We've had our DR PRO XL since 2017. Ever since we used it for the first time, we've nicknamed it, "The Beast." The blade is amazing and will take down trees the size of your calf muscle on your leg. It says 3 inch, that's way low. If the machine can mount the tree, it will take it down. The independent hand breaking is a must. We've only changed the blades twice. speaking of blades, we also bought the grader blade attachment to leveling loose dirt and gravel. Downsides: be sure to remove the battery each winter or it will be dead every time in the spring. Just taking the terminals off the battery won't cut it. Note: I live in Missouri. Vert minor design changes since 2017. Other downside is the delivery when you buy it. It comes on a tractor trailer in a wood framed create. you have to have somewhere to ship it to that can unload it for you and load it on your truck or trailer. If loaded on your pickup, you better have a tractor or loader to get it off the truck. On another note: I love to see the battery model and how well it compares to head with the gas version.
Although expensive, these DR mowers last for decades and are very low maintenance, I borrow my neighbors one every fall and do the bank of saplings and weeds next to the road, that grow during the season. It's a beast and starts on the 1st pull after sitting for months.
At first I thought you were at Connor's house until I saw the water in the background. Its been so long since he has made a video that it was his uncut lawn 😂
My local Home Depot will rent those for $50 a day. Hopefully one rental will fix your problem spot then you can use a regular lawn mower for the rest of the time.
We have an old Gravely brush mower like this one. It is very aggressive and violent, and very dangerous to run. It will mow your legs off. These new DR mowers seem very user friendly and easy to use. They are the Cadillac of brush mowers. I would pick the DR for speed like mowing overgrown fields, ditches, where the Gravely belongs in the woods slowly cutting heavy brush into trails.
My step-dad has one of these and it's been in the shop more than it's been at his house. Maybe he just has a bad one and they have been taken forever to get replacement parts to fix it.
Hey pro tip!!! All those burr flowers are seeds....ask me how I know.. or look at my creek..😢😢😢😢! They will still have to mow constantly, or bag it, spray or burn it, and reseed unfortunately. If you know a better way though, let me know!! 😊
For problems like that (and blackberries) the solution has usually been to get a 2 day rental on a herd of goats. For 2 days the seeds go in, on day 3, when the goats are gone, the seeds come out.
Growing up we had a Gravely . Kinda looked like this machine. You could also add attachments to it also. The mowing blade if I remember weighed at least ten pounds.

The DR?! Man they used to advertise non stop on cable TV when I was a kid.
I didn't know that!
I remember that too!!

If I was much younger I'd pick one of these up and either rent them or sell services. be a great money maker

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the feedback

no better way than what you mentioned that I'm aware of

"..knife to a gunfight.."
I remember when barfights were settled with fists in the parking lot.
no school like the old school
No rotary hoe attachment?, bummer was going to buy one if it did
