it's a great thing to collect, i love dragons so it's a awesome part of my collection

I had this book recommended to me by several people and finally bought it and read it. It is not as good as its fans want you to believe; nor as bad as its detractors would make it out.

First, the book is adequately written, but is not going to make anybody's top 100 list. It shoul

This little bottle would have been a bargain at 10 times the price. My wife's 2003 Chrysler Town and Country had been plagued with a noisy growling power steering system for months. It had been getting worse and worse. She finally took it to the dealer and the only recommendation they had was a n

Sturdy machine for the price
9/9/2008
I received the Swisher 44 12.5 HP pull-start trail cutter a week ago and have used it fairly heavily on some rough terrain since then. It works as advertised and makes short work of heavy brush. I'm pulling it behind a Yamaha Rhino 450 with no difficulties. The Briggs & Stratton engine runs fine and starts easily enough that I would have a hard time justifying the additional cost of the electric starter. So far I have no regrets in purchasing this unit instead of a DR. My only complaint is the high cost of shipping, but I don't have access to a local dealer, so what're you gonna do? I wish the hitch attachment had a bit more vertical adjustment available, but I can work around that. So far, so good!

Good + bad = ok
8/23/2008
I've used this quite a lot on my 13 acres in the past year and a half, pulling it behind a Honda 350 Rancher ATV. As far as performance, it really gets the job done. The engine and the heavy blades together make pretty quick work of thick stuff, including saplings. Still, it does get bogged down on occasion and die.

My main problem has been with the belt/pulley/tensioner system. Burned through one belt pretty quick. Belt jumps off the pulleys a lot unless the belt tension is adjusted perfectly. Finally, after a year, I got it exactly right, and things have been going good. I wish there were even a brief mention of how to adjust the belt tension in the manual, but there isn't.

Also, I mowed over the control yoke cable. My fault. So I had to shorten it and attach it directly to the mower, which is fine. Also, it's a bit hard to start. A couple of the plastic parts in the starter broke this summer, but I can still get it started for the time being.

I've also never been able to get the mower to ride perfectly level. As it is, the front rides lower than the back, and obviously this isn't ideal for any mower. Still, it works. There just needs to be another inch or so of adjustment room in the hitch assembly for it to work with my ATV.

PRO: gets the job done, reasonable price, ruggedly built, solid engine
CONS: belt belt belt, starting, hard to "level" behind my ATV

It Will Do What You Want
7/16/2008
I purchased the Swisher 44 about a year ago and thought I'd wait until I did the first oil change at 25 hours to review the product. I had previously purchased a Predator 24 to get at "hard to reach and rough" areas, and was quite pleased. The Swisher 44 was planned to take care of about 8 acres smoother areas in a neglected pasture.

I have not had the problems others have mentioned. At 25 hours I changed the oil and tensioned the belt, and I'm ready to go again. It has done everything I had hoped it would, from tackling 10-12 foot high blood weed to chopping small mesquite trees...some probably in excess of 1 ?? inches in diameter.

Which brings me to the tires: the tires are appreciably tube wheel barrow tires. Even after using "slime", I have had several flats. My last effort was to install a tube made by Slime. It seems to be holding. It would have been nice to have tubeless tires of some substance, but I can change that if need be.

The assembly instruction could have been clearer, but it wasn't difficult to figure it out. I had to modify the hitch because I hooked it to a garden tractor, but that was not difficult either.

I would, and have, recommended this product to others. I've kept the acreage in control: the blood weed is gone and the mesquites are in check. Towing slowly, it takes about an hour per acre and the results are wonderful. Swisher, Inc. should be congratulated for developing this product and selling it at this cost. It is a GREAT value.

This thing kicks [...]
5/24/2008
I just got this mower last week. Yesterday was my first chance to hook it up to the ATV and start clearing my property. Because this is my first effort there are always hidden rocks, chunks of wood, etc. that I miss. Although I try to avoid these things I have hit a few. So far, no damage to the machine, and it is doing an excellant job of turning my poison oak, manzanita, and slash into mulch. I am very pleased with it. I only bogged it down once when I dove into the middle of a blackberry patch that was as tall as my ATV. It didn't quit, ut I had to slow down a little. Good product!!

Tire Problems and Belt
10/29/2007
Good piece of equipment with a couple of things the manufacture must fix. This is a rough cut mower, which means anywhere the four wheeler will go, it should cut (within reason)... it does. Problem I have had is numerous flat tires.. The tires are skinny, two ply tires, cheap as you can get, with an even cheaper inner tube. Flat after flat. If this skinny, then need to be a no-air tire... Personnaly, I think they should have been a low pressure atv tire, full of gunk, like the atv.
Other things,
Belt disintegrates if you bog down and don't turn the blades off. It is hard to change. Basically, need to take both covers off and the engine to install.
The control cable is about 2 feet short to do any good.

If the tires didn't go flat so often, it does the job of a 30K tractor for a fraction of the cost. And you wouldn't get stuck
