Now with Power Steering!
Power Steering makes the 15.5 PRO 26 a nimble performer. Each wheel has an independent disc brake that lets you turn on a dime. Plus, if you're mowing across slopes, you can feather the uphill brake to improve the machine's tracking and traction.
And, speaking of hills, the 15.5 HP PRO 26 is a great choice for hilly properties because it includes a full-pressure oil pump–so you can mow on slopes of up to 20° and be assured of plenty of good lubrication to all parts of the engine.
This engine also gives you the convenience of convenient turn-key electric starting, so you never have to leave the operator's position to start or stop the machine. This model's extra displacement (500cc vs. 344cc for our 10.5 HP model) also provides the extra "oomph" needed to power through saplings up to 2.5" thick!
Product Summary:
- 15.5 HP Electric-Start Engine
- 26" pivoting brush deck follows contours of ground
- Power Steering: independent disc brakes on each wheel for super-easy turns
- Oil pump for better performance on hills
- Accepts all optional attachments
- See Features and Specs Tabs for more product details

Field and Brush Mower PRO 26 Model (2:03)
Power Steering is Easy on You!
Our disc brake system provides Power Steering. Each wheel is equipped with its own brake, operated by a hand lever. Just squeeze the brake on one side, and the mower will pivot easily around that wheel. You're in control...without wrestling the machine!
15.5 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek Engine
The legendary power, performance and durability of Briggs & Stratton® engines make them the obvious choice for our Walk-Behind Field and Brush Mowers. With the PRO 26 15.5 HP model, you step up to a Briggs Intek Series OHV engine, with full-pressure oil pump (great for positive lubrication even on side slopes), spin-off oil filter, 500cc of displacement, cast-iron cylinder sleeve, and easy, turn-key electric-starting.
Assembled in the USA
Assembled in the USA using foreign and domestic parts. Ships direct from our Wisconsin factory.
26" Pivoting Deck
The 26" deck is wide enough for effective clearing, but is still very maneuverable. Unlike rigid, fixed decks found on some mowers, the DR deck pivots from side to side, allowing it to follow the contours of rough terrain. This feature minimizes scalping and improves traction.
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.
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
No other brush mower has tires like this. They're the biggest (18" x 6.5" x 8"), they have superior lugged treads that pull the mower 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!).
Commercial Grade Electric Clutch
Our industry-leading, self-adjusting clutch is designed for easy access and quick swapping out of optional attachments. After 245 hours of testing we only used up 10% of the life of the clutch. There are no cables to stretch or idler pulleys to get out of adjustment.
Attachments Add 4-Season Versatility
Thanks to our quick-change coupling system, the DR's brush mowing deck can be swapped—in just minutes—with one of our optional PTO attachments: a 42" finish mower, a 30" snow thrower, a wood chipper, or a 42" grader blade. It's like owning 5 machines in one!
Built to Take a Beating
Field and brush mowing is a bruising business, and underbuilt mowers don't survive long out where the tough stuff grows. We frame our machines with heavy-duty, laser cut steel, and reinforce key stress spots so you get a product that will withstand years of 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
Set up and first use brush mower (Pro 26) 15.5 hp
Set up of mower was pretty straight forward although the clutch did not engage and the photo could be much better in showing the adjustment and simply state if the clutch is not engaging you need to extend the cable if it is engaging too soon you need to shorten the cable. Also the right disk brake needed quite a bit of adjustment to get it and left brake working equally. The picture of the handlebar adjustment makes it look like there are multiple adjustment levels although there are actually only two it would be nice to have more if I was any shorter it could be a problem. I could find nothing in either manual as to how much oil each engine required and even calling support I was told 56oz for the 14.5hp which is incorrect it a little less than 1.5 qt. It would simply be nice to know how much oil you need to purchase. Finally...the shifting seems clunky and not defined at the different shift points and requires you to continually move it around to find the right gear when going from reverse to forward or even finding neutral. I'm not impressed with the shifting it reminds me of shifting a Murray riding lawnmower from 30+ years ago. A friend had previously purchased a larger 30 inch model and he had the same issues with the clutch not engaging and is also not impressed the shifting function. For an expensive mower like this the shifting function does not measure up. Overall the machine seems to cut well and the drive and traction of the mower is good especially having the disk brakes to control wheel spin in soft areas or turning the machine and cutting on a side hill. I'm hoping the transmission is durable and has a long life right now it has performed well for the first couple of hours of use. So in closing I think the final set up at the factory could be improved a little (clutch and brake adjustments) not really a big deal but the shifting is something that should be re-engineered. I could not give anything a 5 star rating without having more hours of use but I would have given it 4 stars if it were not for the shifting mechanism. P.S. I mentioned to the support department it would be nice to have a wood splitter attachment that would run off of the power head from this mower.
Would Not Recommend
It Arrived and Worked one day and Then would Not Work again. Called and Parts were sent to Repair (Two Days Old). I paid for a New Machine. Every time I am using it The Machine Stops working and Will Not Work Again Until a Repair is Made. I have Used it 3 Times and each Time This Happens. Good When it Works but Getting it to work is another story.
This is a BEAST!
The only comment I will make about the wait time between ordering and delivery is...be patient! Once I received it I couldn't wait to try it out and I was very satisfied with the performance. We have 11.5 acres mostly wooded with a pond and this makes easy work of the tall weeds around the pond and the small scrub/vines growing in the woods. Added bonus of mulching the leaves. It only took a few minutes getting used to the controls and speeds...but like I said in the title....This is a BEAST!!
Brush mower
I like the brush mower works like I expected it to. Just waiting for the rest of my order to bring it to the shack and mess with them.
Don't expect to cut saplings
Clutch was way out of adjustment as delivered. The spacing between the mower deck and blade prevents cutting of saplings unless the saplings are as flexible as rubber. Otherwise it works ok.
Q.What maintenance kit do you use on the dr field and brush mower pro 26 (17.5hp)
A.Thank you for your question. Please contact our Technical Department with your machine serial number to determine which maintenance kit is the proper one.

Q.How is machine protected from blades hitting rocks?
A.Thank you for your inquiry. When the unit encounters a solid object such as a rock or stump, the belt will slip helping to prevent damage to the cast iron spindle.

Q.This is a machine I could use. However due to physical disabilities I am unable to push this kind of machine even with the motor and power steering. I need something with the exact same features that can be hauled/pulled by an ATV and still get the same results. A wider cutting range would be great. Can you suggest which machine will do the job for me. I will be cutting and maintaining 20 acres of land that is covered with small rocks. Durability must be guaranteed.
A.Thank you for your question. We would recommend looking into our Tow Behind Field and Brush Mower line-up.

Q.What battery does this machine take? Thanks
A.Thank you for your question. The Pro 26 (17.5 HP) takes a 12Volt 9ah battery.
