a DR Brush Mower!  Saw it on Craigslist last week, but our truck was not driving very good to make the 2 hour trip to pick it up. Dave changed out the EGR valve and it's back to normal.  The mower is a 15 HP, and will help clean out alot of the brush and small saplings around here so I can make more goat pens and just get the place cleared some and cleaned up.  I've been wanting one of these things since I first saw them.  It will also be great for cleaning out along the existing fence line so we can make repairs to the old fence that was here when we bought the place.

The cost about $3000 new, so this is a very good deal.  Self propelled and electric start means I can run it myself!  WHOO-HOO!

Wow, great toy!  I wanted one of those for years.  But, the goats have done the job for me.    Have fun with it!

I figure once I get it cut down, and the new pens made, the goaties will keep it there.  The majority of our place is woods with lots of undergrowth and my mower takes a beating since I try to use it like a brush hog!   

How exciting!  Glad Dave was able to fix the truck so that you can go get it!  I'd like to see pictures of you and it in action with a big ol' smile on your face!     Hope it handles as well as the commercials make it seem!

We are just home from picking it up.  It's alot bigger than it looked in the pic, but that is a good thing.  Starts right up and runs real nice.  I can't wait to try it out.  The guy that sold it inherited it from his Uncle.  He gave me all the original paperwork and to top it off, he does small engine repair in Rolla, MO and told me to call him if we need any help with it.  He was a real nice kid. 

I'll let you know how it works.  His Dad said I could set the speed to jog behind it.  I said... Do I look like I jog???
