Swisher Trim-N-Mow Model ST60022Q [Posted on 2006-08-25]
When the Item was received, several small parts were missing. After contacting the Swisher company, I was assured that the missing parts would be provided at no cost. That promise was fulfilled.

However,, I have the following comments concerning the design of this machine: (These comments are keyed to the Swisher Owner's Manual, 10696 Rev-06-32).

1.The pull start is located on the engine. Most modern lawn machines with a 'handle safety squeeze bar' are configured with the pull handle mounted within easy reach of the handle.

2. The machine does not have any method of acheiving accurate cutting height, other than the operators ability to judge the distance between the cutting cords and the ground. The plastic threaded roller (item 10) is inadequate and the distance from the ground should be adjustable by the operator.

3. Operation of the machine causes cut material to pack into the space between the rear drive pulley (item 2) and the rear cover (item 5).

4. The engine 'cooling' design is self defeating because as material is cut it is sucked onto the top engine grill over the air flow intake and prevents air from flowing over the engine. That is not good and must prevent adequate engine cooling.

These changes in the aforementioned flaws would make your machine a much more usable item.

It would be nice if you responded to my comments.

OK. But not great [Posted on 2006-11-09]
The machine was inoperable upon arrival because of very poor quality control in the assembly and packaging. After my efforts to correct these errors, the machine ran all right and was effective in cutting the huge amount of weeds on our property. I should mention that I spent many years correcting problems for a living making it relatively easy to get this machine running, however if one doesn't have good repair skills it would be a real adventure.

Just as good as my DR Trimmer [Posted on 2007-04-04]
I bought this trimmer to replace my 5-yr old DR 5hp electric start trimmer which now refuses to start. (I can probably fix it, but don't have time right now).
The manual start Swisher starts easily, does just as good a job as my DR (long grass and weeds); the cords are much easier to replace and don't pull out. Best of all, it cost a lot less.
I did not buy electric start because the tiny battery on my DR quit after six months and costs far too much to replace.
So I am pleased with my purchase, and would not go back to DR. (I don't need any of the optional extras that DR offer).

good machine overall [Posted on 2007-09-09]
I am clearing 4-5ft. tall brush off my land.This machine knocks it down like crazy. I am amazed what a good job it does. I will say it is a little hard to start when the engine is cold but after that it starts first time the rest of the day. It probably be built a little tougher but then the price would just go up. For the price of this machine you can't find anything better on the market.
