Mike,
What do you mean? Maybe they did have the mower last year. I just did not see it on the site or in the store.

I was looking for Smitty's Snapper.

Was very interested in the metro 26 until I found out the price. I was told it would cost $1349 and it's a special order item as of now. They were supposed to be in stock early spring but they are not. I was disappointed. I really like the high-wheel snapper 26 inch. The Exmark is nice and I was hoping it was around $800.00. Any body else get a better price? Thanks All.
