Snapper, Inc. was a United States company, formerly based in McDonough, Georgia, that manufactured residential and professional lawn-care and snow-removal equipment. Snapper was known for its high-quality red 'rear-engine' riding lawnmowers that are capable of standing on-end for storage or repairs, and for its invention of the first self-propelled rotary lawn mower.
Best codec for avi. Best Answer: For playing most avi contained movies (particularly from the torrent world) the K-Lite Codec pack will be ideal. It's designed exactly for that and is free. I'd recommend getting the lite version unless you really need all the specialist codecs (it'll just clog up your PC and potentially cause some conflicts). Best Codec for iOS. For the best video codec on your Apple devices, you are recommended to choose the video format codec H.264 and MOV container. The best framerate is 29.97fps (NTSC) and you can enter as 30,000/1,001 if you're using FFMPEG. The audio should use the AAC codec with a bitrate of 160kbps. Best codec for exporting in AVI format. I've tried the following codecs: DivX Mpeg-4 Fast Motion DivX Mpeg-4 Low Motion Xvid Mpeg-4 When I try to use the Xvid codec, a new window with 'XVid status' comes up and then Premiere freezes. With the DivX codecs, the video quality is bad and the picture goes all 'fuzzy', especially during transitions.

History[edit]
Can you tell me approximately how old my snapper mower is. Model: 303777, Type: 0418-01, Code: 94092011 - Answered by a verified Technician We use cookies.
The company began in 1894 as Southern Saw Works. Later, in the 1940s, as the McDonough Power Company, it was acquired by William Raymond Smith, who changed the company's direction when the lumber industry declined. Smith recognized a need for lawn mowers and patented a mowing blade.[1] With this, he created the 'Snappin' Turtle,' named so for the way it snapped the grass and for its turtle figurine on the top front of the first model. While mostly known for their lawnmowers, Snapper also built tillers and snow blowers.
Brought under the umbrella of Fuqua Industries in 1967, sales grew from $10 million in 1967 to $260 million in 1987.
Producing an assortment of lawn-care tools, Snapper, Inc. had facilities in McDonough, Georgia, Beatrice, Nebraska, and Fort Worth, Texas.
In 1991, Snapper announced the closing of the Fort Worth, Texas and Beatrice, Nebraska factories. The McDonough, Georgia factory was expanded to absorb the production. The closings were not due to financial problems but Fuqua President Lawrence Klamon said 'most of the production from Fort Worth was going east of (the) Mississippi anyway'.
In 2002, Snapper was acquired by Simplicity Manufacturing,[2] which was subsequently acquired by Briggs & Stratton in 2004.
The Snapper name has subsequently been added to products such as weed trimmers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, among others.
In 2014 Briggs and Stratton announced the plan to close the McDonough, Georgia factory moving production to Briggs & Strattons's Wauwatosa, Wisconsin factory. A spokesperson from Briggs & Stratton said it made sense to fold the Georgia plant's Snapper operations into the Wauwatosa factory near the company's headquarters, where engineering, product research and other departments support manufacturing. The Georgia factory was underutilized and some of its products were eliminated.
