The Swisher 50-inch 23 HP zero turn radius tractor offers easy handling and great maneuverability to make mowing around trees, shrubs and obstacles a breeze. Swisher's generous cutting width makes short order of the biggest mowing jobs, and the 50-inch mowing deck is equipped with a 23 HP Briggs & Stratton Extended Life Series engine, plus a padded high-back seat with arm rests. It also features 8 cutting height settings (1-1/2 to 5 inches), spring-assisted deck lift, easy-access belt components, and a pivoting front axle for level cutting over any terrain.

Experienced Swisher ZT2350 review
»
I have owned my Swisher ZT2350 for about 18 months. I mow about 1 1/4 acres and use the trailer hitch on it to pull a 17 cu Ft trailer. It works great and has been reliable. I bouhgt it because of the heavy duty steel construction, the powerful B&S ELS engine and the trailer hitch (not all have one) - It is really built rugged, mostly steel plates bolted together. I was sick of plastic housings & parts wearing out, cracking & breaking. In this respect, you can't beat this mower. I use it relentlessly almost daily and it has been relatively trouble free. I did have to replace the starter solenoid after about 17 months, but I start & stop it frequently when using it as a landscaping tractor, so I guess that isn't too bad. The only complaints I have are 1.The parking brake is a pretty crappy design, hard to set at times, and prone to sheared teeth & damage. They need to switch it from a toothed to a band type design. 2.The hand crank for raising & lowering the deck is slow & clumsey to operate. They need to redesign this into a simple latching foot lever so it can be easily raised & lowered on the move. These have been minor annoyances compared to the overall usability of the product.
The parts are generally easy to remove, buy & replace. The Swisher folks have been absolutey great to deal with. Resonable prices, and quick. I ordered spare belts and mulching blades and they arrived by mail promptly. This is a first rate company with first rate products - I shopped extensively before buying and believe this is truely the best value for the money you can get in a zero turn mower/tractor!. I have also done some design work on it, adding a 42" snow blower attachment for winter use - It works like a charm and where I live, this is a really big deal in terms of saving cost, space and getting your $ worth from your tools. I would recommend the ZT2350 to anyone. It is one of the best values I have found in years. (and as a design engineer, I can be pretty critical of mechanical designs!)

Swisher ZT2350 Review
»
Product was delivered in less than one week. We uncrated it and it was just about ready to go. We love it. It took just a little time to get used to learning how to drive it, but after that it was great. We have 4 acres of ground, and bought it mainly because it elimated all the triming around pine trees, etc. One word of caution. We have a slope and unless the grass is completly dry do not try to take it down a hill because they will slide and are next to impossible to stop. All in all I will say we are more than pleased, and we are glad we made the purchase.

50-Inch 23 HP Zero-Turn

The Swisher tractor has been easy to use and also saves me time cutting my 3 acre front and back yard. A much improvement over my 48" Sears GT300 garden tractor. A satisfied customer.

Swisher ZT2350 is a very impressive machine
»
I've got 1/2 an acre to mow, and I usually mulched it using my old push-mower.
This typically took between 1-3 hours depending on the length of the grass and how many times I needed to go over the same rows to grind up sporadic clumps of grass. I needed something to get the job done quicker, with a quality cut, and which mulches nicely without any clumping.
There were very few reviews I was able to dig up anywhere on the internet wrt the ZT2350, so I went in somewhat blind with this purchase.
My Swisher ZT2350 arrived today, and was lifted off the truck and rolled up the length of my driveway from the street in its wooden crate without any problems. Roughly an hour later I had finished mowing my 1/2 acre lawn in its entirety (40 minutes to get it out of the crate and started, 20 minutes to mow the entire lawn).
As a previous owner of a Sears Craftsman 11HP lawn tractor and a long line of push mowers, this is the most impressive lawn mowing machine I've ever seen and used. It's very high quality, is very powerful, and my lawn has never looked better after a fresh cut. Granted, I've only owned this thing for a few hours, but I'd recommend the ZT2350 to anyone looking in this price range for a zero-turn mower.

Great mower
»
Great deal, but Amazon doesn't tell you that when it is delivered, you are responsible for getting the 700 lb mower off the 4 1/2 ft high truck it comes on. We had to borrow a roll-back wrecker, which worked perfect.
