Pros
- The cheapest DR field and brush mower, and still clears 2 in saplings
- Three forward gears and powered reverse, so it backs out of a thicket without hauling it by hand
- At 237 lb, the lightest DR brush mower to steer and load
Cons
- Pull start only
- The smallest engine in DR’s brush line, so it slows down in the heaviest growth
- Only a 2 year warranty on machine and engine
