Verdict: Snapper 265X vs Snapper 304R

The Snapper 265X and the Snapper 304R are both lawn tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Snapper 265X leads on rated power with 5 hp against 4 hp. Snapper 265X is the lighter machine (106 kg vs 140 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
