Swisher Trimmer,
August 23, 2008
By oldwomanfrom Godley TX
"I really Like my swisher trimmer! It is better by far than any hand held trimmer I have ever had. I have a giant ragweed problem and this is the Only thing besides hand cutting that has ever worked. Hand held models are too light weight and a riding lawn mower gets the belts eaten up by the weed stalks. The string is easy to change also. The only problem I have is starting the trimmer. If I am alone, I have to disengage the safety bar by tying it up because I need two hands to pull the rope. A fifty year old woman can operate the thing, but I do not have the strength to pull the starting rope with one hand. Other than that, it starts every time with little maintaining or care. Maybe future models will have an electric start!"

Edger/Trimmer,
April 21, 2008
By MomLufrom Riverside, CA
"I purchased a Swisher edger trimmer a few years ago from Northern Tool. It is the ideal tool to trim around our 165' X 365' (over an acre ) property. Since I have a riding mower, I was able to use my Swisher trimmer for all the areas where I had formerly used a power push mower. It got into areas not accessable to the regular mower. Unfortunately, someone else liked it too and I relinquished it to my daughter who now does most of the heavy mowing and trimming. I would recommend a Swisher trimmer to anyone, whatever the size of their mowing area."

bad buy,
January 21, 2008
By yardfrom Ga.
"I bought this trimmer hoping not to carry a hand held one. This machine works find on smooth ground. If your wheels go in a small hole you have a bad gap in your yard. The machine needs a neutral position so it can be cranked without the trimmer engaged. Hard to pull. I made a bad buy. Thanks jwh"

Swisher Edger/Trimmer,
October 15, 2007
By DianeCfrom Columbus, Montana
"Machine is great but the newer wheels are not. Kelly is working with cust. svc. (incredibly fantastic response by the way!) to remedy the problem. Had a fire rip thru here on Aug. 14th & lost almost all timber on west, plus grass, and have not had time to give the 2nd set of wheels a workout. The machine itself is really great and we feel it will definitely give the higher priced DR Trimmers a run for their money! Give Customer Service & Engineering a huge pat on the back for their wonderful work. Love dealing with your company."

ST65022DXQ Swisher Edger/Trimmer,
August 19, 2007
By JRTexasfrom East Texas
"Negative: The trimmer is always in gear which means you have to overcome the inertia of the pulleys and string head when starting the engine. My older machine (not Swisher) had a lever which would allow the engine to be started in neutral and than the head could be engaged by the lever. This was an attractive feature becasue it would allow you to disengage the head without stopping the engine. Positive: The offset of the trimmer head initially was seen as an oddball feature but proved to be the machine's most significant asset. With this offset it is easy to trim under the fence line in short order. Replacing of the trim line was the only thing preventing continuous mowing. You can extend the life of the line by not letting it hit the fence up rights. Jury is still out on the 90 degree head rotation for edging. Experience so far is that the line has to be replaced to frequently. Conclusion: For my application for trimming under lengthy fence line, the product is a dream but would be better if the head could be disengaged without stopping the engine. JR Texas"

"I purchased this item several months ago. We live on a farm and have a lot of yard work to keep everything under control. I like the fact that I can not only weedeat everything, but I can also edge around my sidewalks. I t definitly has made my job easier, especially since I have a bad back. My edger trimmer is so easy now I can do some of the yard work and not leave it all to my husband"
