Upgrade your outdoor equipment with professional-grade automation using the Swisher Professional Linear Actuator Collection a comprehensive dual-option solution engineered to deliver powerful, precise electric linear motion control for virtually any agricultural, landscaping, or utility application. Designed for farmers, ranchers, property managers, and equipment operators who demand versatility and reliability, these premium 12-volt DC linear actuators offer two distinct configurations to match your specific load requirements and stroke distance needs.
Model 19957 features a heavy-duty 20:1 gear ratio with precision ACME screw drive and 6-inch stroke length, generating an impressive 1,500 pounds of pushing and pulling force ideal for demanding applications like heavy-duty snow plow blade positioning, commercial mower deck height control, large implement angle adjustment, and robust gate automation. Model 19368 delivers a balanced 10:1 gear ratio with extended 8-inch stroke length and 1,000 pounds of force perfect for applications requiring longer travel distances such as spreader chute control, dump bed lifting, adjustable hitch systems, and equipment with greater range-of-motion requirements.
Both actuators integrate seamlessly with standard 12-volt DC electrical systems found on ATVs, UTVs, compact tractors, and utility vehicles, eliminating the complexity and maintenance headaches of hydraulic systems. No pumps, hoses, or fluid changes required just clean, quiet, reliable electric power. Installation is straightforward with universal mounting hardware included, allowing quick integration into existing equipment or custom fabrication projects. The weather-sealed construction withstands mud, moisture, dust, salt, and temperature extremes, ensuring dependable performance through years of outdoor service.
Who This Is For: Essential for property owners operating ATV/UTV implements, small-scale farmers automating manual equipment, landscaping contractors managing professional-grade attachments, snow removal operators upgrading blade control systems, DIY enthusiasts building custom agricultural machinery, and equipment manufacturers seeking reliable OEM automation components. These actuators excel in any application requiring remote-controlled positioning, hands-free operation, and repeatable precision.
Power Requirements: Both models operate on standard 12-volt DC electrical systems commonly found on ATVs, UTVs, lawn tractors, and compact equipment (typically requiring equipment with 10-25 HP engines equipped with alternator charging systems). No hydraulic pump, external power source, or voltage converters needed.
Unique Benefits: Choose the right actuator for your application select the 1,500 lb model for maximum force in heavy-duty applications with shorter stroke needs, or opt for the 1,000 lb model when extended 8-inch travel distance is essential. Unlike hydraulic cylinders that leak, require maintenance, and need expensive pumps, these electric linear actuators offer zero-fluid operation with self-locking ACME screw technology that holds position without continuous power draw. Compact dimensions fit tight mounting spaces, universal brackets adapt to countless applications, and precision control delivers consistent results whether you're leveling a blade, adjusting cutting height, or controlling discharge gates. The sealed motor and gear housing require minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and long-term operating costs while delivering hydraulic-like performance with electrical system convenience.

I've started using the mulcher I on several parcels of land 10 acres . I have grind down a couple of 14 inch stumps. Caution the mount bracket behind the mulcher motor exhaust gets extremely hot even with gloves on . But the unit so far seems to works very good it's well put together.

The Firminator G3 is s heavy duty quality machine. The discs worked extremely well and planting and culti-packing is very smooth and easy. Working with Dillon at Ripping It Outdoors was a very good experience and seamless transaction.
This is a game changer if you have .assive amounts of leaves to blow out into the timber! I have a Cyclone vac that I will use very little now.
Haven't used box scraper as much as I would like, due to a lot of rain. When I did use it worked like I wanted it to.
Product was fairly priced and they delivered it quickly.
Totally dig this forestry mulcher! It’s a true beast that munches up stumps and trees

The week before leaving for my mule deer hunt in Wyoming, I seeded the area surrounding the new runway at Wertheimer Airport in Norman. This past Tuesday, I returned to finish the job and was pleased to see that the seed I planted just two weeks earlier was already germinating and coming up nicely. These pictures show the freshly seeded areas alongside those planted two weeks ago. It’s a great comparison and a good example of what proper seedbed preparation and planting can accomplish. I used my Ferminator G-3, which is one impressive piece of equipment. It prepares the seedbed, plants the seed, smooths the soil, and firms everything up for good seed-to-soil contact—all in one efficient operation. I’ve owned and operated several no-till drills over the years, but I can say without hesitation that the Ferminator is the most efficient and versatile seeding machine I’ve ever owned. There’s something pretty satisfying about returning to a job and seeing those first green shoots coming through the ground. That’s when you know your hard work is paying off!
Pulls 100% better no sway and puts tongue weight over the axle

Great machine. Working with Dillon was awesome. Even made me a custom mount for my Polaris.
Just got my Buffalo Turbine! Love it. Took a little bit to get used to getting the right angle for the nozzle, but not a problem. Side note, works much better if the frame is level as much as possible. Love it! Gary Haddock
Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops. Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.

After spending way to much money for forest mulching services I discovered this wonderful machine. It's not a giant powerhouse forest mulcher, but it does everything a property owner needs to maintain a forested property. I wish I would have found it sooner.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but it has proven to be a strong, durable, and terribly useful tool for clearing what I needed to clear. Thank you!
Works great and its easy to use.

The Firminator is well built and functions well. I am having some trouble while planting mixed size seeds. Next time out I’ll try setting it so only the smaller seeds drop out the open it up for the larger seeds.
easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.
The Firmanator works great very well built .I am very happy I made this purchase.
This trap seems to be kinda hard to set off.
Works excellent and is very well made.
Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.
My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.
Great piece of equipment. Performs far better than I expected. One piece of advice - if property is significantly overgrown, consider the tractor attachment first to bring down the over growth and then switch to the UTV attachment to maintain property. No complaints worked perfectly.
Ordered a 36” clean out bucket for my mini excavator. Love it, welds are great. Works as it should.
Showed up on time and I will be using it to put in 15 acres of food plots in this weekend!
Very pleased. Product was better than anticipated and is working well. I expect the 2000lb feeders to last at least a decade based on my use with cattle. If feeding wild game would likely last a lifetime with minimal maintenance.

I like the mudder shoes. Looking forward to using them!

Works as expected
seeds come out way to fast at lowest setting when planting alfalfa literally the only reason I bought it now I can't even use it and I can't return it so I'm stuck with it for the price you pay you would think it would work!
It’s built solid. It handles Field grass hip high pretty well. With the maintaining the field grass after the first cut, the pasture field is starting to look like a lawn. The 84 inch with the best thing to get for 8 acres. It’s best to order belts for back up in the event if the belts were to break. But overall, I like the product quality is good.

Definitely a better unit than you can find locally. I've ran several spreaders. This is by far the best.
When I think of ripping it outdoors something else comes to mind, but I digress. This spreader is awesome. Works like a champ. The hopper is big enough to do my 1 acre lot for my applications. Just load once and go. I would highly recommend this spreader. It saves a ton of time and is a quality product.
the way it was built is hefty and looks to be easy to operate
