SWISHER HISTORY
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 60
years later, Swisher Mower and Machine Company, Inc. 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 Ma_azine, 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 th century's top household inventions.
Swisher offers value and function in its products to meet your grounds maintenance needs.
