Tools and Hardware Reviews of Swisher RTB12544 44-Inch 12.5 HP TrailcutterCustomer Review: Excellent Product Summary: 5 Stars
Overall this is an excellent product. I haven't had any of the belt problems that "A home improvement enthusiast" mentioned in his review. As far as getting it off the pallet, I just used the boards that I cut off the top and sides of the crate that it came in as ramps to wheel it down, so no problem there either. The thing is a bit heavy and awkward to move around on your own, either backing up or pushing the atv to the mower makes this a non-issue.
I used this all last summer and fall to cut down 5 acres of rough brush and overgrowth, sometimes over 5 feet tall, and it didn't bog down once on me. The only problem I had was the height adjustment bolt seized up on me, and I broke the adjustment handle trying to get it loose. Swisher sent me a new one free (under warranty), and now I just spray the bolt with wd-40 after every use.
For the price, you can't beat what this thing can do. If money isn't an object though, you may want to look into the Acrease rough cut, with a 60in. deck and a more powerful motor that enables faster cutting speeds. Expect to spend at least $3K for it though. The Swisher served me well all last summer, and it started right back up again this spring and is still going strong.
