Good Machine...minor flaws,
September 8, 2009
By HarryAtHome
from Florida
"Nice mower...cuts through 8 ft high weeds and small trees quiet nicely. Easy to start and run.
Would rate it a very good value for the money.
Would rate it a very good value for the money.
The worst problem is the drive engage lever. You must wear gloves to use it. The spring tension is high and the lever has a sharp edge that will cut into your hand. Not a good design.
And when will Swisher fix the hand grips? They fall off even before you run the machine. You will need to glue them on.
Other reviews have noted a flaw with the safety switch wiring but so far not an issue with mine. They also note that when you assemble the handle bar to use a thread locker compound to keep the bolts from falling off."

Good value,
March 16, 2009
By nautibob
from Naples Florida
"Well made machine, cuts anything in it's path and It is simple to operate. I was a little concerned that the 11.5 horsepower engine would be hard to pull start without an electric starter but it starts easily and saves the bother and extra weight of a battery and starter. I have used it to clear a few acres and, in my situation, found it a little difficult to steer because it's angled front sideplates would dig into the earth and grab surface roots and vines. I am planning to add substantial front wheels to the sideplates to correct this condition without raising the mowing deck. I am well satisfied with my purchase especially after comparing it to other very similar machines with more cumbersome controls and a much higher pricetag."

Great Mower,
March 16, 2009
By Loran
from California
"This self propelled walk behind mower is a great product. It is powerful, and is easy to operate. It will cut though the toughest of brush, including the large sagebrush on our place, as well as sapling trees. I would recommend this to anyone!"

Swisher Self-Propelled Walk-Behind Mower,
April 10, 2008
By PSTD96
from Lothian, MD
"After using this product for one season I have found this product to be excellent for my purpose. My lot is wooded on three sides making it difficult to cut the borders with a standard lawn tractor because of lots of undergrowth and weeds and the many small branches that liter the lot borders after each winter. With this mower I simply plow right through the growth in third gear with no hesitation. Initially the vinyl on the handle bars would come off but I solved this by simply coating with plasticote which makes them quite sturdy. I also attached two small lawn mower wheel to the front of the deck just to be able to move easily the mower across the yard without making trenches. Following these changes the mower performs well cutting weeds and any growth that stands in its path without hesitation. The 11.5 hp engine is well suited for this size mower. I recommend this product based on its performance and price."

Wish I would have bought a pull-behind,
January 21, 2008
By JohnnyIce211
from Cloquet, MN
"This mower is great for brushing trails that are too narrow for a pull-behind brush mower and if you only want walking width trails. I'm 6'5" tall and the short handles force me to walk hunched over and my back tires out quickly. Swisher doesn't have a souce for extentions or longer cables to extend them myself. It is a powerful mower and cuts thick brush, grinding it up to mulch. Also the limited slip drive makes it hard when going over small logs or arm size deadfalls and you have to muscle it over or pick it up hitting it exactly straight on."

Right for the price,
November 27, 2006
By Gageby
from Hedgesville, WV
"I have the 10HP model from Swisher. It works good. It pushes over most small brush. The belt is a little hard to adjust correctly and still have a working reverse safety. I have loaned this to several family and friends and they all had success."
