Proud Swisher employee of 19 years, thanks for bringing the family to the plant. It was nice to meet you. I love the channel and the content keep it up. Enjoy your new equipment!
Mr Derek when I have my scrapping days just like today we get scrap out of like construction dumpsters mostly for the number one and bear bright copper this afternoon while I was going through some of the scrap left over building materials the very first dumpster out of 15 and the great big White zip tie that you showed close to the 15:11 video clip I found around 50 unused still in the bag and for a bag of around 75 and we're talking about $150 per bag I really really enjoy doing what I do it reminds me of when you go out on new adventures and find some America's lost history that you bring back to life and save it from being lost forever I know you do have a real job from a few of your previous videos and as my father would always tell me that if you love your job and you love doing what you do at your job everyday dad always said as long as you enjoy what you do you never work a day in your life because you love doing what you do for work I love it that you created your own personal channel and you bring us along to enjoy the experience that you have with your family you are one amazing father Derek and and it's right yourself I want to thank your woman it is people like you that makes America great with that being said please for my late father I would love to see you fine a 1969 Chevy C10 and name it Roger in honor of my father he loved that truck more than he loved anything in this world besides mother and his children thank you for bringing us along and your journey
I skip 5 second ads wherever possible daily, but happily just watched a 35 minute advert for products I can't buy (UK). The power of Derek compels me. Amazing :)
Same here. A guy is sat in his house in England watching this cos....it's Derek. You just have to. And I absolutely love the patriotism they have in the US. As an Englishman I would be scorned for being outwardly patriotic. It's wrong, but that's the way it is. Please America - never change.
A gal really loves watching videos about machinery of any kind and REALLY wants ANY of those......but can't have anything as in the UK too, but I can love to watch. (same with all the old American trucks (my FAVOURITE) and old American cars (my husband's personal faves).
Derek nailed it. When was the last time we heard about a company whose employees have been there 20-30 years? The rookie has been there 11 years!! Keep up the great work Swisher!!
@@ladeseddy5994 unfortunately our government is working to put Remington and other US firearms manufacturers out of business. Our leadership for many years can’t relate to the American worker. Too many jobs allowed to be sent over seas.
It just goes to show how well the employees are treated at this company. An employee that's paid well and treated as an equal and as a friend regardless of position is gonna stay and work well.
I think Swisher made a great choice in deciding to partner with you. Plus, if you ever get tired of fixing up old cars you always can become a Swisher salesman. You knocked that out of the park.
I really love when a company has good values like this. Being able to buy parts for equipment that's 30+ years old is an absolute selling feature! I don't know how many things I've had to replace because we live in a disposable society.
Makes sense financially too. A lot of money to be made in parts. A lot of times I have to make parts to keep old rigs running and that's a lot of money the manufacturers are leaving on the table.
@@randr10 yeah but /they/ want you to just go buy a new one that'll wear out, so that way they can make a business model on expected reoccurring sales, that way the stock value goes up, so they can sell their stocks.
@@georgedavidson7986 they assemble them in the USA. From Asian parts, its been that way for years. Last American Harley was in 69. Every vehicle is domestic to the USA
Very thankful for the opportunity that you have been given 😎🤙💯.. You definitely deserve it. And a bigger thanks to this amazing company.. We love you around America.. You won't regret what you did 🇺🇸
Blessed for sure! I definitely wouldn't call it lucky though. He's busted his hind to get where he is. Sleepless nights editing videos, time away from the family building his brand and who knows what else. That kind of success only comes from determination. It's inspiring. Thanks Derek and family for sharing your journey with us!
@@wakeupamerica2971 I think you read to much into my comment. I wasn’t saying he got it all handed to him on a silver platter or downplaying the work he put in. I own two small businesses with my wife. Trust me I know what goes into it
@@carson2646 Reading into it maybe I suppose. It's just something I was taught. I've been through a few seminars where people teach never to call someone's success "lucky" because it can downplay the work they put into that success...leaving it to chance. To many, it implies that they just got lucky rather than diligently pursued and achieved their dreams. That moral has just stuck with me over the years. It's just semantics, really but I still try to say that they are blessed or fortunate rather than lucky bc to some, it does downplay their efforts when what I was really trying to do was offer a compliment on their successes. On that note, congrats on your businesses! Sincerely hope they're as fruitful as you dream them to be!
Love what your doing. Your so proud of your country your family and it’s just great to see how you roll. Your a kind man and just a sweet fella. it so nice to see you doing this kind of thing
Being a Gunsmith/Custom Rifle builder, i have a huge appreciation for Handmade/American Made equipment. When you see employees with that much time on the job and a company with that much time in the business and still thriving it means they are doing it right. I really like the fact that all work is done in house with good quality thick sheet steel and powder coated and hand crafted that is hand welded. It costs more for that but in a few years with proper care and maint. and stored indoors it will still be going strong and last a good long time. Unlike the cheaper stamp steel sheet metal Orange Chicken Specials available for less money. Buy once and cry once. I enjoyed the tour and look forward to more American Made Products being showcased in the future.
Most of my life mowers lasted 3/4 years top. Years ago you’d buy a Sears made in the USA it lasted forever. Now, I have even had a front end fall off a mower s few years back! Junk!!!
Both my father and I have Swisher pull behind finish mowers- Dad has the 60" and 66" for this feller... almost always used offset, fantastic beasts they are- and have held up great for more than a decade each.
It's good to see the Kawasaki engines on their products now instead of the B/S. B/S went downhill, in my opinion, when they got away from the L head engines.
You deserve the goodies bud, been making good content for years for the regular guy who hasn't got $150000 to spend on a car. Thank you for your commitment
Max Swisher is a legendary figure - he donated the airport the University of Central Missouri (Go Mules! Go Jennies!) use in their Aviation program in Warrensburg, Missouri. Terrific video featuring American designed and manufactured awesomeness!
It just goes to show how well the employees are treated at this company. An employee that's paid well and treated as an equal and as a friend regardless of position is gonna stay and work well.
Wish we could thank the team for taking the time to share the factory and finished products with us. Love seeing how parts and equipment are made like this, especially in an American company. They didn’t have to do that and I personally appreciate it.
Thank you Derek for always supporting and promoting American made products and companies. As a Texan, father of 6 boys and a proud patriot you are helping to keep American pride alive and well. Truly thankful for what you and your family do.
We need more companies, factories, manufacturers like this. Thank you Derrick and the family for bringing us all along and showing us a piece of our manufacturing history. Love it!!
This is so awesome! I had tears in my eyes seeing this awesome American company doing everything in house. I worked for a company for 35 years that did all in house too. This day in age this very rare. So proud of you for being an American Patriot. All I can say to everyone is buy American products when ever possible. Great great video 👍
When everything is done in house, the company controls their quality from start to finish. Definitely not much of that left out there anymore sadly. I was surprised that they have people doing the welding that they haven't automated it all.
When I was 18 months old my mom was mowing around a tree and didn’t see me, I wanted to ride with her on the riding mower. It was one of those Swisher Big Mow. She ran over me…. I am so lucky to have my right foot! Just a memory this video brought back.
Derrick, it never ceases to fascinate me, just how much your family supports the show. . You really have a bang up family. Now, I’ll tell you the advantage of powder coating. You want to completely seal the metal from the elements.? Powder coating does that. And it lasts for at least ten years. I have a patio set that was faded, so it was powder coated. Well it’s been in the sun and endured Louisiana weather for ten years and it hasn’t even faded.
All of your vidjas really touch my heart. My Dad’s gone awhile, Mom’s got the dementia, BUT !! Looking at you and the family brings back the feelings and times that we went on adventures such as this! Mom would pack lunches ( Buddig Meats , our favor - ite, for some reason), take out the O’l Thermos Jug, fill it with ice cold sweet tea, bring chips and such. Dad would always find a place to buy an ice cold wateemelon ( WITH SEEDS !!! ) , find a pickanick table some where, or pull over on the side of some nice road, eat lunch and spit seeds for deezert. Great Times! Great Stuff! Thank you Bieri Family !
I've got a 50's 3 wheel Ride King. It is a neat little unit. These guys still keep or can make parts for it in very little time. I bought a whole mess of stuff from them for it when I was restoring it last year.
What a great video. You hit it out of the park this time. Nice to see the 3 mini vice grips and the boss lady on the scene. Thanks for a tour of this AMERICAN 🇺🇸 FACILITY.
A guy sure does love seeing a bunch of Fellas and Fellets manufacturing machines in the USA. Thanks for sharing, Derek, Jessica, and the Triple B squad.
I have a 44 inch pull behind finish mower that I match up with my 50 inch rider. Mows great. Cuts my mowing time in half. Mow about 6 acres weekly. When i needed parts, i called Swisher. They directed me to where I could buy them locally. I appreciated that. Didnt need to wait for parts to be shipped.
Thank You Kindly Swisher Inc. , Derek, You Are More Than Deserving In My Opinion. You Bring So Much Entertainment and Knowledge To Your Viewers, We Are As Equally Lucky. Very Happy For You And The Family For Your Success, May There Be Many More Blessing To Come. Catch You On The Next One & Keep It Safe Out There!
You know, a guy don't have much use for machinery like that on my 1/10th acre farm here in the suburbs of So. Cal but I can appreciate how a fella could really put these fine tools to work on a larger property. Old school, hometown values and built by great people with a passion for quality equipment makes a guy's USA pride really happy. Thanks for sharing Derek.
If a guy can ever afford a homestead that would support machinery like that I would absolutely buy from Swisher. What a great vid to showcase their care & quality they put in to their product. Awesome stuff 👍
Its so good to see the VGG family reeling in the ol benefits of being a celebrity.. So cool to see one another treat each other so well ..This is hospitality and genuine great people ...Creator bless you all ✌
So happy to see you partnering up with a patriotic American company that looks after its employees as well as its customer's. Truly awesome. When I get down to the states and need a mower/tractor. I'll be sure to give them a call, cause if its good enough for you., it's good enough for me!
Had a great time on today's field trip. I really enjoyed watching the manufacturing sequence and process of the swisher product line. It looks like a well made USA 🇺🇸 product. Love that the family was involved and their interactions with the equipment. Yall keep up the great content
Yes, well made and built to last, they even have their own service center so you can save money for repairs. Crazy to see where my dad works on one of my favorite TH-cam channel.
What was the most impressive piece of equipment did you see today? VGG: A big white zip-tie !! Good on you bro, You Rock!!!! I can't wait to see it all up and running in action. I have an older zero turn, its nice but not as nice as the Swisher, lovin those joy sticks and deck lift, great interview and walk through of the plant. You can't beat, made in Amurica!!!
@@Bill-xc8le You're sacrificing a lot more, (more than you know), by bending over to let the Chinese give it to you up the tailpipe. Quality, warranty, after the sale service with parts availability for many many years to follow. When you buy American you are investing in yourself. But hey, learn Mandarin Chinese if you want to...
I really enjoy the family stuff that you and Jessica do. Family is important and God has surely Blessed you my friends. I pray that He Blesses you more and more everyday
I loved this show!!! It's no wonder they've been in business since the forties, these mowers and cutters simply rule!!! Loved the manufacturing side as well, it's amazing how they are built, and the quality is second to none! All of America should be proud! Looks like the fam had a great time to, can't wait to see a lot l of your new machines in action! Right on Derek, thanks for making this!!
These things are built like TANKS! So good to have a company building and servicing their product for life. Buy a Swisher, you will have a Swisher forever.
I grew up mowing lawns with my parents, it was something we did on the weekend for extra money. I've always had a interest in mowers and knew nothing about Swisher.. so I find this episode very intriguing!
Derek, You are teaching the boys a great lesson by taking them to the plant where they make the equipment you use. They are also learning the importance of Made in the USA! I take my kids on factory tours when we can find one on vacation. The Harley Davidson Plant in YORK, PA is great but they have to be 16 years old to tour.
I’m sold! When the kids get out of the house in 5 years and we make our way out of Killyalifornia this will be perfect for keeping the property maintained and save my back.
@@Bill-xc8le I bet you love making excuses to buy from China and India because what you are actually saying is, “I don’t support American manufacturing.” Leave…United States doesn’t need you.
I used to do IT for a sheet metal fab shop in the Bay Area. It unfortunately closed. A guy in Toronto got a screaming deal on their brand new fiber laser. Good to see companies like this still manufacturing in the US.
This format needs to be done more often, showcase more of the great quality of people and equipment made right here in our great country. I'm already browsing their selection of mowers before the video was even done since I'm in the market thanks to your video.
Wow how thoughtful !!!! They have an air compressor in the employee parking lot so if when you leave work and you have a low tire or flat . What a great idea !!! Just little things like that prove they are a great company.
As a retired GM Factory Rat, I really appreciate a clean manufacturing facility. As a Machine Repairman... Clean work areas mean less down time. A guy that loves his work and metal working equipment.. I gotta say this company TRULY cares and has great pride for their product. From one wrench bender to another, Derek... Thanks for sharing and Swisher... Thanks for the tour!
Proud Swisher employee of 19 years, thanks for bringing the family to the plant. It was nice to meet you. I love the channel and the content keep it up. Enjoy your new equipment!
Our pleasure! Nice to meet all of you as well
Gary your company is JUST what this country needs!
Proud of you guys for making it in America
Amen! Gotta feel proud for working for a company that makes their products in the US of A

About time someone took the time to highlight American Made quality again! Good going Derek and family!
Maybe a different manufacturer every 90 days. Or so, highlighting local AMERICAN MADE equipment, etc...... just saying
I skip 5 second ads wherever possible daily, but happily just watched a 35 minute advert for products I can't buy (UK).
The power of Derek compels me. Amazing :)
A guy can complain... nope!
I hate to promote TH-cam premium but the creator gets paid and get ad free watching. It's worth it imo. You'd do better to buy a hat or shirt.
Same here. A guy is sat in his house in England watching this cos....it's Derek. You just have to.

Derek nailed it. When was the last time we heard about a company whose employees have been there 20-30 years? The rookie has been there 11 years!! Keep up the great work Swisher!!
Remington Arms has had that type of employee service for over 200 years and still do.

Agreed. Tours of home grown businesses with Derek are a blast.
Totally agree.
@@aspalovin today we're gonna tour this factory, and if everything works out, we're gonna drive it 600 miles home.
Ok, Derek, make it happen err

Best 35 min infomercial I've ever watched! Props to USA jobs! Bring back American manufacturing! Thank you Swisher Inc.! Buy American!
Nice to hear of a USA based company that is still in business and is employing the local community in that area.
Need more of this...
Hard to do when we have an administration who hates America. We need a president who supports American jobs.
We need a LOT more of this in America today...

Very Happy For You And The Family For Your Success, May There Be Many More Blessing To Come. Catch You On The Next One & Keep It Safe Out There!
Wow nice stuff. It does my heart good to see Americans making the best stuff right here in the USA. The way it should be.
You know, a guy don't have much use for machinery like that on my 1/10th acre farm here in the suburbs of So. Cal but I can appreciate how a fella could really put these fine tools to work on a larger property. Old school, hometown values and built by great people with a passion for quality equipment makes a guy's USA pride really happy. Thanks for sharing Derek.
If a guy can ever afford a homestead that would support machinery like that I would absolutely buy from Swisher. What a great vid to showcase their care & quality they put in to their product. Awesome stuff 👍
Its so good to see the VGG family reeling in the ol benefits of being a celebrity.. So cool to see one another treat each other so well ..This is hospitality and genuine great people ...Creator bless you all ✌
I love it when a guy works for a company and he loves what he does. THAT makes going to work fun.
I live near Swisher here in Missouri. I can tell you they are all about quality, and a great employer.
I get a kick out of listening as to how the "lady" employees talk just like the men who work there...Mid-West Macho, I call it.
So happy to see you partnering up with a patriotic American company that looks after its employees as well as its customer's. Truly awesome. When I get down to the states and need a mower/tractor. I'll be sure to give them a call, cause if its good enough for you., it's good enough for me!
Had a great time on today's field trip. I really enjoyed watching the manufacturing sequence and process of the swisher product line. It looks like a well made USA 🇺🇸 product. Love that the family was involved and their interactions with the equipment. Yall keep up the great content
Yes, well made and built to last, they even have their own service center so you can save money for repairs. Crazy to see where my dad works on one of my favorite TH-cam channel.
Great to see a thriving US manufacturing company and the processes they use 👍
What was the most impressive piece of equipment did you see today?
VGG: A big white zip-tie !!
Good on you bro, You Rock!!!! I can't wait to see it all up and running in action. I have an older zero turn, its nice but not as nice as the Swisher, lovin those joy sticks and deck lift, great interview and walk through of the plant. You can't beat, made in Amurica!!!
ALL of it, I LOVED those panic rooms. But all that zip tie was AMAZING.....I don't think I've EVER seen a zip tie that long! :O
It's Great to see something still made in the USA! God Bless America!
Now that’s AMERICAN quality there. Thanks for taking us along. Peace
Yep with a big old American price tag to go along with it.
@@Bill-xc8le You're sacrificing a lot more, (more than you know), by bending over to let the Chinese give it to you up the tailpipe.
Quality, warranty, after the sale service with parts availability for many many years to follow.
When you buy American you are investing in yourself.
But hey, learn Mandarin Chinese if you want to...
@@randallsmerna384 I never said anything about China or not buying American.
I have worked at a factory before. Mind-numbing boredom praying for Friday. Rinse and repeat.
The smile on the boy's face during his test ride was priceless. Once we move to a new place with some land I'll be looking into a Swisher mower.
Thanks Derek. Living proof that we CAN build things here in the USA!!
Thats AWESOME that they let yall try them out.. even the little humans!!Wow
I really enjoy the family stuff that you and Jessica do. Family is important and God has surely Blessed you my friends. I pray that He Blesses you more and more everyday
I loved this show!!!
It's no wonder they've been in business since the forties, these mowers and cutters simply rule!!!
Loved the manufacturing side as well, it's amazing how they are built, and the quality is second to none!
All of America should be proud!
Looks like the fam had a great time to, can't wait to see a lot l of your new machines in action!
Right on Derek, thanks for making this!!
These things are built like TANKS! So good to have a company building and servicing their product for life. Buy a Swisher, you will have a Swisher forever.
I grew up mowing lawns with my parents, it was something we did on the weekend for extra money. I've always had a interest in mowers and knew nothing about Swisher.. so I find this episode very intriguing!
Being I'm a Machine Mechanic, This is awesome, thank you Derek and Family.
What a way to wake up today ,VGL Best content on You Tube. Just like VGG
A man really loves his Kawasaki driven mower. Best I've owned. Glad to see companies , like Swisher , support TH-camrs. You will do them well!
And, all Kawaski powerplants Derek is using are made in Missouri !!!
Loving the “might could”. Bless his heart...
God Bless the USA!!!! Very happy to see we still have a start to finish, American made product.
Very Well Deserved Brother Derek an Family… Y’all are Thee American Family… Salute
Thank you for showing an American local company getting it done the right way.
We need to support companies like this. Thanks for showing us, its sometimes hard to know what is made in the USA these days.
So great to see QUAILTY MADE IN THE USA machines!!
Thank you Derrick👍
Bring your kid to work day is almost everyday for Derek :D that's cool!
God bless The U.S Of A.
Warms my heart here in London England .
Thanks Derek & family & Swisher .
That all in one stand behind looked like my cup o tea. Could have some fun with that unit.
Derek, You are teaching the boys a great lesson by taking them to the plant where they make the equipment you use. They are also learning the importance of Made in the USA!
I take my kids on factory tours when we can find one on vacation. The Harley Davidson Plant in YORK, PA is great but they have to be 16 years old to tour.
God bless those HARD working Americans!🇺🇸💪
I’m sold! When the kids get out of the house in 5 years and we make our way out of Killyalifornia this will be perfect for keeping the property maintained and save my back.
Good ol Made In The USA product. Can’t beat it!
I bet that good ol made in the usa prouduct will beat your wallet to hell as well, unless you make videos and get them for free.
@@Bill-xc8le I bet you love making excuses to buy from China and India because what you are actually saying is, “I don’t support American manufacturing.”
Leave…United States doesn’t need you.
@UCEEIfSsDFvyKKwuJ17Vw7Tw aren’t you just a bowl of giggles. I bet you voted for ChinaBiden. FOH
@@dordtrecht5 Lol!! Oh those vitamins to get your man hood back is making you awfully cocky and mean Dally!
@@Bill-xc8le yours are making you stupid. Your jealousy is getting you nowhere in this conversation.
Highlight of an American hands on company by an American hands on family that can be you ,me or our neighbors…OUTSTANDING!!!
I used to do IT for a sheet metal fab shop in the Bay Area. It unfortunately closed. A guy in Toronto got a screaming deal on their brand new fiber laser. Good to see companies like this still manufacturing in the US.
Everything in this video makes me proud, amazing company and people.
This format needs to be done more often, showcase more of the great quality of people and equipment made right here in our great country. I'm already browsing their selection of mowers before the video was even done since I'm in the market thanks to your video.
Amen we need to highlight companies that are USA Proud and do for their workers as this company proudly shows.
Wow how thoughtful !!!! They have an air compressor in the employee parking lot so if when you leave work and you have a low tire or flat . What a great idea !!! Just little things like that prove they are a great company.
this should be a show, "Manufacturing in the United States with Derek"
Of all the Swisher named products the Outdoor Power Equipment is my favorite. Thanks for the tour Derek!
The best show I've seen in a while, love this kinda thing.
As a retired GM Factory Rat, I really appreciate a clean manufacturing facility. As a Machine Repairman... Clean work areas mean less down time. A guy that loves his work and metal working equipment.. I gotta say this company TRULY cares and has great pride for their product. From one wrench bender to another, Derek... Thanks for sharing and Swisher... Thanks for the tour!
Very pleased you took note Sir... And you are correct on all counts.
WOW!!! That place was really cool!!
