Swisher Trailmower model# 13560,
July 9, 2007
By ROGER14389770
from Blaine, WA
"This machine is amazing. It has cut my mowing time to less than half of the previous events; this is considerable when mowing 14 acres twice a week or more. The cut is excellent and creates a true park-like environment. The manuverability is unparalled. I can get it into (and out) of some very tight spaces, and this make cutting around trees and bushes a breeze. I would enthusiastically recommend ths mower to anyone who has a sizable area to mow. It is also very easy to start and will tow behind anything. I have towed it with a golf cart and with a garden tractor (favorite) with five star success."

Extreme light duty,

"Made for short grass mowed at least once a week; will not handle any more- for light duty mowing, it might work ok, but nothing more- the deck is lighter than my Snapper 30" rear rider."

Timesaver,
August 13, 2009
By Instagator
from Hudson,Fl
"This machine is a must have for any one with acres. I pull my 60" 13hpI/C Briggs offset with a 22hp 54" Husqvarna. That is 110" cut on 5 acres with trees in2.5 hours. With a little skill it is very maneuverable. You can make one circle cut around trees that you cannot do with just a tractor. I owned it for 4 years and only have done general repairs. It is well built and expect to have it a long time."

"I have had this mower for two seasons and it has been dependable. It has an electric start and is easy to maintain. It cuts as smooth and evenly as any other mower that I have seen or tried. All in all, it has been an excellent purchase."

"I've used this mower about 5 times now for our four acres. It follows great with my GT 2554 Cub cadet. Nearly all of my use has been as an offset mower and once you get a system down with the turns it's great! It's really easy to move around by hand when getting it connected to the mower. I was impressed with how heavy duty all of the frame etc. is. You won't be disapointed."

Overall a good machine!,
June 3, 2009
By BWHITE
from East Tennessee
"I have 5 acres on a huge hill in East Tennessee. This machine is great when pulling behind an ATV. I have mowed the 5 acres the last 2 years with a 60" zero turn riding scag. The scag had difficulty going up a steep hill, and was dangerous going down hills. That is why I purchased the pull behind Swisher. With the ATV in 4 low it will pull the Swisher up hills, and all over my property with ease. Obviously you will have alot more trimming to do because it is hard to get the Swisher in and out of tight spots. The max speed that you will want to pull the Swisher is 5mph. The only negative thing I can say about this machine is the factory weld that connects it to the ATV. This weld was broke after my first use. I had a buddy weld a hitch onto the Swisher tounge and now it works great. Make sure you keep it greased!"

Traile mower saves me time,
March 24, 2009
By Hacksaw580
from Upsate NY
"I bought the swisher 60" trail mower w/ 14.5 hp engine and it mows my lawn flawlessly. It does not scallop or chop the lawn at all. It is slightly gas hungry but for a 14.5 hp lawn mower I guess that it could be worse. Tried it at an offset but it is pretty tricky to tow and now I just pull it straight. It can be pulled at a much faster rate than the Cub Cadet can cut anyway. It is built very sturdy and looks like it will last a long time. I now have 1 year on it with no issues."

60" Finish mower,
August 11, 2008
By wtaylor108
from Bridport, Vermont
"Very powerful mower. I mow a little over 5 acres. I use the mower pulled behind a Polaris Ranger and have had no problems at all. The cut is nice and even and leaves a beautiful lawn. It seems to be easy on the gas too. I have to fill up every other time to mow.
Good product and it is "Made in America", something hard to find these days."

Rugged Mower,
May 6, 2008
By DonMc
from LONDON, KENTUCKY
"I mow approximately 6-7 acres on my farm that has hills, flat land, shallow ditches, trees, and large and small spaces. I have had my mower three years and pull my 60" Swisher with an ATV.
At first I "babied" this thing, but after getting used to it, it gets more rough treatment now than it probably should. It cuts very well and the only items I have replaced are: a bearing, a long belt, and crank handles for adjusting the mowing height.
I would recomend this mower to anyone with a large mowing area.
The thing I don't understand is why you would ever have to purchase a new one. You can buy any part you want, even down to the "ruler decals"."

Good mower,
April 23, 2008
By Torch
from Canton, IL
"This is my second Swisher mower I have had. The first one had the Briggs engine, the one I currently am using has a Honda engine. The Honda engine is much, much better than the Briggs. It has proven to be more reliable and quieter, with more power. The mower itself has held up well other than the spindle bearings wore out much too quickly. I mow about 8 acres with the Swisher pulled by a John Deere 320 lawn and garden tractor. The mower is starting to show some wear after 5 mowing seasons. Overall I am very happy with the mower and feel it is a great value for the money. I researched several brands before settling on the Swisher and, although some of the other brands seemed to be made a little heavier, the higher cost for these mowers did not seem worth it. My dad also has one that is 2 years old. It has held up well with his 2 acres of mowing. He pulls his with a John Deere 755 compact tractor. The mowers do well keeping pace with the John Deeres altough there are times that the Swishers engine pulls down when the the tractor's does not. This is most likely due to the fact the blade speed on the Swisher is much slower. I would recommend this mower to anyone who has some acres to mow."

Good value,
April 21, 2008
By Countryliving
from Cleveland, MS
"We have owned this Mower for 4 years and the only repairs we have made have been the belts and replaced the battery. Of course we have changed out the blades once in the 4 years we've owned it! People are usually suprised at the cut this gives our lawn. We have close to 3 acres we use it to cut with and so far so good. I have even taken into some rough areas and it preformed great. Great for open spaces where you don't need to tight turn."

3 years so far,
October 30, 2007
By Fudge
from Fincastle, VA
"Bought
mine 3 years ago and I am not sure what I would have done without it.
Has worked great for me and I mow about 6 to 7 acres. The only issues I
had so far was delivery required a truck with a lift which is extra
cost. And my yard (field) is not real smooth so the gas tank bracket
needed replaced. It was spot welded in 3 places, I wish is was welded
better."

swisher 60" mower,
January 17, 2007
By gordo316
from Coldwater, Michigan...Rural area
"This is an excellently engineered fast large area mower. This is the newer version of the one I own. I have used my mower for two years now and the results have been much better than i would have expected from a pull behind mower. I pull this mower with a revamped bolens 50 " mower for a combined width of 110 ". There is almost no scalping with the swisher, and that is more than I can say for the bolens. We are mowing aprox. 11 arces every week during the growing season. Last year we had to mow twenty one times. Blades were sharpened at the start of the season and then replaced at the end of the season with a new set. The original set are still in good condition and will be used again after sharpening... Great machine..."

handel bad,
November 28, 2006
By nastytx
from Texas
"The lever to engage the mower is not of good quality. The structure of the lever is not meant for continued use and breaks off. I recommend a stronger flat material for this lever. Because of this problem I returned the product after only 3 days of use. This was a huge disappointment as I was really interested in using this product. I hope my comments help to improve the future models and I can then purchase one of the improved units."
