Amazon.com Product Description
An ideal back-saving alternative to heavy handheld gas trimmers, the Swisher 6-horsepower standard trimmer is three heavy-duty yard machines in one. The trimmer's extra-wide 22-inch cutting swath rivals that of most lawnmowers, while its user-friendly design offers unsurpassed, precision trimming, and edging performance. Equipped with a powerful 12-volt starter for easy and reliable start-ups, the trimmer also features 14-inch ball bearing wheels for plenty of clearance and smooth rolling over rough terrain. A 6-horsepower, Briggs and Stratton quantum engine offers optimal power and long life for all types of domestic trimming and edging. Additionally, a tough, .155-inch diameter cutting line provides ample cutting strength for weeds and thick overgrowth, and the trimmer automatically shuts off when the handle is released for added safety. The trimming head also pivots to follow the contour of the ground, swiveling left to right for easy cutting around obstacles and hard to reach areas. And, when it's time to edge, the head rotates 90-degrees for touching up boarders around sidewalks, driveways, and flowerbeds. The cut line is easily replaced, too, without the use of tools. The trimmer comes with a 2-year warranty on materials and workmanship.

 good machine overall September 9, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
Just as good as my DR Trimmer April 4, 2007

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).
 OK. But not great November 9, 2006

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.

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.
