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
th
century’s top
household inventions.
Swisher offers value and function in its products to meet your grounds maintenance
needs.
