The Swish 6.5 HP Trim Max trimmer mower is designed to reduce back stress associated with hand-held mowers, yet it provides three to four times the power for effectively trimming overgrown edges and mowing high weeds and lawns. Equipped with a 6 HP Briggs & Stratton engine, the Trim Max maneuvers rugged landscapes and manicured lawns with ease. While many other standing trimmer mowers feature sharp steel blades, the Trim Max uses a .155-inch diameter cutting line for greater safety. Users can adjust the line's tension belt for better performance and extended belt life. The trimmer mower cuts a wide 22-inch swath and automatically turns off when idle, saving fuel and adding further safety. Powdercoat paint covers all metal parts for greater durability. The trimmer head is located on the left side of the mower while 14-inch wheels allow the trimmer mower to turn corners deftly while providing clearance in rougher terrain. To prevent debris from clustering around the machine, Swisher built a debris guard onto the rear of the trimmer mower. The Trim Max also benefits from easy care as all bearings are sealed, so there's no need for lubrication. The simple task of replacing the cutting line requires no tools, and the trimmer mower runs on regular unleaded gasoline.

My new Little Friend.
I flashed the plastic and my Swisher DXQ was delivered less than a week later. Having used it for several days now, I'll post my review here.
Some assembly is required. You'll put on the wheels, and the handle. I noted what another reviewer said here previously about the handle coming loose, so I used lock-tite on the handle nuts, and they have not come loose yet. Yes, the wheels are plastic, but remember this unit is under $400 (edit update: I see this machine on Amazon for $517 now). Besides, you'll appreciate the lighter weight (no self-propel on this model).
The unit comes with a small can of Briggs oil, just enough to fill the crankcase, nice touch. I put in some gas and the engine cranked right up for me and ran well.
What I use it for: I have some open areas (septic fields, horse barn areas, etc) which tend to get overgrown with high thick weeds. I use the Swisher to 'pre-cut' those areas, going in and knocking down chest-high overgrowth...

Save your money
I purchased this model over some of the cheaper models because I thought the tiltable head would be a great option, however it is a source of frustration. The locking clamp will not hold, so while you are using it the position changes and all of a sudden you are scalping your lawn. I finally helped it some by really tightening it with a 10" cresent. So now if I need to change position of the head I have to carry a cresent wrench. Also the line does not last very long. It does not wear out on the ends but breaks at the head where you loop it. This line is also expensive even when purchased in bulk on a spool. Also when you tilt the mower back to change the line the mower seems to flood and I have some trouble restarting it. So here is the big picture I have a large lot with lots of edging, In order to get the job done I have to carry a 10" cresent and approx 4 pairs of extra line in my pocket. I spend time whenever I change line waiting to start it and if I haven't really tightened the...
Yes, it will chop just about anything.....
I have used this trimmer for the past three months to control the weeds around small trees. It will cut through just about anything (including trees!) without bogging down. The line will last quite a while as long as you are chopping weeds and not rocks, barbed wire, or anything metal. Overall a very good product. I have not ever used the tilt head. The only drawbacks are the flimsy wheels (replace with metal rimmed wheels) and the tendency to get too close to something important! The brace holding the guard did break off but a quick weld fixed the problem. My machine has been run for about 120 hours with no problems under some severe conditions (heat, dust, large amounts of vegetation, etc). I would purchase this item again but I may look at the Trail Cutter for my application in the future.
