Pros
  • The cheapest way into a DR trimmer mower, at well under $400 direct
  • A 22 in swath clears fence lines and ditch banks a handheld trimmer would take all afternoon on
  • Light at 55 lb, so one person can lift it into a pickup or trailer
  • Takes DR’s optional Beaver Blade for saplings up to 3 in
Cons
  • Push only, so hills and thick growth are all your own effort
  • Pull start only
  • The smallest DR engine, 7.6 ft-lb, bogs sooner in wet or matted grass
