Hi all
I am considering a 66" Swisher tow behind mower. Apparently, Encore 70" is not made anymore, neither is its 60" brethren, so can't have those. Swisher is next in line.
I am curious, from the first hand owners, how good are they? I have rather rough terrain (not rocks, just poorly graded) and regular mowers, including 2 ZTRs, just don't stand the beating or, my back and neck can't stand the rough ride. I currently mow with 60" powered tow behind flail and UTV, and it worked best but, that thing already has cracked deck, wheel keeps coming off the axle and wheel bearing is cracked, after 3 years of service. Plus, cut is so so.
I saw many very good reviews of Swisher but just can't get over how cheaply made it looks. Too many welds, too many bolts holding too many parts, rather thin looking deck lift rods.... Some guy on YT bought one, is very happy and after I contacted him, he still has no remorse and highly recommends it.
Owners? Your real life experience?
