- DR Walk-Behind Trimmer Mower Beaver Blade Install | Belted Galloway Homestead
I purchased a DR Walk-Behind Trimmer Mower to help with the trimming around the homestead. It is a motorized, walk-behind string trimmer. DR power equipment premier 6.75 trimmer and mower. DR power equipment commercial 6.75 trimmer and mower.
In this video, I will show how to install the optional Beaver Blade (chainsaw blade disc). Please refer to this for the safety and operation instructions. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installing the DR Beaver Blade
Probably will never own one...but the video was great.
@@MysteriousOutdoors Thanks Mysterious Outdoors, appreciate it!
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead Just stating a fact.
All that and then you don't even demonstration it cutting something?
In this video it is demonstrated.
I have a 2022 DR Premier Walk Behind Mower/Trimmer. The Beaver Blade Safety & Operating Instructions do not really apply. I received a 1-3/4” tall Hardened Mounting bolt and a tall 2 or 3 inch spacer. When I took the Mow-Ball off, the Line Plates didn’t immediately come off. They were stuck. I took a flat screwdriver and inserted it between the first two plates very carefully. Then they all came off. I also had to remove the Anti-Wrap Canister. There was a lot of dead grass in the Mow-Ball, in the Anti-Wrap Canister and under the Line Plates. The Hardened Mounting Bolt sits in a hollow within the Mow-Ball. It was hard keeping it within the Mow-Ball while tightening. Well, I’m going to give it a try.
Thanks for reaching out! It is amazing how much grass can get jammed up in areas like that. I hope it works good. Watch out for the rocks.
That looks so dangerous 😳
I'm ordering one.
Haha be careful!
Thank you for sharing this information and providing the link. It has been super helpful!
Thanks for reaching out.
Belted Galloway thank you for doing such a great video! I'm an older woman who bought a refurbished dr power trimmer and a beaver blade; I've had it a year and I am intimidated by it right now and I want to work on getting over that. Higher Ground Farm, thank you for asking about the brake kit, I was wondering that same thing to.
Thank you. Very clear
You are hands on....love it.
Belted Galloway, thank you for making this clear and friendly instructional. It was not too slow for me. Any advice as to repairing the chain, which was detached and severed when I purchased used? Many thanks.
Thank you for the comment! I have not had to do this, but I believe that the chain is a chainsaw chain. I would go to a chainsaw shop that makes chainsaw chains to length. That way they can match up the size that is on the beaver blade or repair the current one. Looks like the connecting links are called "Preset Tie Strap" on Amazon. Great question. Thanks for reaching out.
Between using might want to spray the chain with fluid film
Great idea! Need to remove that build-up. Thanks for the comment.
How do you tighten a new drive belt on a field edge string mower
Just wanted to see the beaver blade install !! DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR COWS !
Really appreciate you doing this video as well as all your videos!
What I had thought about doing. Is actually making an adaptor setup to actually install a 20 inch chain saw. Gives more reach. As I need that to get under my muscadine vines. Would you be interested in collaborating on a project like this? Say I could pay for it. And you could build it. You get a really good video to upload. If we perfect it. We could also market it. I do believe there is a market. For such a product. Think it over. And let me know.
Interesting! There is a walk-behind sickle mower out there called a Jari. I actually own one.
th-cam.com/video/HNkHHYr3D5M/w-d-xo.html
Does your idea have the blade oriented like this sickle or would it stick straight out?
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead
I believe I have an old Gravely attachment like this from father.
It would be best to be able to lock in various positions.
Envision blade going straight out and horizontal. But also being able to put it invarious positions like 45 or 90 degrees. It would be a cool project. To make and I really think it would be better than the DR Beaver blade.
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead
I see it about 10 inches down blade. Have a bolt going through chain bar. Would be the dome thing on bottom at that point. Top of bolt would allow arcing and changing of postion of the bar angle. And locking it in place. With a metal top.
Dr Galloway when we tried I set rod to stop from turning … could find the slot … how do we find that
Thanks for reaching out! Could it be covered with dirt? Is it the same model as the one in the video? Give it a good spray with a garden hose.
How do u think the beaver blade would do on bamboo. I have a 1/2 acre jungle I need to cut. A little at a time of course
Thanks for reaching out! I would think it would work. A chainsaw can be used to cut bamboo and this is similar. Don't hit any rocks. Thanks for the question. Please let me know how it goes.
Nothing beats a Kawasaki on a DR trimmer mower does it have both electric and recoil start or not. I have the same unit from the nineties which the engine faces you cool video by the way
Thanks for the question. Yes, mine has both electric and recoil start. The battery want bad years ago, but it is so easy to start, I never replaced it.
We're can I find a aluminum ball t bout and a spacer for my never blade
Thanks for the question. I would look at eBay or drpower.com. I see the complete kit on eBay. Dr Power looks to sell parts. Look under the parts section.
We're can I get the beaver blade for my walk behind I am in California. Thank you
Thanks for reaching out. You can purchase the 12-inch blade from DR or Ebay. I put some links below. The 14-inch blade can still be found on Ebay. Link below. I hope this helps!

dang....that looks a lot bigger than what they currently sell ?......16 inches ?
Thanks for the question. This blade in just over 14 inches. The blade that is currently sold in 12 inches.
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead Thank you ! I just noticed that there is a DR Trimmer dealer near my new farm.....so I will definitely look into this. I had already bought the craftsman walk-behind but I hope to see if there's a fitting and blade. Even my local Home Depot sells a number of large table saw blades so I hope to clear that 1.6 mile laneway this summer hahahaha !
@@skidfrog Wow, 1.6 miles. That is a lot of trimming. I would suggest a round file also for resharpening the teeth.
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead hahaha....yeah....that's just down one side !
What model
Are you asking what model the DR trimmer is?
Sir, request for all details regarding. puchase.
I am sorry. I do not understand the question.
I think Madhusoodhanan wants to know where he can buy a beaver blade and DR Trimmer.
@@fortheearth Thanks for the response. I will reply. Thanks again!
There are two different places to purchase. That would be eBay and drpower.com. Please note that drpower.com doesn't sell the larger diameter anymore, but you can purchase the 12-inch diameter. eBay occasionally has the larger diameter, but I don't see any currently. Here are some links for reference. I hope this answers your question.

Great instructional video! Planning on installing one soon and wondering if you have the brake kit installed as well on the trimmer? I see in the DR site this video that shows the brake kit and was wondering if this is still needed for the trimmer. Keep up the good work! Curt th-cam.com/video/PeJS7Cela60/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the positive comment. Yes, I do have the brake in my trimmer. I stops the string trimmer very fast. Is takes a little longer to stop rotation with the beaver blade. Hope this answers your question!
I can see you were going for maximum time on this one ... so you s t r e t c h e d it out ... which made it even more boring.
