It’s BSYPPG and no that’s not Chinese or Hungarian it’s the Briggs and Stratton Yard Power Products Group.

I am sure that BSYPPG will become the biggest name in power equipment in the future but for now Snapper is positioned among the ranks of such brands as Murray, Generac, Giant Vac, Troybilt, Ferris, and Simplicity to name a few.

So with a line up as powerful as this it’s no wonder we don’t hear much from Snapper anymore. Other manufacturers are a little concerned about their primary engine supplier being in direct competition with them in the market place but I am confident that BSYPPG will prevail.

Perhaps the Smithsonian will preserve a few of those good old Snapper Riders so we can remember when they were on top.

Blount International Inc. is recalling replacement blades for Snapper Riding Lawnmowers.

When the lawnmower is operated, the replacement blade can crack and pieces can break away, posing a serious laceration hazard to consumers and bystanders.

It’s a nationwide recall on all Oregon® and Silver Streak® replacement blades sold from November 2002 until August 2006.

The prices range from $16.00 to $28.00 for the replacement blade and I think you can get original Snapper made blade for around $36.00.

Sounds like a good savings but I doubt the fake blade last as long with pieces flying all over the place.

I thought it was a bit sad that a company that size was unable to rank for their name but I guess Snapper is a competitive keyword.

In keeping with Snapper’s apparent wish to remain exclusive their website does not work in FireFox (the second most used web browser) no big deal, I switched to Internet Explorer and continued my search.

I wonder who at the company was unable to see that black text is almost imposable to read on a dark red background, maybe it was the same guy that decided I should have to enter all my personal information in-order to look for a dealer in my area.

Something as simple as clicking on the Home button takes me to a totally different website.

The Internet is the way of the future, every company in the world, that’s serious about their business, has a functional website.

But Snapper never left the 80’s and 90’s.
