Anyone Have One Of These DR Trimmer's?

[TractorGuy]

I like the idea and looks of these. Would like to see a demonstration of it on some tall grass though. Seems more efficient to have a mower combined with the side mower. You wouldn't have to change mowers to do the fence vs the field.

I would doubt they sell DR returned stuff. My friend gets them for nothing. He has repaired at least one for his own use.

Cool idea, ya I wish the video showed it actually trimming something, that grass looked cut already..

Maybe they just call it "reconditioned".

That could almost be a separate thread ... or maybe it has been?

I have yet to find line (feed or replaceable whip) that will take off tough weeds like thistle, but survive a T-Post.

They have a "ring" that will keep a t-post out, but it does nothing about a rock or stub of tree stump that is shorter than the ring:

Yes those are them, they have some kind of a "try it" thing, I wouldn't buy one..

Their push trimmer mower prices are crazy. You can buy a brand new one for less than they want for the reconditioned DR version.

I have the Craftsman version that is probably 30 years old and still cuts fine. Bought it on sale at Sears for $250 and new prices aren't much different.

Around here, if you want quality string, shop where the scrapers and parks departments do. You might have to buy a big spool, but it will be the "good stuff".

Their crazy prices are why I bought a Beast mower instead of theirs. Yeah, I paid a bunch, but I got a more powerful engine and wider cut than they offered at the time.

Found a never used engine powered one on CL no far away, called the guy, said it was given to him, he will take $600 for it, I said I'll be there before noon tomorrow..
7.25hp, I'll pull it with my ATV and give it a try..
