Snapper® Adds Ergonomic Features To SPX Tractor And 360Z Zero Turn Mower

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs & Stratton Corporation is delivering smoother rides on the Snapper^® 360Z Zero Turn Mower and Snapper SPX™ Lawn Tractor. Upgrades to the popular mowers include a redesigned mid-back cut and sewn seat for enhanced rider comfort during operation and rugged 11- by 6-inch front caster tires. The new tires not only look robust but achieve more surface area for less ground pressure and a smoother ride.

"With a 360Z, homeowners can not only mow their lawn comfortably, they can haul dirt, tools and more," said Christin Wam, marketing manager for turf and consumer products at Briggs & Stratton. "The available integrated cargo bed¹ provides on-the-go versatility and convenience. Plus, its rail system is compatible with numerous third-party UTV/ATV accessories for added utility."

Commercially Inspired Snapper 360Z
Enhancements on this year's refreshed Snapper 360z includes upgraded, rugged 11-by 6-inch front caster tires which increases the surface area for less ground pressure and a smoother ride. Paired with a new mid-back cut and sew seat on select models rider comfort is front and center. The 360Z line-up includes many commercially-inspired features, including a fully welded steel frame and thick-walled front axle. Consumers can choose between a 36-, 42-, 48- or 52-inch fabricated steel mower deck or a 46-inch stamped mower deck that offers cutting durability to mow season after season. Fabricated mower decks even come with a limited lifetime warranty². A commercial-style foot operated mower deck lift makes adjusting between height-of-cut positions simple for the operator. Homeowners have several high-performance engines to choose from, including Briggs & Stratton Professional Series™ Engines with the ReadyStart^® feature, and Kawasaki^® FR Engines. Select models include an integrated rear cargo bed offering a 50-pound capacity for more on-the-go versatility and convenience around the yard compared to a traditional zero turn mower.
