    That thing is a beast! It really gets the job done. I think the DR company is great. When I had a farm, I bought a DR trimmer mower, which is basically a heavy duty string trimmer on wheels, and it was amazing for clearing brush and fencelines, but sometimes I wished for a brush mower like this for the heavier stuff. Thanks, DR! Jason is the right person to receive this mower. 👍

    So glad DR Power Equipment sent you a brush mower! That should really help with you underbrush up to an couple inches in diameter. Yup, it grows back fast! I like the name "Brutus"! It sounds wonderful! It's kind of like a very mini forest mulcher. Thanks for this video Contreras family!

      So glad DR power sent you this bush more it looks like it really help In the name Brutus I love it I can see pigs included paddocks keeping them cleared maybe some goats in the future keeping it cleared And those little structures that I spotted hope you plan to rehab those sometime in the future they will make great Bunkhouses for people attending your classes 🤔🤗

    That is great you received this brush mower from DR Power equipment. You really did need it and it did a fantastic job on your fence line and pathways. That stuff really does grow back fast. Having this brush cutter is going to allow you to keep it clear without if getting away from you. Thanks for sharing how it works. Y'all have a Blessed day.

    It looks like it would work really well in areas where a tractor with a 3 pt brush hog cant get to,like wet area where a tractor might be too heavy.

  • @susanmarsh4351
    @susanmarsh4351 Рік тому +6

    Oh DR thank you for seeing a need and highly worthy clients Jason and Lorraine. What an amazing machine! It really clears the area brilliantly.
    Love the way you can easily lay trails for temporary fencing so your animal can be comfortable and make use if the green vegetation during the summer.
    There is nothing better than quality and reliability. DR and Sow The Land have both.

    Congratulations on receiving Brutus!!!! DR is a great company to work with. May I suggest wearing eye protection. Just in case something flies at you, or when Brutus drives into a bush a branch doesn't poke an eye.
    Looks good! I hate clearing fence line. A farmer friend of ours down the road cut his fence line once, then sprayed his fence line with a chemical killer. His fence line is now always cleared. We don't use chemicals at our place so everything is cleared by machine or by hand here.

    In my opinion, as one who’s had land like yours to keep up, you need a mini excavator with a mower attachment. That combined with a zero turn mower and a weed whacker, you can keep that place looking like the Biltmore Estate and still have time for other projects.😃👍🏻

    I just bought the same model this morning. I've been wanting one for a while now and I finally pulled the trigger. I am beyond impressed at this machine and how it handles all the brush and saplings on my property. I've already run a tank of fuel through it and cleared more land in a couple of hours that would've taken me 3 days with my brush saw. I like it.

    I reckon you should design a little single axle trailer that you can hitch on the back and stand on or have a high rise seat on and save your legs. Walking is great exercise but having the option to sit or stand and be towed by it would be great. Beast of a machine, love it.

    I've had the DR Power Pro XL 30 for about 3 or 4 years. When I bought a tractor and rotary cutter I thought I wouldn't need my DR power any more but I was wrong. Still use it a lot. One warning, never let your kids or animals in front of the machine when cutting brush. It will shoot chunks of wood out the front in like a rocket. They will travel several yards. Doesn't happen all the time but does happen.

    Thank you for showing just how tough this is. I have a DR wheeled string trimmer and I love it. I only have 3 acres but it is full of cactus and some kind of either locust or acacia The thorns are murder on all of them. I have been thinking of one of these for the back 2 acres and will do some more research.

  • @homesteadlady3acrehomestead

    Here in my neck of the woods we call that piece of equipment a Billy Goat Mower. We used one on our homestead 16 years ago just so we could get into our native forest and start working. For those that cannot afford to purchase one they can be rented from equipment rental stores. So can a tractor, etc...

    I bought one of the 20 HP models and it's a beast. It will do exactly (actually more than) what the manufacture states. Get the heavy-duty blade option. I ran the heck out of it for three years and never had a moment of trouble with it. Nice to have an American made product that performs as advertised.

    You should inquire if they have a sulky. A stand on platform with wheels. Back in the 80's & 90's many walk behind mowers had that feature. It's a time saver. Exercise is great but you would maximize your coverage in less time.

    They make very good equipment. I'm very happy for you for your association with them. The accessorie that they still need to make for that power unit is a flail mower. Much better for tall brush and small trees. It will much/chip the entire tree and will feed that tall brush your mower unit kept going under. So while you have thier ear mention to them about this. Homesteaders would go absolutely bonkers with a personal machine like that. FYI, the forestry machine used a flail power head. Big difference. Great video, have a great day.
