Snapper and Walmart

I see what you're saying.

Personally, I don't like the little machine and I'd to see 'em go. They seem to be a little bit of pain to work on. I'd like to see Sears selling the Ariens ZTR's again. Those were a much better machine IMO.

Dennisfly,
Are you folks aware that Jim Wier was a Senior V.P. with Briggs &Stratton before becoming CEO of Simplicity and Snapper? Probably moved there as a result of their buying the two companies. He was well aware of how Walmart can strangle a supplier into bankruptcy if the supplier puts too many of its eggs in the Walmart basket.
