Q: On the Swisher Rough cut trail mower is there any height adjustment for cutting height? I see that the spec says 7" is that the only height that it will cut? by Rob from Michigan on June 22, 2015

Q: Want to buy either 44 or 52 inch tow behind bush hog mower. Question is : I would be pulling it with a Kubota RTV. How long is the remote control cord ? I would need it to extend to the cab of the RTV. by John Blandford from Kentucky on August 02, 2013
A: John - The remote operator control on the Swisher 44" Trail Cutters is 8-1/2 feet in length, and 10 feet in length on the 52" models. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: what battery should I purchase and does it use gas does it use? by Mary Stuart from New York on July 02, 2013

Q: I plan on using a rough cut trail mower on a pond dam with a 3 to 1 slope This I think is about 18 degrees. Will the mower handle this without sliding or the engine oil running out of its sump. by Randal from Alabama on April 29, 2013
A: Randal - Swisher does not recommend using any of their rough cut mower models on slopes or inclines of greater than 15 degrees for just the reasons you mention in your e-mail. by Jose, Product Expert

I Am A Satisfied Customer
I would like to have had a small front center wheel on this so I could roll the mower with ease after disconnecting for storage and be able to fold up the tow handle so it could be placed back over the mower. I am a senior so having the front wheel would be of great benefit rather than lifting and rolling into place. The side wheels I felt were a bit too large and wide and flattened the grass. Over all I am very pleased with this mower other than what I stated. Performance is excellent and easy to use. Pricing and features were better than the competition. Quality is excellent.

Terry,
We are very happy to hear that you are pleased with your purchase. Thank you for choosing Swisher!
"NO PROBLEMS YET. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GIRLS IN THE OFFICE THEY ARE GREAT HELP IN BUYING THIS MOWER AND THE FOLLOW UP THEY DID FROM THE START TO THE ARRIVAL OF MY MOWER. THANK YOU TERRY DENNIS, MARYSVILLE CA."
I bought this mower to mow my walnut and grape fields. Delivery was on time and they helped unload it.
I have used it only three times and it works great. Starts right up.
I had to go out and buy a battery for it. I bought two because I could find the size anywhere on the manuals.
Neither one was the right size but we made one work.

Loretta,
We are sorry to hear you had a hard time locating the correct battery. The battery is referenced on page 4 of the Swisher owners manual. A standard U1 Lawn & Garden battery will work. Please do not hesitate to contact us toll free at 800-222-8183 if you have any other questions. Thank you for choosing Swisher.
The mower would not hook on to my new Honda 1000, so I called customer service at two locations and asked if they could help me. I never received a call back from both people.
