I've had a few DR items they are ok for homeowner use with areas that is not quite big enough for a tractor.
I have about 5 acres, 1 of which is grass. 2 is wetlands, leaving about 1.5 of woods and brush areas.
The brush has out grown my arsenal of commerical grade trimmers and back packs, too hilly for a real tractor or back hoe.
So off to the web to find the next toy, came across the DR line of walk behinds, was going to go on the smaller side, but go big or go home.
Side note, we have a large farm in the family about 6 miles away, so will use this over there as well.
Ordered from my local dealer where I have purchased all of my Stihl equipment from chainsaw, trimmers, power washer, Honda 6500 Generator, even small Honda 22" walk behind, I find the service second to none, everything comes pre assembled, fueled up, oil topped off and running. Saves me countless hours of assembly, just need to do a once over for fasteners and double check it all and put it too work.
For the DR they add $100 to the web price, so they recieved it off the truck, uncrated and disposed of that, assembled what was needed, fill will oil, splash of fuel, and do a pre-run, plus they get to play with all the new stuff.
These before and after are always pretty weak, hard to get feel but its pretty over grown.
Had some trouble with some of the ash saplings they have been cut a few times and are pretty stout.
When I got it off the truck I did not check the fuel and it ran out pretty quick, so it had to reprime thats why it started hard, but its just a tap of the key and the 20HP briggs runs pretty well.
No boring talk, right to work off the truck, too many videos uncrating and talking, figure let the machine do the talking.
At one point a pretty good chunk flew towards the phone, they make smaller ones with no side discharge.
In full disclosure it was not all roses and butterflies on my first run, I was trying to push down a group of saplings, at no time was the machine unstable or in danger of tipping over, but I got a little over zealous and tipped it back.a bit too far and it dumped some oil into the exhaust, started right back up, neighbors might not have been too happy, but no mosquitoes for a bit.
It was out of frame from the video but you can just barely see the deck and the big puff of smoke. These have a oil pump an spin on filter. Someone has to try this stuff out. It was a fun first go of it.
