With that disclaimer, the Snapper Commercial lawn mower traveled just 13′ before it bogged down. So, we didn’t factor in these results in our final scoring. It’s worth noting that there are too many variables for this to be a completely objective measurement of a mower’s performance. When the mower quit, we measured the distance. We threw this mower into our torture test, where we cut a straight line into 5 weeks’ worth of grass growth and walking at a consistent 2.5 MPH. The blade is still able to cut well at that speed, but the engine does seem to bog down easier than other commercial models. It’s the biggest reduction we saw, dipping to 165.7 MPH. When we upped the pressure, we saw an 8.9 MPH drop with this Snapper Commercial lawn mower. However, throwing the mowers under a heavier load will affect blade tip speed for gas power. But with gas-powered engines, the blade tip speed stays remarkably similar to its no-load speed. Generally, we’ll see an increase in blade tip speed here.
With battery-powered motors, a light load/maintenance cut is enough to drive the engine to direct more power to the blade. However, that’s still plenty of speed for cutting and we need to consider how it changes under load before coming to any kind of judgment. Out of our commercial gas-powered lawn mower options, this was the slowest. The Snapper Commercial’s 21″ blade, without being put under any kind of stress, maintained 2797 RPM with a 174.7 MPH speed at the blade tips. We started out measuring our mowers’ cutting speeds by starting out with no-load testing. Cutting PowerĪs we consider performance, one key point is that the other commercial models we tested use Honda’s GXV160 engine and Snapper uses a 190cc Briggs & Stratton professional series engine. You can find those details in our gas mower shootout. We use a variety of tests to come to our conclusions and you’re welcome to take a look behind the curtain. Residential Gas Lawn Mower Ranking: 3rd place
With a price that can save you $500 or more over high-end models, it’s a mower well worth your consideration. Its mechanical drive system seems antiquated, but it’s also easy to maintain and repair. It has the cutting power to handle all but neglectful conditions and has a solid build. The CRP218520 Snapper Commercial lawn mower offers an excellent value in the commercial gas sector.
