I would have liked to have seen A) how do you raise/lower it tines into the soil and B) how well it does at deep tilling. Control "interface" with the operator and the unit throttle, starting, clutch engagement, etc. I already know i would prefer it to be "reverse-tine" rotation for a few reasons. But good potential for certain! Thanks again Sir, Great video!
Sounds like a little more details. I can do that for ya.
Please don't waste any of your time on me. I'm just some schmuck out here trying to make intelligent comments to help your algorithm and give you well deserved "likes". If other more important people like my comment, then by all means. Do it for them.
This reminded me of an early prototype.
Show us more on different types of ground. Also how everything operates.
Thanks
Bob
Can't power compost with reverse tine tillers.
Where was your summation? Video is only part of the equation.
The more DR equipment I see being used the more impressed I am.
This thing had insane power.
@@Dirtmonkey your thoughts 2 yrs later ??
That was dangerous Stan. You were down on your knees Throttle wide open. Tongue on a tippy block.
Had it tipped over it would have run you over before you could’ve blinked!!
Yeah- God gives us Pollocks extra vigilante angels.😉😃👍
That scared me too!
In the words of Harry on home alone, “Santy doesn’t visit the funeral home Sonny” !!🤣
I was going to make a comment about that, but I figured someone probably already did. Like Stan said though, us Pollocks always have extra vigilante angels. I know I do, I have more lives than a cat 🤣🤣
That's why I like watching your videos when you test things because you because you put them through their paces and you don't tell no bullshit stories you tell it how it is
Haha you got it 👊 Appreciate your support
I started my business a year ago with a $30, 1988 Dr brush mower. Still runs and cuts like a charm!!!!!
very cool!
I like your reviews, honest. And put it to an honest test. When you did that brutal test on that big Hustler, that made me consider them for my next mower for my land.
Hustler are good machines. I feel comfortable recommending them.
I'm looking at the DR trail mower and DR trimmer mower for spring 2022. Got to open up 60 acres of property and manage the fence lines for electric fencing. DR has been on my radar for quite some time. Thanks for the video!
Hope this helps
Want to see him get his hands on the tow behind trimmer for fence lines.
DR heavy duty trimmer is unstoppable! You won't be disappointed AT ALL. GB/GG
Stan were you born without an Ego or is that something you removed on your own? Kindness is such a massive strength, keep up the hard work!
I removed my ego and keep working at trying to do that. Its tough to make sure these videos are about you guys and not me.
I actually had that same machine, which came with seeder/cultipacter, break the hitch pin and tear off by itself across the field at at least 20mph.
I was alone, watching powerless to stop the demonic looking beast, praying it would not leave the property and kill someone. I'd just refilled the fuel tank so it could have been running for hours!
It was flying!
Initially, it went a couple hundred feet straight, then made two 200 foot circles, then went straight toward a fence line. Thank God it stalled out when it hit a tree.
Make sure to check the security of your hitch pins and the two bolts holding the tines on.
At one point before it escaped, I lost a tine bolt and tine came loose and wasn't engaged.
It's good that you give an honest oppion, I hate companies that pay for or sort out reviews to make them look good.....
agreed. Thats why I also disclose all that.
Bro I have seen lightning with a hammer, but never with a wrench lol stan tha man with a lil bit of a plan!!!!!
No plan but I try to make it look like I have one 😆👊
That was some unique harmonies and phrasing there Stan. Like the jazz version of an 80's pop song.
😂 and a bad version at that.
Stan you let me down. You did not sniff the tiller when you first cut the plastic open.🤪🤪
Hahaha. I promise to never let you down again.
Dan the man love the sideways / water wash edit lol. Stan ur the best at making Dan work so hard for the video editing. Keeping it funny and real. Just keep living the dream good sir.
Thank you and thanks for going along with the ride today.
My Polish bro. My middle name is Stanley. Heck yea I like to see you review stuff first time. Your channel has gotten really good. Experience is showing. Keep um coming. Happy Thanks Giving to you and yours. Also To other followers as well!!
Thank you sir. Happy and safe thanksgiving to you and your family.
I love the review vids because you don't just take them and lightly test them. No you put them pretty dog gone hard in doing thing most of us would never attempt (your mower videos in the tall saw grass come to mind) plus your opinions are true and honest and not biased because your being payed to do the review. Keep it up Stan!!!!!
Thank you sir!
Nice one Stan 👍👍🏴🏴
Thanks Tony!
Love the special effects.
That’s all Dan the editing man. 👊👍
This looks like the most fun and best tilling experience I've seen so far.
You gave that equipment a nice workout. I liked Menards when we lived in Wisconsin. We don't have any where we in South Carolina. Sad
That would be hard to live without a menards close by.
So I’m watching and find myself leaning sideways in my chair…. Well played Stan!
😂Gotcha!
Hey thanks for sharing appreciate it big thumbs up keep making more videos
Thanks for hanging out with us tonight and happy thanksgiving 👊👍
Happy Thanksgiving to you too bro
Got a Shoxx blade commercial, with you in it, before the video.
Cool. I like those dudes. I made that commercial for them.
Enjoyable and great video.
much appreciated!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Hope you and your family has a beautiful day. God bless.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you as well!
Mate, this seems like it has the goods.
👍👍👍
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family!
Same to you! Happy thanksgiving!
Must be a manic Wednesday Happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family 😃👊
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving there Stan.
Thanks Steve. Same to you. Happy and safe thanksgiving to you.
I bought one of these about 2 yrs ago to prepare for 17k sq ft of new lawn, its an awesome piece of equipment 🤘
I used one of the walk behind brush mowers and ended up in a funky spot where it was 20ft drop and to steep to turn around. I was able to put it in reverse and kind of lay on top of it to put weight on the tires and it carried me and itself right back up the slope. I was amazed.
That’s fricken awesome! 👍
Nice look at the product. thank you...
You bet. have a safe and happy Holiday!
nice machine great video
Thank you sir 🙏
I have a dr pro max 52t brush hog, 22 hp briggs , LOVE IT! it off sets , pull it with a quad.
Dogs are the best.
Happy bird day.
Right on!
Good test, and that "pull behind" tiller will save a man's back. That said, I can't say I'm impressed with the DR unit. That exposed battery looks like an afterthought...during the first start, you can see it shaking around rather loosely on the mount. Also, it is right in the firing line for anything those tines kick out...as are the axles/spindles of the machine...lots of dirt getting into places that will cause wear and/or damage. Back to the drawing board, DR.
I think a well placed mud flap would protect this beast from itself.
Yes, it throws dirt all over on top and the fan on the pull start shroud that cools the engine sucks in dirt too. I had a clump of dirt the size of a walnut laying on top of the throttle linkage. If the wind is blowing from behind, you it gets ever worse. I made a huge improvement by attaching 1/8-inch shield extending down 8 1/2 inches that bolts to the 45-degree kick on the tine shroud. I also believe they have the ratio between the pullies that drive the tines to close. They need to speed the tines up and not the engine. They dropped the ball on this equipment.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too bro
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos, always interesting and entertaining. Didn’t know what you were talking about with the angles 😂 I’m usually watching on my phone with some crazy angle anyway. Definitely a nicer tiller to use than the older standard front tiller I grew up on. Only thing slicker is a tractor mounted 6’ tiller. My uncle had one and used it in place of a mower on his fields, certainly slows the grass recovery between cuttings, and mulches the extra roughage from woody brush and small trees. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best and a Happy Thanksgiving. 🍽🦃🍁
Thanks Tom and Happy and safe Holidays!
Been wanting to see one of these units in action thanks.
One of the neat features of this tiller is the rear wheels. The rear wheels kick back to lower the tines CONTROLLED from the operators seat ....and.....this translates into a very LEVEL finished till.
Several comments mentioned the location of the battery. I relocated the battery up to the floor of the operators platform on my garden tractor. Then I can use any spare 12 volt battery. available at the time...or....could also hook directly up to the garden tractor battery.
A general heads-up is 'not to make sharp turns' while the tines are in the ground. It puts a lot of side pressure on the long tine assembly.
Sounds like you have this bad boy dialed in.
I've had it for a couple garden seasons.(Michigan) Having the remote at the operators seat is great. Control of depth of the tines based on the ground condition and being able to raise the tines out of the ground at the end of the row and immediately turn around and drop the tines back down is a game changer.
You're all set up to do a part II video of the operational features now!
Enjoy all your content happy happy Thanksgiving
Happy holidays! Have an awesome Turkey Day.👊😃
Hope you have a great holiday Stan! Be safe! See you friday! That tiller is impressive!
Happy holidays! Hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving!
Lmao what ya gonna do Dan the man…. And of course my name is Dan I just stared lol when he said that
😂👍
Awesome video bro 👍
Thanks ✌the pic by your name. Thats new isn't it?
Another great vid. That looks like an awesome machine... Thanks for everything!
Thanks for tuning in.
Nice tiller. Hope your Thanksgiving was great.
It was and same to you! Hope you had an awesome Turkey day.
No wait Stan. That would be called Manual recoil start Rope or Cord as some might say. lol
😂what the engineers call it- and what we call it.
I just watched a ad of you/blade direct to watch a video of yours lol
Thats Rob from Blades direct- they are good people for sure.
@@Dirtmonkey they used one of your videos, unless Rob looks and sounds just like you it was you. Lol
Yeah I went to blades direct page it was that minute long video with you in your garage.
I made that for them I meant- They have supported me for years with their blade and saw package. I used to buy one per year just to get the free saws.
Cool machine, love watching.
Thanks for being with Today Andy!
Any respectable company that wishes to have their product reviewed publicly SHOULD have an expectation and desire for unbiased reporting as it gives them opportunity to make improvements. No product is perfect out of the gate and it is unreasonable to expect it. How the manufacturer decides to handle their weaknesses and imperfections is the difference in success and failure.
well said👊
I will pull this behind my walk behind for sure come spring!!! O was also looking at pull behind 100” mowers
Those pull behind mowers can add up fast $$.
Always a thumbs up! Every video I watch! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you sir 🙏. Happy and safe thanksgiving to you and your family
I'd run wires from the tow vehicle to the back of it then use a on off switch to keep the battery up
i added some belting across the back to stop throwing material. i also run it behind ab zero turn mower, easier to keep the speed more constant with hydrostatic drive.
I bet that worked better than my old 4 wheeler.
Releived the unit didn't fall off the cinder block when you were running the tines on your knees. It would have headed straight for you bro. Cheers 🇨🇦
yeah- instantly not good.
Stanley keeps it real. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 😎👍🇺🇲
Thank you & Happy and safe thanksgiving to you as well.
One heck of a tiller. Food plot here I come.
Yep- perfect for that.
I could see this being useful for the food plots for the deer
me to!
Gee Stan, maybe you should change your name to Dr Power!! Anyway, that is the kind of machine a person could really dig!! Thanks 😊.
I see what you did there. I “dig” your pun haha. 🤣👊👍
Top heavy for sure.
I thought so by the looks but it wasn't. That weight helps to plant it into the ground. It didn't give me a sketchy tip over feeling.
I like the idea of these since my older deere 420 n3eds the power take off and tiller which are way over 4000 used
Happy Thanksgiving Stan. Thank you for making awesome videos and taking the time out of your day to create them.
Happy Holidays and thanks for watching!!
11:00 some one should buy the gator sockets or the adjustable multi size wrench from as seen on tv, like the ratcheting pliers
I have them- they never get used and I don't even know where they are most of the time.
Where in the hell did you get that gas can that has got to be the best gas can for a homeowner I have ever seen
its a sure can- they are around a lot of places but kind of spendy.
I like the reviews and all ur great videos bro
Much appreciated sir!
Stanley, next year I would thoroughly enjoy a review of a little wonder blower, specifically the high output versions. Just a thought if you could make it happen.
Good suggestion 👊👍. I’ll see what I can do.
Are y'all starting to get snow yet? Over here Michigan I've seen some snow already
Up north we got 8-12". but not much around here
Awesome vid keep it up 👍
Thanks for the visit
Love the videos
Thank you Ian and Happy Holidays! Turkey day tomorrow! Hope you enjoy.
Like someone below said, counter rotation would better. I agree. I had rented a tiller for our garden in St. Louis, that thing was so hard to control. I bought a Troybilt 7HP counter-rotating tiller to do the garden and that thing was day to the other tiller's night. I could easily control the Troybilt that had big tractor-style tires to pull itself along. I have had to actually hold the handlebars up to keep it from burying too deep in soft ground.
I think counter rotation and some shields for the battery would be 2 nice options.
I guess every piece of a equipment will have a use to someone. Great video Stan keep safe and have a happy Thanksgiving.
Happy holidays!
Looks like to me that the 4 wheeler may be to fast for a garden but may be fine for a lo- till food plot for deer
Almost perfect for that
Good Evening Stan. Hope you have a awesome Thanksgiving tomorrow. Lime Kirkland sparking water today, hby?
Coca Cola Zero sugar tonight. Got any Thanksgiving Plans tomorrow?
Liked the video thanks for creating it and your other content! Happy Thanksgiving Stan
Glad you enjoyed it! and Happy Holidays Scott!
Ratchet handle works nicer or impact backwards runs fine on the lag bolt. I think it was flexible on the pull along to bounce over small to medium rocks and stumps. Nice.
😉good eye.
I enjoy your videos . 👍
I have a similar tiller (Premier). It's a POS. Shear bolts break after less than a minute
AFOS is always a nice treat!
What is AFOS?
@@Dirtmonkey A Flock Of Seagulls 👍👍🎶🎸
I watch your videos cause the wife won't let me buy all that equipment. But still, doesn't stop me from window shopping and sending her pics of Full sized excavators in transport on my way to work lol.
Love it! You and I are in the same boat. My next purchase is either another loader for winter or a excavator for next year. so many cool man toys out there and they all pay for themselves in some way.
@@Dirtmonkey exactly. I want a snow blower for what snow we get but the wife looking at me like I don't have the money lol. So glad to see your videos
It definitely needs some more guards for the battery and to keep dirt from flying out so far.
agreed- that would make it safer
That thing looks so violent good Lord looks like it will do the job though I need a bigger and heavier wheeler to tow it behind tho. Awesome video though as always
Much appreciated good sir.
Great video as always. two things I don't like about it is the battery is exposed to rocks and flying debris and there should be a guard on the back to keep things from shooting out. I can see a smaller rock come shooting out and through a window or hit someone near by. Still a cool machine though. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Agreed. Those 2 things would make it better.
That looks like a good tiller for a larger piecel of property.
Yeah it’s a perfect fit for something like that.
Looks good, I'd prob put a truck mud flap on the back of the housing and trailing on the ground to stop all that junk being thrown all over and to mitigate any potential sparks from rock strikes starting a wild fire if in dry conditions.
good call.
That was neat Stan, sorry that I can't share as I had to rid myself from Mark Zuckerturd's evil grasp, anyways Stan and Family and friends, a Happy Thanksgiving Day from your Canadian followers, Cheers!
I hear ya on that one and Happy thanksgiving to you and safe holidays to your whole family
I do not know if that could handle Canadian Clay!!! Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless.
I bet it could-but i didn't run it through any. Our soil is Heavy clay as well but this area that I tested it was more rocky and filled with debris.
Hi to the Dirt Monkey Forces. Stanley the tiller did great. Happy Thanksgiving Stanley and Family
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family as well!!
I am happy you show us things and that your honest about the things you show us I thank you for that. Happy Thanksgiving to you an your family. Would a lawn tractor work better it will go much slower
Thank you sir and happy thanksgiving to you and your family
Here’s a Happy Thanksgiving algorithm booster! But seriously Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Stan!
Same to you! happy Holidays and thanks for the support👊
15:39. great camera angle can't wait to watch the rest of the video on faces of death. sweet bejeezus stan it's amazing you made it this long in life with out killing/grievously wounding yourself. you are the eaxct person all these damn warning labels and safety switched were mandated by congress to be installed! thanks buddy GRRRRRRR!!!!
😂 I can't argue with you on that one.
Something tells me this wasnt filmed in true secession. Long green grass, shorts, and tee shirt. Doesn't seem like end of November apparel lol. Good video. Hope you guys had success hunting. I haven't.
I filmed this in September. We are slow on the Editing.
here to help
Thanks Nash. Good to have you here again.👊
Keep up the good vids Stan
Thank you sir! Will do!
I think they need to add rubber flaps
Get some big rig mud flaps and cut one in half and bolt it to the back of the guard.
Another interesting video!
oh yeah- that would really make sense- keep everything from flying all over.
WHAT A Beast ....Happy Thanksgiving to the Dirt Monkey Clan
Happy Holidays to you as well!
Thanks for the advice on boots but unfortunately the size and the style I am looking for are sold out.
Sorry about that.
@@Dirtmonkey you don't need to apologize it's not your fault.
Guess I'll just have to get on the waiting list.
Now that you tilled up the debris, you need one of them there DR power rakes to make it more pretty.
Yes- I sure do!
Do you realize how lucky you were, when you laid in front of the unit, sitting on a concrete block with the tines engaged. If the tongue fell off the block it would have ran right over you. You could have been fertilizer for the food plot.
I didn't realize that in the moment.
Dinosaur Colorado USA saying hello and thank you for sharing
Thanks for tuning in tonight! Glad to have you here.
What's your thoughts about the Milwaukee knife you used to unwrap the tiller
I love it😂
Happy belated Thanksgiving Stan until all your followers as well.
One thing for sure I'll never get a front mounted tiller again. When I was younger it was a good workout but I'm too old for that stuff now and it'd be a rear mount only for me
This unit seem to handle the terrain quite well and it's kind of neat having the motor noise and back of the operator. By the way where's your ear protection? Polack we're not you're an asset to the like-minded enthusiast and we would not want to see you injured.
A. What's the fuel consumption like?
B. Are there zerk fittings for greasing?.
C. Is there anything between the base of the battery and the location where it mounts, I.E may be a rubber pad or something to mitigate premature wear?
D. My phone kept locking up on this video and in the end you said something about that's the one that got us.. he had picked up a small potato and I was wondering if it did anything to the machine?
As always thanks bunches and may continue to be abundantly blessed with all that's good
That potatoe was a brick. It was throwing stuff like that all over. It does need some mud flaps- I could see that being proactive protection.
