SWISHER HISTORY

Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was p

roducing lawn mowers from

his mother

’s chicken house. Max never liked to mow grass. He installed a gearbox on his

family

’s lawn mower creating a self-propelled unit. By tying one end of a rope to the mower and

the other end to a tree in the center of the yard the mower circ

led the tree, shortening the rope and

guiding the mower in concentric circles. Max enjoyed relaxing un

der a shade tree while his

invention did all the work.

Max had designed his first self

-propelled rotary lawn mower to do his dirty work for him.

Neighbors noticed his new invention and began asking him to make

more. Today, 60 years later,

Swisher Mower and Machine Company, Inc. is still producing innov

ative lawn and garden and

ATV/UTV equipment designed to give us all more

“relaxing in the shade” time.

Swisher products have been featured nationally on television pro

grams such as Regis and Kathie

Lee and seen in publications like

ATV Magazine, Country Journal, Popular Mechanics Magazine

and others. In January 2000

Popular Mechanics Magazine named Max’s zero turning radius

riding mower one of the 20

century’s top household inventions.

Swisher offers value and function in its products to meet your g

rounds maintenance needs.
