DR Trimmer Mower PRO XLSP
#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.

2.7/5
A stronger push string mower for heavy weeds and tall grass on a few acres. Worth the step up from the PILOT if the growth is dense.

DR Trimmer Mower PREMIER
#8 in String mowerFull review
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.
