Gonna retire, wife said I could buy a new mower. I've been riding an older Sears RER for about 12 years and I like that style and it works good for my lawn. I narrowed it down to 2 brands, a Snapper and the new RER from Cub Cadet. Anybody have a review of each? Good or bad? Thanks.

My feeling are you can not go wrong with either one.

As we all know snapper has been making the best rer for years.
And cub cadet is a very well built mower.
If I was to pick one I would go with the cub cadet.
I bought a new cub last year and loved it.

I have about 40 snapper RERs Don't ask why.

Go take them for a spin around the parking lot and get the one that feels good to you.

Since they're nearly equal in your mind, which dealer is closest to you? Who's got the best parts dept.? You know, what sets each one apart? How important is that difference?
I went with Deere because the guy ahead of me was buying tractor parts from the dealer for a tractor made in the early 1960's. Parts are important to me. I don't want to be stuck with a $1200 tiller and no blades or belt (as a for-instance).

I just did a test drive with both, and the winner will be the Cub. The vibrations on the Snapper is amazing, enough to loosen your fillings, and that's without the blade moving.
