At just 55 pounds, the PILOT is our lightest, easiest-to-maneuver gas-powered trimmer on wheels. But it has the muscle to vastly outperform any handheld trimmer on the market...without the hassle or the back pain! The Struggle is Over! Our lightest model, the PILOT is ideal for light-to-moderate conditions. At just 55 lbs. it is the lightest gas-powered Trimmer Mower on the market and is super-easy to maneuver. But the PILOT doesn't lack for muscle, and is guaranteed to dramatically outperform any handheld trimmer you can find. An offset frame design allows the PILOT model to trim right up against foundations, fence lines and other obstacles with precise control. And with its low profile, you can easily reach underneath shrubs or fence stiles to clear out low growth. We recommend the PILOT for continuous trimming and mowing (releasing the bail bar stops the engine). If you want the ability stop the trimmer head from spinning without shutting the engine down, step up to a PREMIER, PRO, or PRO XL.

• All DR Trimmer/Mowers accept super-thick 175 mil cutting cords—the thickest, longest-lasting in the industry (so you spend more time mowing and less time changing cords).
• Attach new cords in seconds, without tools! Choose from one of five cutting heights (1.5" to 3.5") when you attach new cords. And the DR wide-body design prevents vegetation from wrapping and tangling around the trimmer head, even in tall grass.
• This powerful DR engine produces 7.6 ft-lbs of torque and delivers over 5X the power of any handheld string trimmer. It gives you the power you need to take care of all your trimming needs easily and efficiently and mow thick grass and weeds.
• The optional Beaver Blade turns your trimmer into a chainsaw on wheels. Cuts trees up to 3" in diameter quickly and easily. It's the perfect way to take down stands of "weed trees" without bending over or dropping to your knees like you have to with a normal chainsaw.
• Allows you to change your trimmer cord in just seconds—completely hassle-free! Cord is simply inserted into the head and is anchored in place by the unique gripping mechanism! Perfect for quick cord changes in the field, and for those who often trim dense thickets of weeds.
• With our optional DR DuraBlades you can quickly swap out your cutting cords with metal blades, embedded in a high-tech polymer, that slice through woody material up to 3/8" thick!
