Pro-26 DR BRUSH MOWER

I own one too and like it. My only "complaint" is the cut is narrower than the wheel spacing. Otherwise a great machine.

I had a DR 30" Pro with 17HP Kawasaki engine for about 17 years. I was a good unit however the weak link was the clutch. Rebuilt it once and then finally replaced it when a bearing failed and took out the clutch housing. Paid ~ $3,000 for it and sold it for $2000. No complaints there.

Replaced it last summer with the DR Pro 34" with 20 HP Briggs. Although slightly reluctant I purchased the 34" version because i wanted both front and side mower discharge as I had with the previous 30" version.

Pros are steering brakes. Cons are all the cables for brakes, clutch and gear selection. The older version was more basic and "Simplicity = Reliability."

I had one of the original 8hp ones, and you would be surprised what it would cut.

I have a DR 26" with Tecumseh 12.5 hp electric start. It's indestructible except for the belt drive on the optional 42" 3 blade mowing system. I guess some of it's worn.😉 It's only 20 something years old and used twice a week. I love it. DR support is 2nd to none. I use it instead of the 1025R with 54mm when the soil is damp.
