But I had a very hard time between choosing between these two. DR sent me a video and info packet, the video shows a couple of times the DR and how it is "dustless" when doing the job ...
For the brushmower I would go with the DR. I own the large one with the 30" deck and 18 hp kaw. engine. It has been reliable and will mow over any heavy growth. The billy goat was no doubt a well built unit. But a smaller engine and deck were not to my liking. I also do a lot of ditch mowing and needed a pivoting deck.

Tim, The main difference between the two units is the engine. The Billy Goat MV has a Honda 6.5 hp GSV whereas the DR. Power unit has a 6 hp Briggs. The Honda turns at a slightly higher RPM, therefore gets you a little more vacuum power and carries a 1 year commercial engine warranty. The Briggs has a 90 day warranty.

Took a 1 1/2 in square tube cut and made into a Tee, bottom of tee drill hole for lawnmower hitch, top part of the tee put in cyclone rake hitch and mark holes to line up with hitch. If you don't change the wheels to non swivel it will be very hard to control.

I have the 18hp Billy goat. Point and shoot is awesome and allows you to move the big piles further. I do wish I had the self propelled unit especially when it comes to hills. I have a Little Wonder 13 hp Honda, its around 10 years old now, its been rock solid, very little needed beside regular maintenance.
We purchased the 7hp premier for our ztr, works great! It does take up a lot of space on the trailer, but the machine is worth the expence.
