Snapper ZTX350 - Professional Zero-turn Riding-on Mower - Side Discharge

Heavy-duty, sturdy and comfortable machine; the Snapper ZTX 350 zero turn riding-on mower is perfect for professional grass cutting in all conditions: whether for large lawns, gardens or fields or even for parks to be maintained and wherever you need to mow grass around trees and flowerbeds with little effort and in total comfort.

The Snapper ZTX 350 Zero Turn Radius Technology (ZTR) allows the machine to move with extreme agility. The manoeuvrability drastically reduces the driving manoeuvres around obstacles and guarantees an exceptional lawn mowing, even in the most hard-to-reach areas. This reduces the manual trimming operations ensuring the highest productivity in the shortest time.

The two-lever steering system allows a precise control of the machine while quickly changing its position. Its cutting efficiency, together with the easy-to-use front pivoting wheels, allows you to easily turn the machine without the risk of damaging the lawn or creating furrows.

The riding-on mower is provided with a sturdy FAB cutting deck, designed for high and thick grass. It is equipped with 3 blades, ensuring a 132 cm cutting width, and it is operated by electromagnetic mechanism.

It is provided with a powerful 17 Hp Briggs&Stratton 4-stroke engine and independent hydrostatic transmission on the rear-drive wheels.

The Snapper ZTX 350 riding-on mower is a Zero Turn Radius machinery (ZRT). This system uses two independent hydrostatic transmissions on the rear drive wheels allowing them to rotate with a zero turning radius.

The front wheels, on the other hand, are 360 degrees pivoting wheels.

This steering system, consisting of rear drive wheels and front pivoting wheels, makes the ZTX 350 riding-on mower an extremely manoeuvrable machine.

This riding-on mower is renowned for the ease of use and great comfort for the Operator as it can easily work around trees, flowerbeds, bushes, small-sized lawns and narrow spaces.
However, its efficiency is fully expressed to mow large lawns in the shortest possible time.

The two-lever steering system allows a precise control of the machine while quickly changing its position.

The high manoeuvrability of a zero turn radius riding-on mower is one of its strengths compared to traditional riding-on mowers.

HYDRO-GEAR HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION: the two independent transmissions make possible the zero turning radius ensuring easy driving and comfort of use.

The Snapper ZTX 350 riding-on mower is powered by a heavy-duty original Briggs&Stratton twin-cylinder engine belonging to the new Intek 8270 V-Twin twin-cylinder series. Compared to the 7 series, this engine features a higher cubic capacity, more Hp and, above all, it has been specifically designed to ensure long durability over time.

Features:

4-stroke "OHV” petrol engine of the latest generation, AVS anti-vibration system and an electric start system.

Focus on the air filter

Nowadays, the great majority of agricultural and gardening equipment available on the market are fitted with engines with unknown brands or motors Made in China.

Compared to the traditional single-cylinder engines on the 95% of the riding-on mowers, it is certainly much more expensive, but ensures many advantages:

• Long life and reliability
• Low vibrations
• More silent
• Low fuel consumption
• Lower engine oil consumption
• Regular torque

Nominal power: 27 Hp
The correct term would be "Commercial” Power, meaning the standard definition used until a few years ago by all well-known engine manufacturers.

* This technical feature is the one indicated in the main sales channels, even if it is higher than the real power of the engine.

Rated power: 16 Hp (at 2400 rpm)
It refers to the real power of the engine. This is the power indicated as official in the manual or in the technical data of the engine manufacturer.

* This technical feature may vary from a an engine model to another according to the rotation speed provided by the manufacturer.

DRIVING CONTROLS:

The user-friendly control levers make this riding-on mower very easy to drive. This machine is equipped with a two-lever selector which allows setting all the functions of the machine depending on the levers position:

• Straight ahead forward
• Right side forward
• Left side forward
• Reverse speed
• Right curve reverse speed
• Left curve reverse speed
• Parking brake (opened levers outside)
• Neutral speed

It is necessary to proceed with the adjustments only once started the engine.

The forward speed and all the other modes can be adjusted by means of the throttle regulator on the dashboard. This mode ensures a high versatility of use, allowing you to adjust the speed depending on the features of the lawn (e.g. trees or other obstacles on the lawn)

1- SIDE DISCHARGE: this is the most traditional cutting system which allows cutting the grass without collecting it into the grass collector. For those who have to mow large-sized areas without needing to collect grass, for who doesn’t cut grass too often and has to cut over-grown grass for which the mulching or the grass collection system are no longer efficient.

2- MULCHING(optional): this grass mowing system allows crushing grass clippings and dropping them on the ground. The resulting grass particles are so small, they will be barely noticeable on the lawn. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing any effort and shortening the time-saving). Moreover, grass clippings will break down into nutrients and water for the lawn (grass is 80% water) and will thus ensure a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, to ensure the greatest mulching results, the lawn should be irrigated and the grass needs cutting at least once a week.

Simply mount the blades and the deflector in the proper housings to operate with this cutting system.

The Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transmission is a solution that has revolutionized the way power is transmitted in many areas.

With its ability to convert mechanical energy to hydraulic energy and vice versa, it offers precise and continuous speed and torque control.

This feature makes it ideal for applications that require delicate manoeuvring and frequent speed changes, such as riding-on mowers, agricultural and industrial machinery.

Additionally, the lack of traditional gear shifting and smooth operation make it highly valued for operations in confined spaces and for reducing operator fatigue.

The versatility of the Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transmission is further emphasized by the ability to adapt it to different types of engines and applications, thanks to the wide range of models and configurations available.

Sturdy FBA 3-blade cutting deck: it is a sturdy, high profile cutting deck thought to mow high and thick grass. 132 cm real cutting width.

Adjustable cutting height by means of a special rack and pinion and intuitive selection mode through a pin from 38 mm to 110 mm.

The cutting deck is equipped with a pair of anti-scalp wheels.

It is equipped with washing joint.

The mowing blades of the riding-on mower can be set through the controls on the dashboard (yellow button): then the machine is equipped with an electromagnetic cutting blades ignition.

The electromagnetic clutch allows a gradual engagement of the blades without any tearing.

Snapper ZTX 350 Zero Turn riding-on mower additional features:

• Can holder compartment
• Large-sized tyres: they ensure higher care of the lawn and great adherence to the ground and traction on a riding-on mower.
• Pivoting front tires: they can rotate up to 360 degrees.
• Large-sized highly-comfortable seat with armrests. It can be adjusted according to the Operator’s needs and lies on large springs to absorb eventual bumps due to an uneven terrain.
• Ergonomic rubber control levers

- Check that there are all the instructions manuals
- Connect the battery and start the engine (run for a few minutes for stable operation)
- Check engine speed calibration
- Blade engagement
- Check the safety devices and parking brake
- Disconnect the battery and grounding
