Introducing the new Snapper NXT mower line. Snapper asked thousands of everyday users what they were looking for and needed in a lawn mower. Snapper used those answers and suggestions to develop the blueprint for the NXT mower line.
The Lawnmower You Designed
Snapper started with a blank sheet of paper and a singular goal: To create new mowers that provide our best mowing experience ever.
To get there, Snapper asked you and thousands of other homeowners what you liked and didn’t like about your mowers. In collaboration with BMW Group DesignWorks U.S.A., Snapper conducted extensive and sophisticated consumer research that can be reduced to this question: Describe the ultimate lawnmower?
From The Snapper Research Center to Your Backyard
After countless hours of interviews and observations, Snapper engineers and designers spent three years incorporating what we learned from you into dozens of prototype mowers. We tested and re-tested them and then engineered key findings into the final product.
The results are nothing short of groundbreaking. These units start with the user and end with the user. Thanks to your input, every feature, every dimension and every control has been nuanced from the operator’s point of view.
Beginning with their revolutionary push button starting system, the Snapper NXT redefines the grass cutting experience. Never before has a lawn mower been so responsive, so intelligent, so comfortable and so powerful. The Snapper NXT is your lawn mower and the next generation of Snapper.
Snapper NXT Lawn Tractors
The Snapper NXT riding mower delivers innovation that starts with the push of a button. From sleek, automotive-inspired styling to innovative control, display and cutting systems, the Snapper NXT riding mower makes your mowing experience second-to-none.
The Snapper NXT lawn tractor brings it all together and puts you on the cutting edge. It’s our easiest starting, best cutting tractor ever — for the ultimate mowing experience.
Snapper NXT Walk Behind Mower
The Snapper NXT 22″ rear wheel drive walk-behind mower shares the same consumer-driven DNA as the NXT riding mower. From the push button starting system to the REACT™ Drive System, Professional Series™ engine, the NXT walk-behind has significant advantages over a traditional push mower. It delivers a seamless mowing experience second to none.
Don’t settle for a conventional push mower. The Snapper NXT walk-behind mower’s revolutionary new cutting system and redesigned, aerodynamic deck provide our most precise, most even cut ever — each time you mow.

Our thoughts and condolences goes out to the families.
Using a lawn aerator is a pretty simple and quick way to get your lawn and root system healthier.
Now you are asking yourself, “do i have to buy a lawn aerator”, or “how much does it cost to have this done?” That is where Aztec Rental comes in, providing you with a cost effective and easy to use machine to make this process as painless as possible.
Renting equipment makes sense for most home owners. For a process that you do once every 1-2 years, purchasing the equipment is out of the question. Thats why every spring and fall we get landscapers and home owners in the store renting lawn aerators daily.
Read below on some tips about lawn aeration. Then come see Aztec Rental for your equipment, a company with the experience and knowledge for over 44 years.

Why Should You Aerate Your Lawn
Lawn aeration is a very important tool in making your lawn healthy. Aeration involves making holes in the lawn either by pushing a rod into it or by “coring”, which is basically extracting a plug of soil. By aerating your lawn you are giving it and the root system many benefits, which include:
When Should You Use A Lawn Aerator
The best time and most recommended time to aerate your lawn is in the spring or fall. If you are going to overseed your lawn, the best time and most beneficial for the lawn is to aerate in the fall. A bonus of fall aeration is it will relieve compaction from heavy use during the summer season. During the fall, roots of grass grow quickly, so the extra space, air and water will aid good root growth before the grass goes dormant or slows growth for the winter. The spring is a good time to aerate to jump-start the lawn renovation from the winter. It allows organic matter and fertilizer you put out to get to root system.
How To Aerate Your Lawn
To get the best results before you use the lawn aerator you want to mow your lawn lower than normal. Also, water it well for two to three days before aerating. You want to have a “moist” lawn when using an aerator, a “hard” (no water) or “sloppy” (to much water) lawn, will prove to give you unsatisfactory results. In these conditions the aerator will not produce proper “cores” or it will make you lawn a mud pit.
Now, after you have prepped your lawn, use the lawn plug aerator to aerate the lawn. You don’t want to leave the clods “intact” when you finish aerating, so go ahead and break them up and them settle back into your lawn. This along with immediately watering your lawn after aerating will help the lawn recover from the stress of aerating.
If a lawn aerator is used properly, you will see an overall healthier lawn, which in turn helps decrease the time you have to spend caring for it.
Who doesn’t want that?
