I've had the Swisher 13.5 hp 60" cut for about 6 months now
and loved it. Pulling behind an Eiger 400 4x4 and moving
faster than recommended I cut 1.5 acres in about an hour.

I own a Polaris ATP 500 and use a Polaris 60" front or rear mount finish mower. The mower is actually manufactured by Swisher (www.swisherinc.com). Polaris actually makes a front mount for it and it works great. It is much easier to push than pull.

 

Could anyone email me some pics of your mowers front mount kits. The reason is I want to fabricate my own front mount for my 60" finish mower and need something to go by.

 

I will have to take some digital pictures of mine but won't be able to do that until sometime this weekend. Will try to post them then. Thanks.

Didnt see it?

 

Mort,

I have been using a 42" drag style mower made by Bush Hog with an 11 hp engine now for 16 years and it still does a good job on my 4 acres of hills rocks and trees. I have been pulling it behind a Honda 250SX 3 wheeler and lately have purchased a 454 ArcticCat and the pair is flawless.

Since I am getting older, the only change that I would make is to have electric start, a must.

The mower is very manuverable pulling and since I have a lot of trees, I modified the front of the mower with some wheelbarrow wheels mounted horizontally so that the mower will skip around a tree if I cut too short.

Kunz and Swisher were not in business when I bought mine and they too have excellent products and cheaper than BushHog but I planned to keep it for awhile and it had paid off.

The 3 wheeler is for sale by the way....see classifieds.

Good luck, this is my first time to the forum and it appears that it is well moderated and has some good info.
