I own a Husqvarna mover from Lowes. Walk behind mulcher, bagger, self propelled, Hodna engine Popular model. Third summer coming up

Neighbor bought a Snapper walk behind bagger, mulcher, various speeds. I think the easy vac model? I will get the model later.
Brand new. Bought it last August. Said he paid over 600 bucks for it

He is selling his house and no longer needs it. Said he would trade me to give away my mower with his house. Seems like a no brainer, but I know nothing about the Snapper

Anyone own one of these Snappers? I will get the model later. Seems to be a great mower. Should I trade

I've never had a walk behind snapper but had a riding one long ago and loved it.

Not sure who makes "Hodna" engines but I'd get a few more specs on the Snapper and post them up. Might have a B&S 875 series engine on it which would make it a easy trade for the Husky.

I think snapper is puting out a lil better equip. Just built with higher quality parts. Figured that out after I put my new husqvarna in the shop 2 times this past summer. All warranty work, still you spend 1800 on a mower you want to be able to use it. Talked with 3 deferent lawn mower machanics. All said snapper for the money.

Yeah, my Husky 125B leaf blower was a bit of a disappointment. Work great and really woke up after a little work on the muffler and tuning. It developed an air leak in the lower part of the crankcase seal and it will cost more than it's worth to have a shop fix it. I picked up an Echo based on the fact the PB2100 I bought more than 10 years ago is still running fine with minimal maintenance. I'll fix the Husky when I get back home eventually.

My Husky 700f was a great deal when I got it. Brand new from Brother in law that stepped up to a riding mower. Got it real cheap. I did however have some carb problems last summer. I cleaned it and still had trouble, then all of a sudden one day it started working better.

The snapper is a Briggs & Stratton 7.25 Engine

Most important selling point..........Comes with a Beer Holder

I cut the yard yesterday and this Snapper is fast. Rear wheel drive is nice
