NEW SNAPPER PRO CUTTING SYSTEM PROMOTES OUTSTANDING QUALITY OF CUT (October 29, 2009)

For Immediate Release

Munnsville, NY (October 29, 2009) - The innovative iCD™ Cutting System found on select Snapper Pro commercial mowers allows better airflow discharge and a superior quality of cut. The slope nose of the deck forces the blades of grass forward and allows them a longer period of time to rise in the chamber before the blades make contact. Features of the iCD™ Cutting System include:

• Newly designed 0.25” thick Marbain steel blades generate greater lift for a precision cut.
• The slope nose has a reinforced leading edge which provides protection where the deck needs it most and reduces front-end blowout.
• Models feature industry exclusive Hercules® cast-iron and cast-aluminum greaseable spindles.
• Baffle chamber design increases airflow and reduces clumping.
• Extra wide chute opening for greater dispersal of grass.
• Center point is offset to allow for supreme cutting and excellent discharge.
• Striping kit is standard on all iCD™ decks.
