I have a chance to buy a hi-wheel snapper 26 mower for $ 300 from a guy at my work. It is a 2002 with a Robin engine. I cannot find many reviews on this model, but I have seen good reviews on the Robin engine. The guy at work is not a handy guy, so he had it serviced by his dealer every year and now he is going with a lawn service and wants to sell. He indicated that he had warranty work done twice: wheel fell off and a slipping disk drive. His dealer did all the work and he has all the receipts. I want this machine because of the size (I have 15,000 sq ft yard and it takes 2 hours with my underpowered 21 inch). Need some opinions if this is worth a $ 300 experiment, or if I should invest in a new more powerful 21 inch in the $500-600 range.
