field brush mowers

I have a DR Field and Brush mower that I bought 4 years ago. It has the 15 horsepower Kawasaki engine. It will do everything the manufacturer says it will. It is rather heavy and you can't fight it. I have no complaints. It is hard work in rough terrain, but it will do the job. Very little bogs the machine down. It even cuts wild roses, which ar my worst problem. The trimmer they make is not self-propelled but might be a better choice for fence lines. I use one on my barbed wire fence lines. Not nearly as much money either.

field brush mowers

The DR F&B Mower is a serious machine. I chose the 10.5 HP Briggs & Stratton for its lower initial cost,large displacement, crankcase capacity, and parts availability. It will do everything that the higher horsepower versions will do, just not quite as fast, as it is the same machine, except for the engine. The depth of cut is 4", so if you cut the stumps at ground level, you should have no problem.
This machine and a backpack sprayer will put a serious dent in your undesirable vegetation problem.
Even if you ultimately aquire a compact tractor, you will probably still have need for these two devices.

I too am a DR F&B mower owner. I bought mine about 8 years ago. Believe me, it WILL do everything they say it will.

The only thing I don't like about mine is it has those skinny wheels and no reverse. Now they have reverse and those fat tires, so you'll have plenty of traction. I've moved stuff over head high, everything from vines to saplings. All you have to do is pull the lever, hold on and guide it.
