Good value but some anoying minor flaws
Like others, I couldn't believe a DR Field and Brush mower could be worth the $1000 more (although the DR does accept additional overpriced attachments).
So, I ordered the Swisher through Amazon. At first I was given a delivery date in 2 months, but it ended up arriving after 1 month -- still rather long.
The mower was easy to assemble and initially worked great, chomping through the 4 feet grass and various blackberry brushes in my eratically sloped fields. Still a fair amount of work (on flat ground though it is very low effort), but after about 2 hours of use, the motor cut off every time I engaged the mower!
So, I opened up the top cover over the pully system, and noticed a wire going from the motor to the safety switch (detects when the mower is engaged and shuts it off when needed, such as when putting it into reverse). The wire on the left side of the mower (as viewed from the rear handlebars) had come out of a little plastic clip assembly,...

Good value - machine does what you need
I bought this machine because I compared prices, and this is the best value on the market. I read the other reviews, and took the precautions mentioned. I used loctite on the handle bolts, wrapped the control cables with flexible tubing and zip-tied them, and used silicon glue on the handle-pads before my first use.
During use, you'll find that this machine won't lose battles with any weeds or brush. This is a good product for the price. The picture makes it look smaller than it is, and the model has been updated, so take a look at the swisher site to see the new handlebar configuration.
Great value! Brush Cutter Not DR Chipper
This thing is a great value at about half the DR chipper brand price. It was well packaged with only minor handle and shift knob assembly needed. The Briggs engine ran a little rough at first but this went away after 5 min. I wrapped the fuel lines that run right up along the engine block with heavy foil. I had just replaced these lines on a very similar 25 hp Briggs after only 3 yrs - totally rotted from the heat. The brush cutter went through 4' tall heavy Texas weeds (up to 1" dia.) with no problem. The unit is still tiring in 95+ heat but a lot better than running them over 5x with a regular mower!
