Hello Snapper fans! :smile:

Did the Bag-N-Wagon have a limited distribution before it was discontinued? I've been using Snappers for about 13 years and have never seen one in person, only in brochures. I have a large flat area where one would be useful, but I'd mainly just like to have one in my collection as a novelty really. I approached the only two dealers in my area and only one of them remembered selling one in the mid 90's. He did say that they were extremely expensive when they were new, around $900.

The dealer also mentioned that the mowers at that time were underpowered when it came to blowing the grass up the tube, even with the wings attached to the blade. The Snapper I own now is 17.5 hp so I think it would be plenty powerful enough to work with one.

Thanks,
Matthew :smile:

Good luck! I have several acres ,6 snapper mowers and I would love to have one for fall cleanup. I've been looking for over 4 years. Only seen two for sale on Craigslist that were close enough to go get. Missed one by a few minutes the guy told me. The other was almost rotted through on the bottom and missing parts. He wanted $400 firm, so I passed. Even though it was in such bad shape, I kinda kick myself now for not buying it.
