Food plots, January 21, 2008
By hunter308 from Atlanta Georgia

"I purchased this swisher mower about a year ago and I have used it for my yard and for preparing food plots on my hunting property. It is great. I can cut about 3 acres an hour or more. I am very impressed with the ease that it will go though high grass and weeds. I have cut areas that have never been accessed before with no problem at all. I have cut some areas that were 3 foot high. You will have to go over it twice at that height though. But you cannot do that with any other mower."

Good quality, but less than ideal mower, October 19, 2009
By SVTCOBRA from Battle Creek, MI

"I have operated the mower for one summer and had some good and bad experiences with it. The good part about this mower is that you can drive fast and it will not bog down unless you are in some really tall grass. I use mine with an ATV and you can't really turn that sharp when compared to your coventional riding lawn mower, but with the rear discharge I don't have to follow the same path to avoid cutting the grass twice.. It would work better if you pull this behind a regular riding lawn mower if you have a huge lawn. I would avoid using this type of lawn mower if you have a lot of trees in your yard, as it takes quite a bit of time to drive around these when used with an ATV.
Two reasons that I did not give it 4 or 5 stars is that unless you have a very smooth lawn, this machine will bounce. I tried letting the air out of the tires, which helped out some but not completely. I plan to buy some sand bags as weights to reduce the bouncing.
The other reason that I do not give it a higher rating is because the rear discharge tends to leave a line of grass behind the mower because it is not evenly dispersed.
I plan to keep the mower as it runs good and allows me to cut about 2 acres of grass in about 2 hours with a lawn that has plenty of trees and other obstacles to get in the way. Also, the Briggs and Stratton engine uses less than one gallon of gas for two hours of running."

"This mower eats belts, bearings went, and uses lots of gas. Poor quality
There are many things that could be done to it to make it a better machine."

Swisher, November 22, 2008
By akapaulus from Central California

"Have 2.5 acres and this thing cuts through the worst of it. I use it mainly to cut a walking trail around the perimeter of the property, but have used it to mow the whole pasture - about 1.5 acres. The side wheels/rollers work great to push you around trees and fence posts when you get too close. Got mine with the automatic start. Not sure why anyone would try to pull start."

Trailmower 44, August 11, 2008
By RJTJR from Central Illinois

"The reviews section helped me select this model, and I would say they are very accurate. I give it a 5 star because of the price, would back off to a 4 if it was not such a good value...mainly due to perceived durability issues.
Strengths are easy starting, easy towing, and a design that really cuts, even in the tall stuff. I have used my unit twice now (I'd guess about 6-7 hours total), and am cutting 24 inch grass and weeds mainly, though it also cuts the occasional half inch sapling without problem. Sometimes you have to slow a little to let the engine catch up, but the rear discharge makes things possible a side discharge would not. I thought the fuel use was reasonable, so did not find it as thirsty as some others commented. It ran easily 45 minutes on a tank.

For weaknesses, there are a few so far....As others noted, the metal brackets that create the off-set capability are a little too light duty, and I already note that the holes are "expanding" from the connector pins. Also, things do rattle loose on the unit, and you need to check all nuts/bolts regularly. My first use I broke the belt because a guide bolt rattled off. Ease your new belt in too, I burned mine first use. The aftermarket belt I bought as a replacement seemed much more durable, and my second use was completely without issue. The access to the belts is good, though you need to keep a socket with you as it requires removing 4 bolts.

I pulled mine with a UTV, no problems, and a lawn tractor also with no issue. A little hard to hear both mowers by the way, so I would not cut real tall stuff with two mowers going at once. You can't back the unit up, but turning is crisp if you have a short radius on your pull vehicle.

One thing to note, the unit is wider than you'd expect with the large outside mounted wheels. I have a 5 ft trailer, that narrows a few inches on each side due to a drop ramp. It does not roll between the sides.

All in all glad I have it, and would recommend it."

Swisher Sweet, August 11, 2008
By Swampmaster from Cross City, Florida

"This mower is awesome! I use it on 115 acres most of which is trails for my ATV. Also works well on lawn.Cuts better than John Deere lawn tractor. Leaves yard looking professionally manicured. Much faster cutting trails than my Ford or International tractors and easier to maneuver. Only drawback I can find is the size of fuel tank. Wish it was larger and will probably change it using good all redneck ingenuity eventually. All in all very good product for the price. Would recommend to anyone with large yard or hunting property."

Swisher 44" trailmower, August 11, 2008
By moabmike from Dubuque, Ia

"I probably should have bought a more heavy duty model, This mower seems to use cheap parts, It has eaten 5 belts so far and small parts have vibrated loose, They call it a trail mower, Unless you have a level , graded trail with no Gopher mounds or sticks steer clear of this mower, Not Happy"
