60 inch swisher finish mower

Where are you located? My dad is selling his offset swisher. Always mowed good behind his gt. Maryland

my neighbor had the 60" with 4 wheels, sounds like a decent price.
I sold my 44" (10 horse)for $400 to a friend, I used it to cut atv trails on our other 200 acres (2-3' weeds) worked fine even though it was a finish mower.
Sometimes I wish that I had kept it to off set from my tractor.

Yeah I hope it works out, he is asking 500 or b/o. I hope to get it for 400.

I had a 60" and used it for years. It had plenty of power and cut great. Remember you are only turning the blades. Not pushing the tractor and turning the blades. No power is lost propelling the tractor. I sold mine for $500 when I bought a zt.

Didn't get a chance today but I'm headed to look at it tomorrow. Can it be loaded in a ford ranger or should I bring a trailer it weighs almost 500 pounds.

They aren't just heavy but big = wider than cutting width w. wheels. I carried my 44" trail mower (finish type) in my truck & off-loaded it alone but a chore. My 44" rough cutter is far heavier & tough to pull onto a 5' trailer with wheel offset as width is 5'!

I'd take a trailer w/o sides.

I have 2 of them that I tow behind a Woods 60" finish mower hooked up to my BX2660. I cut about 10 acres with them. They have 13.5 Briggs on them. Had the safety switchs come loose on both but no big issues.

I had a 60" Swisher that I pulled behind my ZTR in my big open areas. I want to say that it only had a 12 or 13hp motor on it and it cut great. I think you will be plenty happy. I was able to mow wide open on the ztr, about 10mph and it always cut well and never bogged down. Now of course if you are cutting grass that is thick and tall you might have to slow it down a little.
