Swisher (60") 14.5HP Finish Cut Tow Behind Trail Mower w/ Electric Start

I have used swishers for tweny five years and neaver had problems. I have purchased a new one that was shipped direct from the factory and it doesen't work near as good as the old ones. I am on my third drive belt and I can not get it to mow lower than 2.5 inches and it is advertised to mow as low as 1.5 inches ....... NOT HAPPY

This time the (fairly heavy) spring that stabilizes the blade engagement pulley broke.

Decent product. Very good power for larger properties. Tension spring snapped on 3rd cutting and still waiting for part. I hope this is not going to be an ongoing issue. Easy start and easy assembly.

This mower was purchased at Tractor Supply, THEY WERE AWESOME!! I have nothing bad to say about Tractor Supply. This mower was purchased May 1st, and died the last week of August. This mower ATE belts and Tractor Supply gave many belts, and discounted belts. This mower however, needed new starter solenoid, new starter motor, broke a bolt that engages the blades only to find the bolt was hollow, then the piston broke within the engine. Upon calling Swisher, was told "oh we only fix the mower, we don't warranty the engine you need to deal with Briggs and Stratton for all engine issues"

It also cut grass unevenly. The center mower blade didn't cut at the same rate as the outer blades.

Tractor Supply refunded the entire amount plus 100 dollars to purchase another identical mower, only to get that mower home and it wouldn't start it also had a bad starter motor, so that mower was returned as well.

Now in the market for a zero turn mower but it won't be Swisher!!

Bought the mower to help out the Sears 42 inch riding mower. We are now cutting the two acres with the Sears riding mower because the Swisher is broke down for the second time. First the pivot bolt bolt for the blade engage broke. (Called swisher, they were busy answering other calls,will call back, oops). Now the Sears is back in service because the Swisher drive belt for the blades quit. It is Friday so will have to call back on Monday. So if you like to work on your mower, don't want to hassle with the warranty department (they are too busy, and won't call back) buy a Swisher, made in America. We have had it less than two months.

Used for 20 hours combined mowing time this spring/summer and had the same belt break twice. I only used for mowing regular height grass in my yard. Look where authorized service centers are located before you buy. Otherwise you may be transporting your mower a long distance just to replace these belts.

Also if you intend to mow your grass short this device is not the best for that as well. Even though the mower says 1" the actual lowest mowing height the best I could do is around 3" on a level surface.

When it is running it does a good job but not anything more. Buyers remorse for sure.

I bought one of these 4 yrs ago and have had to fix it every other use since day one. These things eat belts like candy and the bearing housings for the blades are not built heavy enough for this type of mower. The height adjusters were one of the first things to break and the rollers to prevent scalping don't help much if any. The hitch system is a joke and bends very easily if using offset. The hitch broke on mine again. This time the grooved shaft snapped and now I might scrap it instead of fixing it.

We keep our 6 acres looking like a lawn, and this mower replaced a riding mower that took us a day and a half to mow with. This mower with our 4 wheeler took less than half that time. It is awesome and my husband loved the way it cut. Wonderful machine

We have had our mower for 9 seasons. We mow about 6 acres of very rough, hilly terrain. The first year the mower sat out in the weather because we had no storage for it. I have been extremely rough on it and it has its issues, but this mower, pulled behind my ATV mows areas a garden tractor cannot climb and has been beaten to death. It has not been babied in any way at all.

The mower is almost at the end of its life. It eats belts like candy now. I probably use at least 4 short belts and two long belts per season. I have had some bolts break, starter and solenoid go out but all were fixable at home.

BUY YOUR BELTS AND PARTS ON AMAZON!!!! Quarter the cost of Swisher and you will get them much quicker. Gave up on Swisher on season 3.

I've been thinking about buying a pull behind mower for over a year now since I have about over an acre and a half to mow. I bought a used 15 1/2 HP riding mower last spring of 2012. It worked okay but I have a couple sections with a pretty good slope to them. The ground is also very uneven and chopped up in places. I found myself burning out and beating up the mower deck, eventually I had to get my deck repaired! So this year is the year of the Man Mower, which has changed my life forever when it comes to mowing! Every man should have one of these beautiful pieces of equipment because you will never have to mow your yard again. In saying that, my wife will not let me mow the yard anymore because she has such a fun time pulling the mower around with our quad. I bought the 14 1/2 hp Swisher pull behind. My riding mower sits in my shop and is scared of my new Swisher! The swisher ate a patch of my lawn that was over 1 ft tall and spit it out without a hickup! There is no picking up clippings anymore because it does such a fine job at mulching. This particular deck is 60 inches wide and will go Donner clan style on your lawn! Its the hungry hungry hippo! Can you tell I'm in love with it? I know the price tag is a bit much but compared to a riding lawn mower you can't go wrong and you will be money ahead. Once you have mowed with it, you will forget the money you spent and be more than glad you did. Its the best money I've spent in years! This mower has cut my mowing time in half if not more. It used to take me about 4 hours to mow with my rider, now I can mow my whole yard in less than 2 hours! If you have a lot to mow, and you dread mowing because you have to pick up the clippings, or rake the yard, or just hate the task of mowing for hours on end then you need to buy a pull behind mower. You will not be let down, you will probably mow everyday, or maybe your wife will take to it like a hog to slop like mine!

Took forever to receive the mower. It was to be delivered within 5 days and it took OVER around 3 weeks. No notifications it would be late, and difficult to track because it could not be tracked with their online service. Would have pd. $100.00 extra and bought local had I know it would take that long.
