Lightweight and Maneuverable!
Just looking for a great brush mower? The PREMIER is our lightest and most maneuverable DR Field and Brush Mower. Unlike its bigger brothers, the PREMIER is designed exclusively as a mower (it does not accept our optional attachments), which allowed us to take weight out of the frame...and that translates into easier, more responsive handling in the field.
With a 26" cutting width and three forward speeds (as well as powered reverse) the PREMIER has everything you need to churn through the thickest field grass and clear out overgrown brush, including saplings up to 2" in diameter. The OHV engine starts easily every time, and the big, lugged tires track reliably over all kinds of uneven terrain. This is one solid mower!
Superior Mulching
Our decks are enclosed on 3 sides, so that cut material is chopped and re-chopped, reducing grass and brush to a fine mulch. This means less material is left behind in your field, and none of the windrows you get with side-discharging mowers.
Assembled in the USA
Assembled in the USA using foreign and domestic parts. Ships direct from our Wisconsin factory.
10.5 HP Briggs & Stratton PowerBuilt Engine
The legendary power, performance and durability of Briggs & Stratton® engines make them the obvious choice for our Walk-Behind Field and Brush Mowers. The PRO 26 10.5 HP model uses a durable 344 cc Overhead Valve PowerBuilt Series manual-starting Briggs engine with cast-iron cylinder sleeve.
Gear-Driven Transmission: Lock it in and Rip it up!
Unlike hydrostatic drives, the DR's geared transmission lets you lock in your ground speed, leaving your hands free to steer the machine across uneven terrain (instead of fussing with touchy throttle controls as you go). With 3 forward gears, you can choose a fixed pace that's right for you.
Big, Lugged Tires for Sure Traction
These are big (16" x 4.75"), lugged tires that pull the PREMIER through or over just about anything, and they are sealant filled...which means they're highly resistant to puncture. Tough as nails, apparently!
Custom-Made Blade Spindle
Made of 1.375" thick cast iron with oversized double sealed bearings, the blade spindle is integrated into the deck housing and reinforced for vibration-free performance. Designed to provide years of maintenance-free use (and abuse!).
Adjustable Handlebars
A comfortable working height is important, especially when traversing rough terrain.
Ergonomic Controls
Both on the control panel and on the grips, all DR Field and Brush Mowers controls are designed to optimize operator comfort and minimize hand fatigue. Everything you need is right at your fingertips, so there is no walking around the mower to make adjustments.
Heavy-Duty Powder Coating
Our frames and decks are finished with a tough, durable powder coating that resists scratching and promotes long life.

Customer Photos
Works Well
Shipping tore it up a little but a dead blow hammer took the dents and dings out. Cables needed adjusted to engage properly. Oil cap seems to have a tendency to vibrate loose and splatter oil- keeping an eye on that. Only used it twice so far but it chews up the underbrush really well. Does what we bought it for easily.
Great product
My DR-26 showed up as scheduled. A part was damaged in shipping. Called DR and they went over the top to expedite shipping of new part. So far so good. Customer service AAA+++. Haven’t used it yet but already like better then my billy goat.
DR Field and Brush Mower PREMIER 26 (10.5 HP)
Have not really used the machine yet.
Works as Advertised
The product was delivered exactly as promised. After some minor assembly I added gas and oil as per the instructions and it started immediately. I had to make a slight adjustment to the drive cable but it only took about 30 seconds then ran perfectly. I used the trimmer on an overgrown lot that I own and within an hour it looked great! I am very pleased with this purchase.
Always broken
I've had this machine for a year and its been broken more than it has worked. My differential blew apart the fourth time I used it. They fixed it. Then there was the issue with the drive belt not disengaging. I called Dr and they sent me some parts and I fixed it. After that I had issues with my drive belt not engaging and my recoil broke. I left a 1 star review and they contacted me sent me some parts and took my review down. I again fixed the brush mower and all seemed well. Today I went to start the machine and again the recoil broke. This is the 3rd time if started it since replacing the recoil. I do not recommend anyone buy this product. Dr customer service is great but this product is a piece of garbage.

Q.Can you run each wheel independently so it steers like a zero turn and not a walk behind tiller?
A.Thank you for reaching out to us. Each wheel is operated by a breaking system independently.
