Homeowners maintaining substantial areas of lawn and rough should take a look at at this fast-working and versatile three-in-one garden-tractor from top US manufacturers Snapper!

At its heart is a 724cc Briggs & Stratton Intek 8270 Professional Series motor with a V-Twin cylinder-arrangement for smooth-running, high-torque performance; and B & S’s overhead-valve (OHV) technology for reduced carbon-emissions and a noticeable cut in fuel-costs.

An integrated five-stage cyclonic air-cleaner and full-pressure lubrication ensure unfailing long-term reliability; while a mechanical governor works to supply more useable power when demanding loads are encountered.

The Snapper RPX310’s three-in-one design means you can elect to either collect, mulch or rear-discharge* clippings, thereby enabling you to manage pretty much any grass-conditions (a seven-stage height-of-cut range contributes further to versatility).

It blends a high-backed, armrest-equipped seat with an anti-vibration system and cruise-control for a supremely comfortable drive; and it boasts an all-steel frame and a cast-iron front axle that confer rugged durability.

Thanks to its small 36cm turning-circle and infinitely-variable hydrostatic drive, the Snapper RPX310 Garden Tractor offers superb manoeuvrability, and will therefore prove a great buy for gardens where there are numerous obstacles to mow around.

Long-lasting LED headlights facilitate safe operation in murky, low-light conditions; while a dashboard display provides useful information on tractor-status.

So as to save you time at the compost-heap, Snapper have equipped the RPX310 with convenient from-the-seat grassbag dumping.

Also featured are deck-mounted gauge-wheels and wide-profile drive-tyres for turf-protection.

A 105cm cutting-width and 350-litre grass-collector make this model suitable for use over areas up to 10,000m2.
