Snapper SPX107 - Riding-on mower - Briggs&Stratton 656cc - Side discharge

The Snapper SPX107 riding mower is a sturdy, high-performance machine designed to offer precision and comfort in lawn care.

Equipped with a Briggs & Stratton 7160 EXi OHV V-Twin engine, with 656cc and 16hp nominal power, it delivers constant and smooth power, ideal for large surfaces and prolonged operations.

The hydrostatic transmission provides continuous speed control via foot control, eliminating the need for manual gear changes and simplifying operations on slopes. In addition, cutting is performed by a 107 cm double-blade cutting deck with electromagnetic engagement, for a clean cut even on thick grass. The reverse cutting function allows for agile manoeuvring without having to stop work or shut off the blades.

Its ability to adjust the cutting deck to 6 different positions, from 30 to 90 mm, ensures optimal results on various types of surfaces.

The Snapper SPX107 riding-on mower also stands out for its side discharge, which promotes even distribution of material and reduces the risk of accumulation under the bodywork. The compact and durable structure maintains a functional and modern profile, designed to offer stability when working on uneven surfaces. The ergonomic handles and spacious driving position ensure comfortable driving even during long working sessions.

To further enhance its functionality, the Snapper SPX107 is equipped with a towing hook, expanding its versatility and allowing the use of additional accessories for garden care. This feature makes it not only an efficient riding-on mower but also a multifunctional tool for all your green maintenance needs.

Distinctive features include:

• Briggs & Stratton 7160 EXi OHV V-Twin engine: two cylinders for constant power; reduces vibrations even under high loads.
• 107 cm double blade cutting deck: large surface area for cutting large areas in fewer passes; electromagnetic blade engagement for easy and safe activation.
• Hydrostatic transmission: allows fine speed control with a pedal; avoids manual gear changes and ensures smooth operation on uphill and downhill slopes.
• Reverse cutting function: activates the blades even when reversing; improves manoeuvring in tight spaces without stopping.
• Side discharge: distributes grass clippings along the working path; prevents accumulation under the riding-on mower and facilitates maintenance.

The Briggs & Stratton 7160 EXi Series OHV V-Twin engine is an ideal solution for those looking for high performance and low maintenance.

Designed with OHV (overhead valve) technology and featuring a twin-cylinder V-Twin architecture, this engine ensures efficient combustion, longer life and significantly reduced vibrations, even under load.

Sturdy, reliable and easy to handle, this engine combines cutting-edge technology with attention to detail.

Full forced lubrication and oil filter keep the engine clean for longer life. It delivers pressurised oil to critical engine components for maximum lubrication and reduced wear.

The main features are:

Nominal power: 16 HP
The most correct term would be "Commercial" power, meaning the classic standard definition of power officially used until a few years ago by all the most well-known engine manufacturers.

* This figure is still the most widely used and advertised in the main commercial sales channels, even though it is higher than the actual power.

Actual Power: 11.66 HP (at 2700 rpm)
This corresponds to the real power expressed at the motor shaft. It is the figure indicated as official in the manual or in the technical data provided by the motor manufacturer.

* This figure may vary for the same engine model, depending on the rotation speed that the equipment manufacturer has decided to apply to the engine.

ATTENTION!

The engine is SUPPLIED WITHOUT OIL.
Read the instruction manual carefully before starting it.

1 - SIDE DISCHARGE (standard): the most traditional system, the riding-on mower cuts and discharges the grass sideways onto the ground.

Simply fit the side deflector and tighten the two screws provided.

Recommended system for: large areas of land, for those who do not need to collect grass, for those who do not mow frequently and find themselves having to cut excessively long grass, for which the collection or mulching system is no longer effective.

2 - MULCHING (accessory not included, sold separately):

cutting system that shreds grass clippings and leaves them on the lawn, pulverising them so small that they look almost like they have been collected. This eliminates the problem of disposal (reducing effort and drastically shortening the time required for mowing) and, as it decomposes, it will subsequently be transformed into nutrients for the lawn itself and into water (grass is 80% water), thus ensuring a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, in order to ensure the absolute efficiency of the system, the lawn must still be watered, and the grass clippings mowed very often. Conversion from one system to the other is very easy.

Conversion: simply insert the mulching plug and tighten with the appropriate screw

Thanks to the new Tuff Torq K46 2-pedal hydrostatic transmission, driving the riding-on mower is easy and intuitive. Everything can be controlled simply with your right foot on the pedal.

It can reach speeds of up to 9 km/h and 7 km/h in reverse

Sturdy gears make the gearbox difficult to break. The hydrostatic transmission is by its nature much more modern and functional (albeit more expensive) than the traditional manual gearbox. The latter requires the operator to stop, change gear (because all riding-on mowers with manual or mechanical transmission require the gear to be changed when stationary), release the clutch and restart at the desired speed whenever the speed needs to be changed. Of course, if the speed needs to be changed several times (for example, in gardens with trees, pots or any other kind of obstacle), the traditional gearbox would be decidedly impractical. The hydrostatic transmission, on the other hand, allows for immediate speed changes without ever stopping, in the most practical way possible, totally automatically, simply by varying the pressure on the drive pedal.

The stamped steel deck is equipped with 2 blades that create a powerful airflow necessary to collect grass in all conditions.
The asymmetrical deck has optimal cutting overlap, eliminating the need to keep the blades synchronised.

Cutting deck width 107 cm.

Riding-on mower equipped with reverse cutting

The riding-on mower deck can be tilted: it easily adapts to uneven ground (provided it is not excessively rough).

The blades are engaged electromagnetically and controlled by the red button to the right of the steering wheel. This system avoids manual engagement via the classic lever found on many types of riding-on mowers and works thanks to an electromagnetic clutch that allows the blades to be engaged quickly and easily

The cutting deck height is adjusted using a lever.

There are 6 cutting positions available, which can be varied from a maximum of 90 mm to a minimum of 30 mm.

The controls are very simple and allow for optimal management of the riding-on mower: accelerator lever, parking brake, pedal brake, blade engagement switch and engine ignition lock and lights

For maximum safety, there is also a reverse cutting switch; if not activated, the riding-on mower will shut down.
