The lubrication on the Swisher RC 14544BS, is it splash or pressure? What degree angle of hill will it efficiently operate on?

David - all of the Swisher tow-behind mowers use a "splash" lubrication system. These mowers will operate effectively on a slope of up to about 17 degree's.

Is there a connector at the end of the tow bar (to mate to the ATV hitch?) If yes, what is it?

A universal articulating hitch attaches to any hitch system and lets the mower maneuver easily behind whatever is pulling it.
