Those are great mowers. I've used several models and earned money for mowing ditches and fields that were overgrown.

That seems to work pretty well. Although I do like the older style DR Field & Brush Mower's with their older style of brush deck with the side discharge feature and having much bigger engines.

I don't think DR sells mowers with flails. I would like to see some company make a mower with 2 rows of counter-rotating flails to see what the cut quality looks like.

That seems to be a prime candidate for a Kavli blade. If it were mine, I'd fill the rear tires with Rim Gard for added traction against some of the thicker brush or grass areas where the tires started slipping. Probably a set of chains too. Those snow hog tires are very common up here on 2 stage snow blowers, but they need weight and chains t really work their best. For 16 x 6..50 - 8 tires. RG will probably add close to 20 lbs per side.

100k ! Congrats!

I need one of those in my life!

That grass is EXTRAAAA THICCCCCCC

Nice job

DR is awesome! I was looking at their battery lawn mower. Have you done a demonstration with this mower? Cuts good!

Hey Mike I’m gonna be moving pretty soon out in the country I bought some land I’m gonna build a new house in the area of the land that I bought has got a tremendous amount of weeds by watching this video I’m going to look at a DR equipment but I definitely want to get something like you’ve got there but Go as big as I can in terms of width and the engine options

man that is alot of work

On the outside of that it's an outstanding mower to me I'd use it if I had some ground to use it on

Honestly, I’d love to try DR, but I fear that most major equipment service centers would tell you they won’t work on it despite it having a mainstream engine. Does anyone have feedback on this?

Hey Mike what is the horsepower of that engine because it doesn’t bog down almost at all

Looks like a job for the Ventrac Toughcut mower.

I know its not a finish mower but how short does it cut ? ( I heard around 3.5 inches ) how well does it mulch the grass compared to a regular lawn mower with a mulching blade ? we bought a 5 acre place that is mostly tall field grass and weeds. a tractor with a 5 foot mower deck is not in the budget.

If you could get the camera 📷 under where the blade is that would be sooooo cool....

Will the Ryobi & Finisha blades do the same thing?

Seems a larger cutting deck and more power would help, but it seems to do ok.

What would be the job rate for something like this? It seems like a large area for a 26”. Taking into account hours, fuel, and whatnot. Plus the DRs aren’t cheap either. Would it be cheaper as an operator to rent a bush hog with a small tractor?

That's when I'd jump on my Kubota tractor with its brush hog!

That Dr did a pretty good job. Would like to see what your cheetah would do to that field with a set of kavli blades, but I suppose that would be putting too much unnecessary wear and tear on it.

There is one thing that they ought to do with those brush mowers put skids or swivel wheels on the front so they wouldn't catch on the ground where you are mowing it would make it easier to mow on

Any idea what the horsepower is on this?

That thing needs another cylinder. It probably works better in brush and small saplings, but that thick grass really boggs it down.

What's the details on this model?

It always amazes me the power of those little engines but think its way the chamber is built to quickly get rid of cut grass.. you ought to make a mower Mike with a V8 engine on top that would be awesome Also tha image stabilisation of that camera on the 9 ft selfie stick is amazing

are you gonna come back and hit this with the cheetah after you knock it down with the DR?

You are asking that machine to do more than what it was designed to do. You are also doing full width cuts instead of the 3/4 width cut that does a much better cleaner easier job. 1/2 width width cuts in that field would have been preferable.

Could you use a dolly and not have to walk so much ??

Is this like watching paint dry?

The cheetah would a done it better

Boring
