DR Field and Brush mower

[Hoobie]

Has anyone experience with the DR Field and Brush Mower? I do regular annual bush hog work but am looking at this unit for lighter work. Looking at model Pro 44t. It is claimed to cut up to 3 inch brush.
Is it a capable machine? Can it handle rough ground? Maintenance issues? Any help and opinions appreciated

Have used and worked on DR products before, we would not get another.

I’ve shopped them all, settled on Kunz Engineering mower. I don’t think you can duplicate the quality and heft. 27hp and 57” cut

Thanks for everyone's input. Things to think about.

I like the Swisher 44" the best of them all for the simple reason that it uses a stump jumper and swinging blades, not a fixed blade like the others. I've had mine for about 7 years now, used on some rough material. Burned a few belts up but that's it. It will hammer through a 3" sapling without any issue and chew up pretty heavy brush if you go slow.
