Thank you!

That would be pretty nice.

Yep, the Swisher doesn’t mow as nicely as the zero turn but it’s fast for when you’re in a hurry. Also, this is an older Swisher mower, I’m sure their newer ones are nicer.

I only run 4 psi in 13560 trail mower tires, and about 6 in the (heavier) commercial 66" Swisher trail (tow) mower. Really reduces the bounce.

Look at the Kunz mowers. Indestructible. Finish and Rough Mowers. I have run both, but I have a 60" Finish mower, and our church has a 60" ProK. Makes mowing fun!

You really need a heavy duty zero turn to pull the Swisher w/o damaging the transmission.... Anything under $7-8k isn't recommended, sorry ~

That is what I was afraid of. Thank you for your feedback!

Yes, for the commercial ones it’s fine. I wouldn’t do it with the residential ones.

He can pull that or any Wheeled attachment with that JD any day, all day. Get your info straight -

@@georgehofgren6123 Hi George, I have owned a JD 1026 tractor for 8 years, an 855 before that for 10 years, a 585 before that for 10 years, and before that a 455 for 20 years purchased in 1992 and sold to my neighbor in 2012 so it is 31 years old and looks brand new and runs like a deer ( pardon the pun but true). All of course have been diesel engines which are Yanmar's. Deere bought them out and got rid of everything except the diesel engines and I wouldn't buy anything but diesel. I've never had a problem with their diesel engines. I've been pulling TWO Swisher Trail Mowers behind the1026 for 8 years now, but when I bought my JD 24 horse diesel zero turn two years ago and inquired about pulling the Swisher's ( about 300lbs. each), my Deere Rep said the zero turn transmissions are only rated to pull up to 300 lbs. Are you saying my Rep is wrong? I never researched into it but i I was concerned about that and the longevity of the Zero Turn's transmissions when lugging 300 lbs. around every week when I mow my 13 acres. Do you think it's safe.

@vscolkitt That would completely depend on which JD zero turn you bought. Although even if you bought the top of the line (900 series) as this youtuber did, those Swishers are actually 400lbs. So x2 would be 800lbs sustained pulling. You are correct that Tractors are designed to pull. High end Zero turns *can* pull, but they are all designed not to do real pulling Work. The best zero-turns do use separate hydraulic pumps and motors, which is far more robust than L&R transaxles, BUT the stronger pumps just make up for much heavier zero turns they put them on, like Hustler's. Just about your only exception would be a Wide Area Mower (wam), but those are close to $100k- So the answer for your situation unfortunately is No, don't use any zero turn to pull 2 Swishers. I could be wrong... if it's only flat ground And you don't drive the mower for more than an hr... it won't heat up enough to do damage likely. You'd still want to do more frequent trans oil/filter changes.... It might be argued that for the nibleness of just one Swisher and a zero turn, that you still might be faster on a private property (w/obstacles etc) than 2 Swishers w/a tractor. But then again, the Swisher is limited to how fast it will cut... This is where expensive Zero turns end up trumping everything for total grass mowed.... Because some zero-turns can fully mow at 10mph or more, which nothing else can approach. 💁‍♂️

This is exactly what I was thinking. Thought maybe it was just me.

What in World are you talking about? First of all, that Is Swihsers Finish mower. Secondly, he's mowing along the uncut line with the Deere, easily following it perfectly as show. The setup as show also has the most even dispersal of grass-

You can see he's on Completely Flat ground... go take your meds 🙄

@@georgehofgren6123 you completely miss the point of safety equipment. Go back to your parents basement.

@tdclymore 😆 😂 🤣 😅 Better check yourself... "DEFEATED!!!" means that he Cut Off the ROPS or removed it altogether. He has it down to mow his Flat field, possibly to mow under branches... Do you wear your seatbelt in the garage? 🤔 Either learn not to live by hyperbole, or pull that dildo out ~ 🤡

Swisher makes a 'finish mower" and a "rough cut" mower (which is more like a bush hog). Their terminology is confusing because they are both called "trail mowers"....meaning they "trail behind" the lead mower. But, when most people hear the term "trail mower" they think "rough cut" or "bush hog". Like what you'd use to cut a trail thru the woods. Don't know why Swisher doesn't change their terminology so that they don't end up with a "finish cut trail mower" like they call their "finish mower" now....confusing.

Don' t buy a swisher. Trying to find any info on how to make repairs (which you will be doing) is impossible. Even when you contact swisher directly with a question about a belt repair on a tow behind 44" finish mower, you get nothing but a part number. Save your time and effort and money and put them toward purchasing a better tractor with a larger deck. It will be worth it.
