Anyone with experience with the Bush Hog Brand GPF 50 self powered 8hp flail mowers that you pull behind an ATV? Thinking of buying one but not sure if it would work. I'm just wanting to cut grass with it. fwiw Thanks George

Based on my personal experience...if it says "SWISHER" anywhere on it, run the other way. Their stuff is junk. I would never buy another Swisher product...I don't think they could build a hammer that works.

Mustangsallysday what Swisher product did you own? I read your post last week when looking for a zero turn mower and decided against going with a Swisher initially. After more research I found many to say Swisher products tend to work well and are locally built using standard bearings, etc making them easy to service.
In the end we bought a 2010 Swisher ZT2760B mower from a guy that parked it after putting 27 hours on it. After using it for two hours yesterday I saw I was not going to be able to use it too because I was not strong enough to push the right control forward for long periods of time.
Last night I emailed Swisher customer service about the issue and received a reply back today along with a marketed up color photo with arrows to what needed to be adjusted and with text boxes telling how to do it that the rep created just for me. He also attached a 'repair' manual for the entire mower.
The seller purchased another zero turn mower that sold for 250% more from a local dealer vs. buying it off the web from a remote dealer.
Could you provide what product you are slamming and what brand you then went with that worked well so we can better be aware of what to look out for.
