2.8/5
The PILOT with a head brake, for someone who stops and starts often around trees and posts. If you don’t need the brake, the PILOT cuts the same for less.

Pros
- A trimmer head brake stops the line when you let go of the bail, without shutting off the engine
- A 22 in swath clears fence lines and ditch banks fast
- Light enough at 57 lb to load and move around by hand
- Takes DR’s optional Beaver Blade for saplings up to 3 in
Cons
- Same 7.6 ft-lb engine as the cheaper PILOT, so no more cutting power for the money
- Push only, pull start only

#7 in String mowerFull review
The string mower for large or hilly properties where pushing a 22 in head all day wears you out. On flat ground the PRO XL does the same cutting for less.

#9 in String mowerFull review
The push string mower for someone who wants electric start and the most power DR offers without paying for self-propel. Fine on flat or gently rolling ground.
