Saves Me A Ton Of Work
We have a half acre pond that I use this to cut about three strokes around because of the slope. Can cut right into the edge of the water if I want to. I have it hooked up behind my 4 wheeler. Also use it on the dam, and on the backside of the dam I either go straight up and down or circle around and cut going down on the 4 wheeler because I feel like it's too steep for my zero turn mower. It does a great job. Also around the more pasture-like parts I can cut a stroke or two next to the woods where limbs might be overhanging a little without having to drive the under them. Also, our drive in is an old railroad bed 2/10 of a mile with HIGH banks and I cut a stroke or two on the shoulders close to the edges with it because of the degree of tilt, so I am able to keep the 4 wheeler up where its fairly level.
When it arrived I got lift-gate service and delivery was easy. The worst part of assembly was the tongue, and I eventually went with maximum offset to the left. It started easy and I've used it several times now and it starts easy and cuts great. The rope start is fine for a 10.5 horse and the power is plenty for even high grass and weeds. Great investment to help me keep things cleaned up around here.
Only downside I see is the smallish gas tank but has not been a problem for me.
Most of the time I just leave it hooked to the 4 wheeler and pull the whole works up in an open lean-to shed on the back of the barn.

Best Mower For Mowing Ditches And Steep Ditch Banks
I purchased this mower last summer to mow steep ditch banks. It does a fantastic job on them. It works well on steep slopes when pulled by my ATV. The job,when finished, compliments the rest of the yard. It cut the mowing time on the ditch banks from one hour to 15 minutes.
Pros:Price, Durable, I'd Buy It Again, Reliable
Cons:Bad Instructions

At first I was leaning towards a bigger HP in a finish cut. After using this Swisher 44" cut I am quite impressed! It cuts tall weeds, small brush and is easy to use. I pull it behind my ATV. My thumb gets a little tired after mowing for a few hours, but other than that, this mower kicks butt! I love it!
Pros:Price, Durable, Easy To Use, Light Weight

I purchased this item from Mowers Direct last year. I used the deck for an entire season before my review.
first the positive:
1) Works well
2) Easy to use
3) Cheap for what you get
4) Easy to store
5) Despite what you read below, customers service was great!
Negative.
1) Third time I used it the gas tank somehow loosened and flopped around until it fell in front of the deck and, ka-pow, got mowed over. I got a replacement free of charge within a week and used locknut to screw it on. No issues now.
2) Belt was toasted after I mowed up a log the size of my arm. Probably designed to wreck the belt instead of the motor. So new belt and it works fine again.
Note I have abused the heck out of this deck for a year. My terrain is tough and I pull it over all kinds of stuff and it takes a beating. I probably should have gotten the brush mower, but my goal was to reclaim my 5 acres to make a nice lawn, so I bought the finish cut mower....having said that. 4 stars all the way. The one star deduction is because it is hard to keep level with only two wheels. Once you figure it out, and DO NOT back up with it on, works like a freaking charm.

"First time i tried to write a review, the website did not work."
This mower was purchased to mow our 6 acre vineyard in SE Arizona and control weeds on the other 10 acres. Assembly was pretty straightforward and I had it up & running behind my ATV in about 1/2 hour. My grass/weeds were about 2 feet high and the mower handled them fine.
For the most part the weeds were dry and I had to move slowly at times to avoid bogging down the engine, but the machine powered through. After about 2 acres of mowing I went over a yucca, the blade got stuck and I burned the belt... After a quick trip to the hardware store for a new belt & slime for the tires I was back up & running in about 15min. Easy fix and great machine.

This is my second Swisher trail mower. I really like the changes. The rollers in front of the wheels are more substantial. The gas line relocation is an improvement, and the towing tongue is better.

Ayrol,
We are happy that you are pleased with the updates to the machine. Thank you for choosing Swisher again!
I like the trail mower. However, I went the less expensive route with the smaller engine, should have gone bigger. It does a good job, saves me time mowing, as advertised.

Bought this mower because I needed a tow behind because of the slope I have. I have used it twice so far and it did a great job. I have the pull start which is easy to start, but if you can spare a few more dollars I would get the electric start.

I pull it with a Cub Cadet lawn tractor and between the two of them mow about three acres. Some of it is pretty rough but no problems. I really like being able to sweep up under pine trees with the offset. The gas tank is a little small but it lasts longer than a beer so I guess that's OK. I definitely would recommend this mower.
Pros:Durable, Fast, High Quality, I'd Buy It Again
Cons:Small Gas Tank
