Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was producing 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 circled the tree, shortening the rope and guiding the mower in concentric

circles. Max enjoyed relaxing under 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, over 70 years later, Swisher is still producing innovative 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 programs 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 grounds maintenance

needs.
