 Failed to proceed Sep 01, 2009
I wish I had taken the time to do more research on this mower. Since Swisher is located in Warrensburg MO and I am only 50 miles away, I though buying local was the sensible thing to do. I purchased this mover new in October 2007 and since December 2007 the mower has been in and out of service. Swisher will not stand by their 12 month warranty and Customer Service's lack of product knowledge is evident each time you talk to them - so be warned.
In order of problems:
1) transaxle failed after 20 hours. This is a Tecumseh transaxle and is not stock by Swisher, so you have to make arrangement sot order it and install it yourself - cost $440.00
2) blade pulley bearing seized after 50 hours . cost of bearing and service $186
3) hanging loose wire in belt pulley area ( a really bad design flaw). The belt catches and strips the wire. This wire touches the deck and shorts out, stopping the motor when the blade. Still have not figured out how to rectify that.
So you've been warned. For the price I paid plus the repairs made in less that two years, I would have been better off with the DRFields.
 Three years of hard work made easy Jul 31, 2009
I have used the mower now for nearly 3 years. I agree the design is poor, but it does work fairly well. I am six foot three and the handlebars are set for a guy more like five foot five, but I manage. The lever that shifts the gears is poorly designed and made from weak aluminum tube which does not wear well when used as often as I have shifted from gear to gear. The design is not user friendly as far as the hand grips and the pinch effect of the user controls on the handle bars, but once you get used to it, and wear leather gloves, this is not so terrible. Engine starts easy, even after setting for five months of winter. This mower really went through the thickets of blackberry, honeysuckle sapplings, and other well entrenched plants. Some viney plants do get wrapped up around the blade center piece, but that is to be expected. I have the tires which require air inflation and at $87 a piece, the wear has been exceptional; but I have put in self sealant as thorns will go thru the rubber with ease. CUSTOMER SERVICE is exceptional; parts are shipped quickly and the staff is personable and proficient. I have used this machine well over 100 hours and on about 30 of my 80 acres; it does the job as advertised and I still have money left over for gasoline. If you want status, go with DR Brand and dont forget to mow your field with a POLO shirt and Docker pants on....but if you want a machine to grunt right along with you out in the field, go with the Predator...you get a good work out and your land looks great when you are done. I would buy this product again; not because I am a cheap skate, but I am a frugile shopper....and besides, I wear blue jeans and wife beaters when I am out in the field working. A great piece of farm equipment....now if the wife would just use it.
Great value for a workhorse machine Jun 12, 2009
Excellent results with my Swisher Predator mower. Very minor problems with the grips as noted by other reviewers. I glued mine with contact cement and solved the slipping. Some bending to reach the transmission handle but even with my bad back I can do it. Highly recommended.

This thing gives you a workout like all walk behind brush cutters. I have some areas on my 40 acres that are too unstable to mow with my small tractor mounted brush cutter. After a year of use, this thing has done the job. Considering the price compared to others I gave it four instead of three stars.
Good:
1. Compared to my log splitter with a B&S engine, this thing starts real easy with a tug of the rope and some choke.
2. Price, look at Outback, DR, others and then you will agree.
3. Pretty stout frame.
Bad:
1. Head pulley bearing failed in the first couple hours of use. Warranty covered by local repair shop and no hassles from Swisher. New bearings do fail which I see quite often in my line of work. A little aggravating since I had to load the unit up and bring it home (100+ miles away) for repair.
2. Shift lever works itself loose. You have to remove a rear cover to access the bolt that comes loose. I may put some loctite on mine as it is coming loose again for the second time.
3. Sharp corners on front upturned brush guard. Repair shop guy tore a gash in his leg when he walked by it while it was in the shop.
4. Shifting into reverse is a real pain. The safety disengages the blade and you have to reach over to move the lever. Sounds easy but it is not much fun when you have the front of the mower pointed down in a ditch and need to back up out of the ditch.
5. Transmission hangs down too low. Numerous times I have hung mine up on the various rocks on my property lurking in the weeds.
 swisher not too bad Sep 19, 2008
pros..it works as it says. inexpensive compared to other makes cons.. too small a fuel tank so you must refuel often(less than hour run time), heavy brush will turn on choke and stop engine. to put in reverse lever down low in the brush area..should be up on handlebar area.

If you're in the market for a basic, entry-level electric trimmer to handle light trimming work around your house, the Black and Decker 9-inch grass trimmer might be worth considering. While certainly not as powerful or feature-laden as more costly models, this trimmer can handle much of the light-duty work many homeowners need. The trimmer weighs just 3.2 pounds and requires little assembly with just 2 steps. It operates off a reliable, 1.8-amp HP motor, which spins the line at 11,000 rpm. This grass trimmer features a basic bump feed line system, a generous nine-inch cutting path, and a secondary assist handle for added comfort and control. It comes with 20 feet of .065-diameter line, and spool replacement is fairly simple. One thing I found especially handy with this particular trimmer was its unique cord lock system, which holds the extension cord firmly in place while the trimmer is in use.
