DR Power equipment

[JSR III]

Wondering if anyone has experience with DR equipment. Last year I bought one of their brush cutters to use around my cabin in Maine. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but looking forward to trying it out. I just ordered one of their lawn vacs that tows behind a lawn tractor.

Wondering if others have used their stuff and what your reactions were????

I have looked and talked with a salesman about much of their line at a county fair and they look well made, albeit a bit pricey.

I have a long, nasty, hilly gravel driveway, close to 3/8 mile in length and varying degrees of width. Looks like their grader would do good to keep driveway in good repair during the none frozen time of the year. It will tow behind either my NH tractor or ATV.

It will level and fill in holes or damage done by people that do not know how to drive on a uphill gravel drive. They start and stop (spin their wheels) and once they get a couple bad spots it worsens fast and of course good for the occasional wash out rain we get. I then get the tractor out and back blade it, and or use the bucket and bring in more gravel

Hopefully you get some replies and both of us can find out more!

I bought a mower with brush cutting attachment almost twenty years ago. The mower deck did not last long, two or three seasons. It's been so long ago, I don't remember now exactly what the problem was, but I recall doing some welding work on it which helped for a while. I ended up junking the entire mower deck. Brush cutter worked very well.

I've tried to break this Powerwagon, but I can't!! Does the work of 4 men. I would guess their other equipment would be heavy duty as well.


They have changed them a bit since I got mine...1997??

And then a semi-annual Mulching of the "weed beds".

My Dad has had a brush cutter from Country Home (forerunner to DR) since the early '80s. We still use it all the time. Great machine for its purpose around the barn, lagoon etc.
