So Far So Good

By Ron S.

Knoxville, Maryland

Purchased 03/29/2018 |

Review Posted 05/10/2018

I have used this mower to cut my four-acre field three times now and it does a very nice job. I pull it with my four-wheeler and it cut my mowing time in half. I still have to figure out a way to lift it up to clean under the deck, but that is only a matter of trying some different methods.

Not Impressed So Far

By Alexander E.

Foothills, California

Purchased 02/10/2018 |

Review Posted 04/26/2018

So far this mower has been a nightmare. It took 4 weeks to get delivered, not the 3-5 days which I read. When it arrived the box with the wheels had a hole in it and the nut that holds on the front wheel had fallen out. Once it arrived and I got it put together the mower did do a good job for my first three times using it. Tonight I was mowing and the small upper belt snapped.. after three times using it. Not impressed with the whole experience or quality of at least the belts they used.

Expert Response

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. Broken belts are frustrating indeed, and we apologize for the irritation yours has caused you. Though we do not have extensive details on exactly what’s going on as a whole, we can make a few suggestions that may help you address the issue.

First, please review the Belt Configuration illustration on page 14 of the Operator’s Manual to ensure that the pulley is on properly. Next, we advise that you check the idler pulleys and spindles to make sure they are moving freely. The bearings in these components can bind up or freeze due to debris build up. Lastly, check the bushings on the idler pulleys. When these become worn, they are known to cause belts to misalign.

We hope these suggestions help you get to the bottom of whatever is causing the belt issue. If you conclude that there is a manufacturers defect with this unit, you can always have it checked out at a professional service center. We are here to provide additional guidance if you need it, so please feel free to reach out anytime.

We hope this message finds you well and we hope to work with you again in the future.

Cuts Well But Tension Spring Snapped On 3rd Time Cutting

By Jeffrey W

East Brunswick, New Jersey

Purchased 04/16/2017 |

Review Posted 05/08/2017

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.

Surprise Swisher purchase is a SUCCESS!.

By Beverly M.

New York

Purchased 06/10/2016 |

Review Posted 07/14/2016

I purchased a Swisher trail mower for my husband as a Father's Day gift.

One Saturday morning, at our cabin, I observed my husband spend hours retrofitting the 1990 brush hog he uses. I felt so bad for him!! I decided he would not have to do that ever again.

So I went on line, never having purchased lawn equipment previously, found the website easy to navigate, the purchase was simple, delivery went without a hitch. Great customer service. My husband was very surprised and couldn't stop commenting on all the features. Can't wait to use it next time we go to the cabin.

Said, his best Father's Day gift.

Nothing But Trouble

By Clifford W.

Wellsboro, Pennsylvania

Purchased 04/14/2016 |

Review Posted 05/28/2016

the good: A nice smooth sophisticated engine for a single cylinder model.

the rest: -no hitch
-no battery post hardware
-insulators on battery cables won't begin to cover battery terminals.
-start disable blade switch failed after 1 hour

the worst: main drive belt failed (shredded) after 8 hours and it looks like quite a chore to replace.

Swisher took a very nice engine and built a crap mower around it.

Very disappointed.
