger or collector for this mower which is something I used often in the fall to collect leaves with my old mower. Overall the Snapper seems to be built of quality components and has a fairly comfortable seat and sitting position. The controls are convenient and clearly understandable. Based on one season of use, I would recommend this mower.

First blush review
Quick report. It did not work out of the box. But I did get it going in the end. Now a slightly longer story. It was brought here to the Hemlocks by a company called ABF, and dropped in the side yard for driver reasons. That had later implications. It came in a crate which was a pain in the tail to open up (like I had to use a crow bar). And then it could not get it out of the crate without me using the new Polaris Ranger to snatch it out, which I did do. And the battery to start it was empty, so I have to charge it, and hope it holds a charge. In the meantime I just jump started it. The location was too far for me to charge it by extension cord, so I just used the Polaris to jump start it. Later I hope to drive it over to the barn area and use the charger there during the night. The catch is the safey switch which cuts off the engine when I get up to unhook the jump start Polaris Ranger. More to come. The rest of it seems to work OK,...
