Our Products

Even before electricity came to rural Missouri, Max Swisher was busy at work, producing "handmade" lawn mowers from inside his mother`s chicken coop.

The truth is, Max never cared for mowing grass. What he did enjoy was using his creativity to invent easier ways to do things!

Max cleverly installed a gearbox on the family lawn mower creating a self-propelled mower. He then went about trying one end of a long rope to his new self-propelled mower, and the other end to a tree growing in the center of the yard that needed mowing.

Eureka! Max`s new mower circled the tree, shortening the rope with each pass and guiding the mower in perfectly concentric circles.

Meanwhile, Max enjoyed his afternoon relaxing under a nearby shade tree while his invention did all the work!

Max had designed the first self-propelled rotary lawn mower. Neighbors noticed his new invention and began asking him to make more self-propelled mowers. That was the humble beginning of the Swisher brand that has been in business since 1945!
