Yard & Garden magazine just featured a new lawn tractor from Snapper in its enewsletter today: http://equipment.greenindustrypros.com/product/83193/Snapper_NXT_Rider. Now we just got wind of the fact that Dixon is coming out with a new line of lawn and garden tractors.
From 2003-2008 all we heard about was how zero-turns were gaining in popularity like crazy, even with homeowners. Then box stores also started to stock a bunch of zero-turns.
Here we are today, in the early-spring of 2010, and two well-established consumer mower manufacturers are launching tractors.
Keep an eye on www.greenindustrypros.com/onlinefeatures as the editors of Yard & Garden investigate what is happening in the consumer mower market right now to prompt these changes.
