Ordered it from Vermont. I had one many years ago, but left it in Illinois. It is a bit pricey, but we knew it should be good for the next 25 years or so, and would do everything we wanted a brush cutter to do in our lower field, along the side of our driveway, and in our woods.
The thing is a beast. There is no other word for it. Heavy and powerful. Just right for the uneven surfaces in our lower field. It's safer than a garden tractor on uneven surfaces and sloped areas.
Here it is being loaded.
At the ferry dock:
At home. We decided that a baseball cap and a beer were appropriate for a guy who uses this kind of machinery. Wine is for sissy dancers, not for owners of a DR Brush mower.
Getting it off of the truck took ingenuity......and luck.
So, let's see. How do you put it together? Let's read the instruction manual.
Like this. It is heavy, man.
Here I am trying it out in the lower field. It will require more effort than riding around on a garden tractor, but the exercise will do us good. And it will easily rip down the Stinging Nettles along the side of the yard. If we want to clear trails through our woods we can now do that.
Most importantly, I won't have to spend endless hours underneath it trying to fix it. Yeah!!!!
Looks like it should have accessories to pick up golf balls on your driving range and resurface your skating rink.
