Country Clipper Years of Innovation

When you mow with Country Clipper, you’ll never be overmatched again. No lawn is too big, too hilly or too tree covered. That’s because for 40 years, we’ve focused on innovative features that help you conquer every square inch.

1984

Shivvers Manufacturing, Inc., of Corydon, IA, a world leader in counter-flow grain drying equipment for farming, expands to include the Country Clipper division of zero-turn mowers. Yard work is never the same.

1989

Country Clipper introduces the lawn and garden industry’s first joystick-operated zero-turn mower. Suddenly, mowing is like a live-action game disguised as a chore.

1998

It’s a chore to clean your mower deck. Unless you have a Country Clipper. With our maintenance-friendly stand-up deck, you just flip it up, remove grass clippings and you’ll be inside the house relaxing in no time. 

2020

We introduced the Contour DTS™ with pivoting front axle on select models. It pivots and contours to your yard on uneven terrain, ensuring your cut stays consistent even when your landscape isn’t. All four wheels stay on the ground, which is important when you’re using a machine with super-sharp spinning blades.

WHY COUNTRY CLIPPER?

MOW SMARTER. NOT HARDER.

First, Country Clipper had a passion: “How do you make mowing easier?”

Then a plan.

Contry Clipper gives you a free hand for clearing branches, keep the cut consistent even on uneven terrain and make a maintenance-friendly stand-up deck. Contry Clipper even rethought where the gas tank should go.

We designed our mowers to tackle any obstacle imaginable. Doing things differently—doing things better—is the reason behind decades of innovation at Country Clipper.

THE JOYSTICK

Point, go and conquer with our exclusive joystick steering. Since 1989, Country Clipper been making yard work a true joyride. This one-handed control frees up your other hand to brush away low-hanging tree limbs, enjoy a cold drink or wave to your adoring family. 

The Twin-Lever Steering System

Country Clipper believes every operator should have the freedom to choose how they want to steer. Our twin-lever gives you precise, zero-turn control that keeps you moving over all types of terrain. 

The Stand-Up Deck

Mowing is messy. That’s why Country Clipper invented the patented stand-up deck. Now it’s easier to clean, change blades or dislodge an errant dog toy.  Go from mowing to maintenance in less than 60 seconds.

The ContourDTS™ – Pivoting Front Axle

Glide across your lawn effortlessly thanks to a central pivoting front axle that absorbs bumps, dips and imperfections along the way. An independently suspended deck helps the mower track the contour of the ground. Even as the terrain changes, all four tires stay planted on the yard. You’re not only more comfortable, but your grass is cut perfectly. 

The Comfy Ride

The enhanced-comfort seats can make you forget you’re even doing yard work.

The Durable Deck

Rugged to the core and built with heavy-duty spindles, Country Clipper decks are built to survive even the most demanding yard conditions. Saying they’re tough is an understatement. Welded steel decks with laminate reinforcement and a triangular front bullnose (on select models) can withstand the rigors of any job.

The Overall Stability

Designed with a low center of gravity, Count Clipper traction is unparalleled in the industry. How do Country Clipper do this? The gas tank is located underneath the seat and weight is distributed evenly, keeping all four wheels on the ground and ensuring a super-smooth ride.
