![]() My husband spoke highly of the machine, and now I can appreciate his valued opinion The original price has returned tenfold on this investment. It is almost scary! Yes, I maintain it and winterize it, but still your product speaks for itself. Very little choke, no sputtering, and it runs so smoothly. Every year that I have used this machine, the first 16 years, and now constantly the last 5 years, it starts on the first or second pull. I have definitely change my mind on the I thought was expensive. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this piece of equipment. However, you have to start with good equipment in the beginning. The philosophy of continued good maintenance is paramount. Also, I’m a bit stubborn and don’t like to ask for help, so I want my work to go smoothly when needed. Keep the equipment in good condition, and it will last a very long time. I maintain it every year because there is nothing worse than having a piece of equipment that will not start after the resting time of winter, and I was taught well. I’m positive that while my husband was alive the machine was cleaned, and maintenance performed every year, even when it wasn’t used. I have to admit that my husband was a mechanic, never did anything to the machine but the required maintenance, and passed on those qualities to me. We’ve lived in areas that were sometimes -20 to -25 in the winter, and 100 in the summer. I too have to agree with what my husband believed to be the best piece of hand-operated agricultural machine he had been around. I just finished mowing for this year just yesterday! I am a bit older than I was when we purchased the machine, but I considered myself a tough old broad! Away I went mowing everything in sight. Wow, did I have some surprises - mostly the darn weeds! (I hope I haven’t lost my reader yet!) In 2011, I brought out the “weed terminator” - the DR Field and Brush Mower. Unfortunately, in 2010, my husband passed away. Even though we downsized, there are significant challenges in the famous Rocky Mountains! Within a year or two we used the DR a few times. For a few years, we mowed various parts of our property and the rental pasture. I was also, and couldn’t believe how this machine performed. The machine was received and ready to go in a day or two. We settled on the one he wanted, and an order was placed. I must state here that I felt the price was high, I’ve always prided myself on attempting to save money! Researching and comparing prices, we settled on the best one at that time. I am the “paperwork expert” of the household. ![]() ![]() In addition, we rented more pasture that required mowing. At that time, we had 5 acres and lived in another state. He suggested that we purchase a DR Field and Brush Mower. ![]() My husband had the experience and knowledge to know about equipment and what products were the best. It amazes me that weeds grow anywhere, anytime, and abundantly. What does grow are weeds, lots and lots, and many types. It’s difficult to plant and grow most pasture in this area - semi mountainous. I am a widow, have livestock, and live at 7200 feet on the Western Slope of Colorado. I have been wanting to sit down and prepare a letter to your company for a couple of years. More importantly, it’s a reminder to us that for every product we sell there is a customer with a story. Here’s a letter that came in over the summer from a customer who is still mowing strong, 21 years after her purchase. We’ve shared a lot lately about our new 2016 DR Field and Brush Mowers, but it’s nice to be reminded now and then about our “ancestors”. ![]()
