Assembled in the USA
Assembled in the USA using foreign and domestic parts. Ships direct from our Wisconsin factory.
No-Tools Height Adjustment
Choose your mowing height—from 4" to 7.5"—with two easy-turning hand cranks.
Pivoting Blades
Unique swinging blades pivot when hitting an immovable object, to protect the mower's blade, spindle and engine.
Chain Debris Guard
Similar to the debris shields used on commercial roadside mowers, this guard stops material from flying forward
Mows Outside Wheelbase
The mowing blade extends outside of the wheels—so you can mow right up next to fences, walls, hedgerows and other obstacles without interference.
Big "Brush Bar"
The 2.75" thick steel frame acts as a brush bar...pushing over saplings, brambles, and other vegetation before feeding it under the deck
44" Mulching Deck
The 44" mowing deck is enclosed on 3 sides, so cut material is chopped and re-chopped, leaving windrows behind.
Outrigger Tow Bar
The 2-piece tow bar allows for offsetting the mowing deck to the left or right...or you can mow right behind your tow vehicle.
Mow up to 1 acre per hour!
Mowing times will vary with conditions (density of growth and features of terrain), but hooked up to your ATV the DR 10.3 HP Tow-Behind can clear as much 1 acre per hour — while you ride in comfort!

tensioner spring and pully broke in 4 hours
i bought thr44T and the tensioner spring broke after 4 hours of cutting just short grass and weeds around a corn field. poor cheap design. the welded nut underneath also broke.
Thank you for your review. We do apologize you have encountered these issues. Please contact us at 1-800-687-6575 for assistance.
Bush hog
I was pleased from the time it was placed on the ground. Servicing and clutch burnishing were easy to do and the first use did an excellent job. Product satisfaction is excellent. Delivery not so good. Tracked it to final delivery point. After my inquiries and at my insistence it made that last 1 hour trip 4 days after reaching the delivery point.
Great chopper
A couple of minor issues out of the crate, check the fuel bowl for tightness and the Idler pully on the blade belt for proper swing, then after burnishing in the clutch, watch it eat! I had weeds, grass and a variety of vines to take care of, most where over the height of my side by side I was pulling it with, but by simply watching my speed and starting out high, it powered through it with more than satisfactory results.
Excellent machine for the price
Unit does a very good job at what it’s designed to do. Keeping in mind that this is the entry level machine I believe it performs very well. In addition, I had an intermittent start problem when the unit was about 5 hours old and after contacting DRpower they sent me a new carburetor very quickly and at no charge. I’m very happy with the unit and the company
44t
Would rather have a ball hitch for the 44 inch
Q.Does this machine need to have the clutch burnished before starting?
A.Thank you for your question. The clutch break-in (burnishing) details can be found on page 13 of the machine manual.

Q.How short will the Premier 44T cut grass?? The picture illustrating the mower implied that it was fairly short, but????
A.Thank you for your question. The lowest setting for this machine is a 4" cut.

Q.How does this do going up-and-down hills with UTV?
A.Thank you for your question. We would not suggest using this on any inclines over 20 degrees.

Q.Do you make a cover for the Premier 44T
A.Thanks for asking. Yes, there is a cover for our current model 44T.

Q.On average how long will the premier 44 run on a tank of gas?
A.Thank you for your question. It really depends on the load you are putting the machine under. For instance, an area that is being cut for the first time that has many saplings and thick grass would run more gas than it would when being maintained later.
