DR Brush Mower

[Bucndoe]

Anyone have one ? I have a 13 hp model which is a beast with the Tecumseh engine on it. I loaned it out to a friend last season and got it back with a sputter and crappy idle. Took the carburetor off and cleaned it up and it is running like a brute again. First time working on that Vector carb which is all plastic but what an easy thing to work on. Hopefully cleaning up some trails next week.

There's one at my mom's farm and I use it every year to mow grass down. They are great! Never had any issues at all with them.

I have a 2007 model, with 17hp Kawasaki "tow behind".   It is a beast for cutting brush, briers.  Basically if I can drive the quad over it, it will cut it up.   What it absolutely sucks at no matter how much I sharpen blades is as a field mower.   It can't get to the quad tracks - so that grass stays down, and only mows between them.     Ideally to mow a field properly you need to go back the next day. There is however, a way to "offset it" but what a pain in the ass that is and never got that to work properly.  So I end up double-cutting.    if you want to blaze trail - hard to beat.

Mine is a walk behind model. I also bought the K10 electric log splitter as a back up. That little thing splits some big stuff

yeah if you put the mower ahead of the quad would be amazing.  But that's not possible.    Mowing several 5 acre fields I need to pull it behind quad and it's same old issue, can never get to the tire tracks even though blades go over them on both sides.  so a 44" cut ends up being a 30" cut.

Anyone have one in the Ocean County area, we are setting up a 3d archery range at the Citta Scout Reservation and could use a hand.

I've heard nothing but good things about the DR mowers and brush cutters
