Needs Better Tires
By Dale T. 
Maine
Purchased 06/07/2022 | 
Review Posted 07/22/2023 
I bought this to mow a 15 acre field that hadn't been mowed in several years. It did a decent job on red bush , a type of willow, and thorn plumb bush.
However, by the start of work on day 3 ( a week apart from days 1&2 ) Both tires had sustained multiple punctures. I was able to finish the field with frequent refills.
Over the winter I bought replacement Solid tire assemblies (universal fit so the shaft had to be bushed down came with the bushings. By the end of day 2 this year the plastic bushings had disintegrated. Back to the drawing board. Shopping now for a laminated bush hog type assembly with the correct shaft size and width (and height).

Review Posted 11/26/2022 
Very hardy machine. We have used it for over 1 year on 40 Acre farm (very rough). Gone over small trees, gullies, hit all sorts of stuff and it keeps going. Did finally break a wheel bearing, but given the amount of rough going and hard use, I'm OK with that. Would recommend it highly.

review 3 image 1
I’m pulling this beast with a UFORCE 1000 side by side. Clearing 15 acres of 4-5 ft weeds, and woody brush. It is shedding it all. Doesn’t like the hidden termite piles though.

I’ve been running it daily for 4-6 hours for the past 5 days. No issues.

The only complaint I have is the control line. It’s too short. I have no place to mount it too since the line is short. If I mount it to the back it’ll pull loose when I make a sharp turn. So it just sits in the back. Hope it doesn’t fall out.

Other than that I’m pleased with this workhorse… this far

Review Posted 09/30/2022 
This mower worked well to cut down some pretty serious grass and tall heavy weeds.
It handled the work well. The only downside is the tires could be more durable.

I've had it for a week but with the very dry weather I held off for some moisture. Today was the day. First of all, I was very impressed with the crate it was shipped in. Everything stayed in place and arrived in perfect condition. On assembly I realized this was really good quality and well designed. After checking oil level and all I gassed it up and it started on second pull, and it ran perfect. So, today I put about 2 hrs on it cutting the small field on one side and a portion of the 1 and 1/2 acre on the other. Things a beast. Almost shoulder high semi wet thick grass and it hardly changed pitch. More rain tonight so looking forward to finishing field off tomorrow. I will include a pic on belt engage lever setup, and the only other thing that was not in manual but makes sense to me to do is to engage belt / blades at 1/3 to 1/2 half throttle then open er up and let rip. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase and highly recommend! Great job Swisher, and thank you Mowers Direct!

Swisher Rough Cut :)

Just bought this rough cut to clear out many areas on my property that was overgrown with tall brush and thorn bushes, this machine is a work horse and does the job. It did stop on me a few times but that was due to uneven ground and can happen.
So far after two weeks of using this, it’s worth the money and is very well made. It has some bruises from some rocks I hit but it’s not supposed to look nice lol…
I used the off set and that helps and is easy to adjust while on the hitch. The unit has a leveling adjustment which is great.
I’m using my Gator 835 UTV but can be done with an ATV.
I haven’t checked the blades yet but so far so good, delivery was excellent and uncrating is not that difficult.
Started up on the first pull and the mount for the blade engagement is workable for different ATV/UTVs to mount.
Enjoy!!!

Excellent Brushhog For Kawasaki Mule 4x4

Review Posted 01/18/2022 
Works better than expected. We have very rough terrain with brush, small trees, big holes, gullies. NO Problem! We put the machine to its paces, over three weeks. Starts on one pull, efficient on gas, and tough as nails. We highly recommend this machine.

Perfect For My Needs
By John O. 
Manhattan, Kansas
Purchased 01/13/2021 | 
Review Posted 02/05/2021 
I could not be more pleased with it. I pulled it through 10' tall weeds and sunflowers and was amazed. The area had been flooded and contained some logs approximately 6" inches diameter, the machine bounces right over without the blades ever hitting the logs. Perfect for the needs that I have.

It was in cold weather, and I do wish that I had purchased the electric start model.
