Great mower - if you have smooth ground!,
August 18, 2008
By Laner from Cologne, MN
"I would like to have rated the mower higher because I love the zero turn radius, the fact that I can mow at a higher rate of speed, and the fact that it cut my mowing time almost in half. But, it doesn't handle bumpy ground very well, even at slower rates of speed. Add to that (and it may only be a quirk for my mower), that I had a throttle cable break early on (which I easily fixed myself) and then the drive belt broke after about two-and-a-half monthes of use. As of this writing, I am still waiting for that to be repaired, as it has been in the shop at Northern for close to a month - they said that they are still waiting for parts from Swisher, which they told me has been an ongoing problem when I first brought the mower in to be repaired. Certainly something to consider."

Swisher Ride King Zero-Turn Mower ZT2352,
April 21, 2008
By Opah from Round Rock, TX
"The Ride King is the perfect mower for a moderate to large area with trees and
shrubs. The Zero-Turn feature allows precise cutting around all obstacles.
A 1-1/2 in. to 5 in. cutting height guarantees a lush lawn. Also the 52 in width makes entry through a 5 ft. Gate a breeze.
The 23 hp. ELS V-twin engine and dual fuel tanks plus large drive wheels combine with the electric transmision to afford all the power and fuel to complete a very large task with little effort.
This is my kind of machine. I would recommend it to everyone planning to purchase a Zero-Turn mower."
