All DR products undergo hundreds of hours of rigorous testing before they are considered worthy of the DR brand. Mike, how did the tow behind mower perform? Tom, as you know we have high standards for quality at DR. We’ve been the industry leader in walk behind brush mowers for years. When we set out to develop the tow behind, it had to meet those same standards. We came all the way to Hawaii to find the toughest testing conditions possible. We put hundreds of hours on it cutting all kinds of material including thick, 8 foot tall Hawaiian Cane grass and I have to tell you that it did just an amazing job. The locals were impressed as well. Typically these grasses are cut with 70HP PTO driven brush mowers. I’ve been so impressed with the performance of this mower in these tough conditions. It’s got the DR pedigree for quality. That sounds great Mike. Thanks. As you can see the tow-behind DR Field and Brush mower is a well designed, well built and thoroughly tested machine. It does what it’s supposed to do and it does it right!

Small Engine Repair: How to Check for Spark on a Tecumseh, Honda, Briggs & Stratton Lawn Mower

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** Most people check for proper engine spark by removing the spark plug, attaching the plug wire and grounding the plug to the engine while spinning the engine over and looking for a spark to jump across the spark plug gap. This method is not always reliable. The amount of voltage needed to jump the spark gap set at .030″ with the plug removed from the engine is about 2000 volts. The amount of voltage required to jump the same plug gap with the plug installed in the engine and operating under operating conditions is about 8000 volts, so it is possible to see a spark with the plug removed, but not have a spark with the plug installed. A more reliable method is to remove the spark plug wire cap, and hold the spark plug wire approximately 3/16″ away from the spark plug and spin the engine over. A good ignition system will produce a orange/blue spark from the end of the spark plug wire to the spark plug. The problem with this method is it is easy to get shocked and hard to turn the engine over while trying to hold the end of the plug wire 3/16″ away from the plug. The benefit of this method is it is more reliable then the first method and doesn’t require purchasing any special tools. Another method for checking the ignition for proper spark is to purchase the Briggs & Stratton Spark Tester, part #19368. This …
DR Self-Propelled Field & Brush Mower – Tom’s Review

Learn more about DR Power Equipment Field and Brush Mowers at www.drpower.com Tom: In addition to owning the Tow-Behind Field and Brush cutter, I also own the Walk-Behind Field and Brush cutter and it has all the same features in terms of its even cutting, yet its ability to be adjusted, its ability to go through all kinds of brush as well as high grass. In addition, it has the ability to remove and replace other modular pieces of equipment for other purposes which is really very good. I do have other pieces of equipment that I attach to a tractor that I’d rather not own, I’d rather own the DR version of a chipper and so forth but I like those features that’s the same tradition of engineering, the same tradition of well thought out product planning as well as quality.
DR Self-Propelled Brush Mower – Skiff’s Review

Learn more about DR Power Equipment Field and Brush Mowers at www.drpower.com Skiff: “And I purchased this piece of property which consisted of the old house and with it came 40 acres. It had a pond, a view, a barn and some meadowland and some wood land so it was land that we had to reclaim. After spending many years of cranking and pulling engines, it was wonderful to step up to the DR mower and with a little finger and thumb turn it and have it start beautifully. I had been itching to reclaim the pond and I had done it seems like every year until I got tired of it and then I let it go a couple years and it was like almost waist high with alders and just a tanglement of–you name it–and so I went right down to the pond, got a big grin on my face and just mowed the heck out of the place. Chopped it right up. Not only is it a time saver, but I think for me, it’s a mind saver too because I know that I have a dependable machine, I can take it way back to the back end of my property that I have some mowing to do and know that I can do it quickly, easily and do it very professionally. And that gives me a great deal of satisfaction and a great feeling of confidence that this property won’t get overgrown again. It just is a wonderful machine and what I’ve said has all been true. It wasn’t a line, it’s not a lot of baloney, it just is a wonderful machine and what I’ve said is all true. It’s a very enjoyable machine to use it and I love the way it starts.”

Learn more about DR Power Equipment Field and Brush Mowers at www.drpower.com Orlowski: It’s designed with a very specific purpose and it does that very well. It cuts down brush and lightly wooded things, you pretty much point it and go. Rullo: As soon as I took it out of the crate you could see it was well made, it was tight, it was solid and it sold me on it before I even used it. But then when I did get it out, it just amazed me. It tore through everything I had out there. Terry: It works so well and the fact that it will eat through anything and the fact that it will do so on uneven terrain, on very steep hills. It has never failed to start in any kind of weather, wet, cold. We call it the beast. Skiff: I think not only is it a time saver but to me it’s a mind saver too because I know I have a dependable machine that I can take out and I can go to where ever it is that I have some mowing to do and know that I can do it quickly, easily and do it very professionally. Terry: Everybody that I’ve spoken to on the phone, everyone that I’ve met in the store speaks very highly for a company that’s clearly very well run, where engineering matters, where quality matters, and where they don’t cut corners and it’s those corners they don’t cut that allow us to have a piece of equipment that will give us a lifetime of service. This company stands behind everything they make, 100%. My satisfaction is guaranteed, I know that and I am satisfied.
DR Self-Propelled Field & Brush Mower – John’s Review

Learn more about DR Power Equipment Field and Brush Mowers at www.drpower.com John: “My house here in Guildhall is about 6.2 acres on a beautiful plot of land that I fell in love with and the bottom 2 is very very overgrown. It’s along the river, heavy brush, saplings, there’s some poison sumac. At first I didn’t know what to do and I actually looked at some tractors but between the y’know 3 to 5 grand for the brush hog and the 12 to 20 for the tractor it didn’t seem very economically feasible just to clear up some brush. And whenever I searched on the internet, DR always came up. It’s designed with a very specific purpose and it does that very well. It cuts down brush and lightly wooded things, you pretty much point it and go. I think the DR does stand for quality. A lot of the components they’ve used, all the ones that are certainly visible, if you looked at the clutch on the axle, is very substantial. And the size of the axle shafts themselves, I’m never going to bend those, they’re actually overbuilt for the machine. And the gauge of the steel from the housing unit, all the way to the cutter itself, is heavy enough that I don’t feel like I’m ever going to have an issue with it. It does what it’s supposed to do much better than I ever would have envisioned it It’s actually fun to use and that may sound a little odd but I enjoy using it when I cut down the brush because it works so well and makes light work of what would be virtually impossible to do otherwise.”
