I think the best way to deal with weeds and brush is the 10.5 Hp Dr Power Brush Mower. And I am super excited to show you all about it. If you're looking for a piece of equipment that will take out weeds and brush you've come to the right video. You'll see how it's delivered, how to unpack it, how to set it up, how it runs, what I use it for and I even show you how it handles BIG TIME BRUSH and SAPLINGS! This is a fairly comprehensive review of a brush mower that I purchased and am currently using on the farm. I have not been paid for this review and everything I discuss in this video I purchased. This video is made to give the novice to advanced farmer an idea of what the Dr. Power self propelled power brush mower can actually do and I hope it helps you in making a decision as to whether this may or may not be a good piece of equipment for you. Please like and subscribe and feel free to comment, I welcome the conversation! I hope you enjoy the video!

It's not Doctor it's D. R. As in Dick Raymond the inventor. I just bought the Pro Max 34 and it arrived much like yours half assembled even the brake cables wern't attached. Really gone down hill with the new owners.

LOL THANK YOU! Had no idea. I like that history. To be honest when I was first putting it together I was really disappointed. I am a 1st time farmer but I make my living doing something completely different than farming and I gotta tell you I have been blown away buy how expensive equipment is. There's no way a farmer can buy basic equipment to get started! It's absolutely too expensive. You have to have another full time job to afford it. I understand manufacturing isn't cheap but... I was thinking about buying an old used gas mower and cutting out the front deck for like $200 all in. I love the DR mower, I really do but when you pay $2000, which in my opinion is an insanely high amount for a mower, it should have everything in it. NOTHING should be missing. The product is good but it's the management of the production line that needs attention payed to it. IMHO. Customer service did get that part out to me though, for the cover. I got it about a week after calling. Learning on the job about farming I am becoming more and more a fan of USED equipment and Corporate manufacturers really need to take notice. The companies that do will flourish. Made in USA used to mean HIGH quality at a fair price where everyone benefits. Now it just seems greedy. Polaris Ranger for instance. The 4 wheeler with bed... absolutely invaluable on acres and acres of land. But you can't buy one for less than $20,000. It's absurd. A used truck is $4,000. LOL That's my sermon! Not sure anyone is listening though. Thank you so much far watching! And the info on the name!

You are so right about prices. Not even talking about combines, skid steers , etc. Just basic tractors with a PTO & ability to push a blade are out of reach. But old tractors must be indestructible: still going strong from 1940’s with rust from head to toe!

So true! It seem the only way someone can be a new farmer nowadays is if they already have a job doing something else and take on farming as a side gig. @@jerrywhitfill2236

I’m sure there’s a fuel cutoff switch, I just got the DR 30 17.5 HP and absolutely love it. Cuts like Butter

@alabamaking Ай бұрын

Hey David! Thanks for the comment. I have now found out the problem. I purchased the DR FIELD AND BRUSH MOWER PREMIER 26 (10.5 HP). It's the smallest brush mower. They sent me the deck and handles/ controls for the PREMIER 26 but the put the engine of the PRO 26 (10.5 HP) on the deck. That's the next version up. LOL so Generac assembled it incorrectly. Basically I got a Pro for the price of a Premiere which means I can add attachments! Im looking forward to trying out the lights soon! Anyway DR support has to sent me a wire that is a kill switch wire which is needed to kill the engine on the Premiere when the handle is moved to STOP. But on the pro you use a key that turns it off. When I am back on the farm, I plan on connecting the wire so FINALLY all will or should work correctly. You bought a BEAST!! LOL I bet it's fun. The PRO is POWERFUL! I can imagine that damage your machine could do. Mine cuts about 2" samplings fairly easily how big can the 17.5 HP go?

Put a screw driver on top of spark plug and ground it to the metal on the machine. It'll shut off then. Get one of them hands to show you

Hey Derek! Thanks for the comment. The Spark arrestor... well I was going to do it but Brady talked me out of it. told me it wasn't necessary. "California stuff" LOL Curious what your thoughts are. Is it needed in humid wet climates? Could it cause any issues? I'm going to add it when I get beck because you suggested it. We'll see what happens. Thanks for watching. BTW here's the follow up. If you haven't seen it yet check it out. kinda crazy what the factory got wrong that caused all the problems! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsl6ippirMvYk4k.html?sub_confirmation=1 .

Didn’t the manual for the B&S engine have adjustments for the throttle cable? Just like the deadman bar and cable on all lawnmowers now-sometimes it just needs to push a little further out.

I know you are on flatlands; any feel for stability on steeper culverts or ditches. I can’t use my riding mower running horizontal-too scared it will flip over. How about going up or down steeper drainage ditches?

@alabamaking 3 ай бұрын

It's very robust machine. Actually back behind the Connex container where the trees and brush were it was very uneven. I think it's a great choice to deal with ditches and hills. I would keep it in 1st gear. It's very heavy so the incline would have to be very steep for it to flip the machine; even running it horizontally. I was banging it around quite a bit and as long as you are willing to be bending up and down as the machine goes up and over the bumps and hills I don't think you will have any issues. Even with the missing parts, etc... it's a great machine and aside from my used Polaris and Connex container it's the best purchase I have made so far.

I’m sure the grab level on handle grounds out engine I.e. kills engine. Safety first.

@alabamaking 2 ай бұрын

Well, Actually no. LOL The problem, which I have since found out, is that they built the machine all wrong at the factory. I ordered the Premier Model and they sent me a Pro model engine on the deck of a Premier model. The Premier model uses the throttle to choke, throttle up, and also cut the engine. The Pro uses a key to turn on and off the engine. Because of the mixup I have been sent a small wire that I will have to attach which will provide an electric cutoff ( basically what you are suggesting) when I move the throttle to stop. All the handles do is, the left one engages the blade, and the right one engages the wheels. Now on other models you may be correct but not on mine. Fortunately I will now be able to add attachments to my machine, since they put the pro model on my deck. So for the hassle I kinda got an upgrade!

@jerrywhitfill2236 3 ай бұрын

Put it in stop and put the choke on full. You couldn’t get it to stay on when choke was on full after warmed up. The other models had accessories maybe plug was for them. What accessories?

@alabamaking 3 ай бұрын

II am on a Facebook page for DR. One of the members is a customer service guy for DR he really helped me out. What happened was that I ordered the pro mower which is the same deck as the premiere mower which can take all the attachments but they accidentally gave me the premier engine. Well the Premier model has a key shutoff. The Pro has a throttle shutoff. Long story short because of the mixup I was missing a wire, which they just sent me. Also the extra wires? Well, they are for extra attachments and because they mounted the wrong model on my deck I can add all the attachments they have so I will be doing videos about that down the road! Thanks for watching!

Duh. You stop the engine by releasing the safety (deadman) lever with the blade engaged, as I saw in another video!

@alabamaking Ай бұрын

That didn't work for mine. I have a feeling your way stalls it out. I guess I could have dropped it down on a sappling and that would have done the trick! But now that they sent me the missing part it should stop when I move the throttle to stop.

you are a city dweller. why didn't you call them. about how to shut off. normally. you move the throttle all the way off. It probaly to add electric start

Hey @wmpowis1257 thanks for the comment. LOL Yup, not exactly IN the city but yeah,, I'm a city dweller now, for sure. Although... I'm hoping to make that less so. I did call them. It's all in the follow up video. You should check it out because the reason I had all the problems, wasn't me... it was Generac. It's pretty crazy what happened. And you're right I did need to fix the electric shutoff but that was just part of the problem.

Right now I'm working on the tv show Below deck cutting their midseason tease. I hope to make it back to the farm before the summer. Trying to get somebody to help me finish installing my water tower and timing system so I can get water on the trees this summer for the first time. But I hope to be back before the summer to check on the property. I have cameras on it so I can see what's going on but there's nothing like being right there.
