Email it to me and I'll post it for you Ed.

I have never seen one that I know of. I did see a mower that had 2 wheels, sort of like the Hustler one, but this one was red. Does anyone know what it is?

 

The reason you could not post this, it was 940 K, which is huge. I reduced it to 45 K and here it is.

 

Thanks,
I sent ya the BIG one

 

i posted about these a while ago,seems you don't hear much about them,everyone is into dixie or exmark --blah blah blah etc.i spoke to the co. 2 years ago only problem there is no dealer in my area.if you want to see a cool mower check out the Dyna-Mow,40 hp yanmar diesel ,joystick control,fully hydo-(deck lift,blade spindles etc)this is quite the mowing machine.should run circles around the "big three's" crap mowers anyday.

 

My brother used to work at a mower shop and they had one come in. It had a 25 kohler on it a seemed to be way under powered. The pumps and all the moving parts used nearly all the hp. Wasn't much left for the deck. the guy that had though loved it.

 

A friend of mine uses a Schweiss on his farm here in Illinois. He's had it around ten years. It is a belly mount, steers with a joystick, is green in color, and has a Briggs & Stratton engine.

 

why exactly does it have just one steering lever, or is it supposed to be that way?

 

I would like to see it mow 2 foot tall grass clean in one pass. That is nearly impossible for a finish mower to do. I guess is probably would if you creeped at about a half mile hour or less and even then you would have trouble. If they have the front edge of the deck higher than the blade it would help but I don't think they have that. That is a pretty bold statement. I guess I would have to believe it to see it.

our local d/c dealer sells schweiss and I tried a 30hp yanmar 72" cut and it will take tall wet grass extremly well. The only problems that we had was the overall size of the machine and it was a mid-mount. but the other problem is has no stripping ability. It's great for field mowing. By the way scweiss was sold out to B&H manufacturing.

 

Here is there website......

Its not to helpful though............

 

Vipermanz - the joystick control is like computer games; one stick controls both drive wheels - Snapper also uses this setup, you can do a search to find more comments about it.

 

man, that is one heck of a big / ugly mower.

 

I toyed around with one of their Z's when I was in KY. Not bad, it was built like a tank. There diesel seems to be a fair deal, and the prices are comparable to Kubota. Here are the prices (adobe) for the Gas models. http://www.bhmfg.com/mower price list.pdf

 

there is a pic of a schweiss in the recent turf mag

 

ohhhh like a joystick, i thought that might have been a broken one

My deere can handle 2 foot tall grass just fine@2-3 mph

 

We had a schweiss 5O inch deck 20 hp kohler loved the mower when we sold it the hr meter showed lil over 11 thousand hours on it we had did nothing to it but put 3 new motors on it and you can mow alot of grass in 11 thousand hours it would run 16 mph on the flat we took used to be dealer for it and would go to shows and demo for ppl we could mow faster than most ppl could road there mower down the road and yes it will mow any thing hit a logg chain broke the blade in half hit a rock threw it threw the siding on a house loved the mower by far the best ever i picked up 3 of them in jackson mn 3 yrs ago

 

Now they are the YardShark mower! I have a diesel powerd machine it is tough!

 

my uncle had a schweiss like 15 years ago. Was a cool deal with that joystick...at a time when we were using lawn tractors to mow at the farm, my uncle had a very innovative machine.....

 

Wow your first post on Lawnsite and it was searched from the archives and it was mine. I remember posting this, now I have to go look for that flyer. I remember that it was all black and said SCHWEISS in big letters. This post also has my good friend ERIC ELM in it. For those of you who are new, do a search on Eric. He is a big reason this site became so great. Say a prayer for him.
Thanks for the memories and the info on Schweiss. I am still thinking there are some of these out there. Take care.

 

I have a very good friend that has a frontcut schweiss diesel! He really likes it!

 

I have one of the 72" yammers use it to cut about 200 acres 4-5 times a summer. Really like the one joystick as opposed to two. Don't have to stop every time you have to wipe sweat from your eyes or take a drink of.... soda. Hard to get parts. Local john deere dealer is pretty good about cross referencing parts but I'm afraid someday i will break something i can't find a new one of.

 

"Yes, I have one." And it still runs! I bought it a year ago from a 'lil ol lady who bought it back in '88. I am trying to order replacement parts through B&H so it makes it not only to mine but the next '88. Talk about an easy to maintain head turner. Even with horrible blades it still cuts decent. 2ft grass with dull blades, I took'r slow and it didn't even bog down the engine. You might say ugly, I'm just gonna say sweet.
