Swisher 44"

[Meatstick]

Selling my Swisher Rugged Cut.
44" electric start (gotta jump the solenoid though, I always just pull start it). 10.5hp Briggs. Offset tongue, but can be set to center pull also. Tree kickers and foam filled tires. In decent shape and I just sharpened the blades. I usually pulled it with an old Arctic Cat 500 and it will cut anything you can run over. It's a beast of a machine but I just use a tractor anymore. $1200 in Willisburg.

Does it have ability to raise or lower if ya have to go over rough ground or a patch of rocks? Or do you just have to shut it off?

I saw an Amish guy yesterday pulling one of those behind a small buggy pulled by a pony. LOL. He was bush-hogging a pasture.

No hydros. Just have to cut it off

I’ve been using one just like that for 22 years on my farm. Always starts on first or second pull after sitting all winter. They are tough little machines. I have a tractor now but still use the swisher in the places the tractor can’t go, meaning steep and rough. If you can drag it over it, it will cut it down.

Yessir. I've had this one for 12 years now, and it's impressive every time I take it out.

Wish you would have sold last year! I bought one and absolutely love it. New prices went up a bunch. This sounds like a good deal. Good luck with the sale

I should have. It's only been a Johnson grass chopper for the last 3 years.

These things are tough little buggars. We use one at our club and it’s cut stuff that I never woulda thought was possible. As said if you can get the 4 wheeler over it it’ll chomp thru it.

Only issue we have with ours is stretching belts. Seems to eat belts often, maybe a pulley is out of line.

How often do you need to change the blade belts if at all?

I've changed it once in 12 years but it didn't need it
