The Snapper Pro S200xt large-frame mid-mount zero-turn mower now features a 28-gross-hp model featuring the Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 810cc engine with EFI.
Based on the success of the Vanguard Big Block, this new engine features forged rods, crank, cast valve covers, and a dynamically balanced flywheel. Like the Big Block, it also has a "beefy" 5-inch Donaldson air cleaner.
Other key features of the S200xt mower include:
- Commercial Hydro-Gear ZT-5400 Powertrain transaxles with 9-inch cooling fans
- Ground speed up to 10 mph
- 61-inch iCD Cutting System designed for a variety of grass conditions; baffle design and deep deck allow for better airflow, while the extra-wide opening allows for a more even, greater dispersal of clippings
- Cast-iron greaseable spindles
- Easy-to-use foot-operated deck lift
- 1/4-inch cutting height increments from 1.5 to 6 inches
- 24-inch drive tires
The Vanguard 810cc engine is made in the USA using the Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Certified Production Process. Hand-built by Master Service Technicians, all engine assembly information is data-logged, giving the engine a particular “DNA.” Finally, all engines are dynamometer-certified prior to release in the market.
