Tools and Hardware Reviews of Swisher ST65022DXQ Trim Max 6.5 HP Trimmer Mower

Customer Review: Be afraid ... be very afraid.
Summary: 2 Stars

I'm comparing this unit to my old Troy-bilt (MTD) trimmer/mower and the Swisher fails miserably. The bearing went out in the spindle of my beloved Troy-Bilt and I'm unable to get the replacement part, which is terribly disabpointing. My old trimmer idled when the engine was running, but the head didn't spin until the bar was pulled back and the idler applied tension to the belt. The Swisher's head is spinning as soon as you crank it and you cannot idle. I hate this. What's worse about the Swisher is that the cutting depth is non-adjustable. It cuts at about 1.5 inches and every stick or gumball becomes a dangerous projectile. Heaven forbid you pick up a rock. Hide the wife, kids, pets, cars and windows when using the Swisher trimmer. The entire deck of the Troy-Bilt was shrouded, but had a "spout" for the discharge. Some debris accumulated under the deck, but it was worth it. The Swisher has a flimsey "one-third" shroud, leaving two-thirds of the head completely exposed (see above comment about dangerous projectiles.) A bolt in the shaft of the Swisher prevents the shroud from being adjusted to an appropriate position, so long pants and high boots are needed because a lot of debris flies out the back of the mower, underneath the shroud (see above comment about dangerous projectiles.) I haven't even used the tiltable head feature yet, but other reviews indicate that it's problematic too, as the u-bolt doesn't hold the head in place properly. My overall opinion is this unit might be useful for someone who has a nice, clear, level patch of grass or weeds to mow. I used my previous trimmer/mower to mow a thinly wooded area with numerous trees. It was perfect for trimming the bases of the trees. But with trees like this you have sticks and gumballs, which become (you guessed it) dangerous projectiles when using the Swisher trimmer/mower. I think good folks at Swisher should have forgotten about the fancy pivoting head - which apparently doesn't work well anyway - and concentrated more on some safety and convenience features that would make this trimmer more usable. This unit is poorly thought out and designed.

Description of Swisher ST65022DXQ Trim Max 6.5 HP Trimmer Mower

The Swish 6.5 HP Trim Max trimmer mower is designed to reduce back stress associated with hand-held mowers, yet it provides three to four times the power for effectively trimming overgrown edges and mowing high weeds and lawns. Equipped with a 6 HP Briggs & Stratton engine, the Trim Max maneuvers rugged landscapes and manicured lawns with ease. While many other standing trimmer mowers feature sharp steel blades, the Trim Max uses a .155-inch diameter cutting line for greater safety. Users can adjust the line's tension belt for better performance and extended belt life. The trimmer mower cuts a wide 22-inch swath and automatically turns off when idle, saving fuel and adding further safety. Powdercoat paint covers all metal parts for greater durability. The trimmer head is located on the left side of the mower while 14-inch wheels allow the trimmer mower to turn corners deftly while providing clearance in rougher terrain. To prevent debris from clustering around the machine, Swisher built a debris guard onto the rear of the trimmer mower. The Trim Max also benefits from easy care as all bearings are sealed, so there's no need for lubrication. The simple task of replacing the cutting line requires no tools, and the trimmer mower runs on regular unleaded gasoline.

What's in the Box
Mower, one container of engine oil, replacement trimmer line, and protective goggles.
