Field and Brush Mower PRO XL30 Model (1:40)
Power Steering (:41)
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!
20 HP Briggs Twin-Cylinder Professional Series 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 XL30 20 HP model features a Briggs Professional Series OHV twin-cylinder engine, with full-pressure oil pump (great for positive lubrication even on side slopes), a spin-off oil filter, 650 cc of displacement, (two) cast-iron cylinder sleeves, plus easy, turn-key electric-starting.
Assembled in the USA
Assembled in the USA using foreign and domestic parts. Ships direct from our Wisconsin factory.
30" Wide-Cut Pivoting Deck
The 30" deck is wide enough for fast field 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
Love this machine ❤️
I have rented other brands but buying this beast was worth the $. I have 60 acres that has some serious briars and underbrush- sweet gum and cedars - this machine is making maintenance where a tractor with a rotary cutter can't reach an easier task.
Awesome Machine!
This thing is a beast! I run it up my sloped property at 1/2 throttle and it chops the dense coyote brush like butter. Very well balanced, much less tiring than the rental model I had used several times. It has many thoughtful convenience features that were not described but a delightful surprise, like a retracting oil drain tube. The power steering works great on the slopes. It’s got the smooth power and performance I was hoping for. Worth every penny !!!
Brush mower PRO XL30 (20 HP)
Easy to assemble. Works as advertised. There was one ground lug that needed to be attached before starting.
Faulty installation
Whoever Assembled the wiring to the transmission pressure switch, jammed it in there and the wire was crossed inside the clip and now it is broken my pressure switch
Used once
Used once and was totally impressed with the power and ease of use. Will use again next week.
Q.I recently bought the Pro XL30 brush mower from you guys. I. LOVE it!!! It’s everything that I hoped it would be. One question though: have yall had any thoughts/round table discussions about adding a tiller attachment? As a hunter that owns property, I can tell you that if I had access to a tiller attachment, then there would be no need at all for a tractor, or to outsource tractor work (for food plots). In essence, I would have a tractor! Obviously it would be too small for commercial farmers, but I feel like yall are forgetting about small-scale farms and hunters’ food plots! Just a thought. I would buy one for sure.
A.Thank you for reaching out. We have sent your design suggestion to our product managers for consideration.

Q.Will this fit in the back of 5.5ft truck bed?
A.Thank you for reaching out. We don't have all of the measurements to determine or know if there are wheel wells in the bed. The crate measurements are 45"W x 44"H x 62"L.

Q.Can I pick this machine up at the 800 Hinesburg Road, South BBurlington, VT location?
A.No, we do not accept customer deliveries at our corporate office.

Q.One of your reviews says the brakes for steering are very weak (like bicycle brakes?). Have these been improved -- or is this review just inaccurate? Having used a Bluebird machine lately, I am convinced that power steering is a must, and I want to make sure this is a solid feature.
A.Thank you for reaching out about one of the reviews. They work similar to how a bike break would be activated by squeezing it with your hand. They can be squeezed individually to allow turning in the corresponding direction.
