Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): trimmer mowers, dr trimmer mower, briggs and stratton


Question
Eric, I've decided to buy a trimmer mower.i'm looking at the Dr trimmer mower 6.25 sprint model trm625m and the swisher model st60022q 22" trim-n-mow.both have Briggs and Stratton engines, which one would you recommend?

Answer
Seems like more dealers sell DR products and parts are a little easier to find locally.

Is there a DR dealer near you?  How about a Swisher dealer?

Both sell parts on-line so ordering parts should be easy.  

DR products are good quality but generally cost more.  

What is the price difference between the products?  If there is a large price difference I'd try the less expenssive brand to see if you like the trimmer mower.

If you have a lot to cut you may want to invest in the self-propel model.  Does not seem like much to push but if you use it for 2-3 hours at a time they can get heavy.

Let me know if this helps.
Eric
