    Resolved
    I purchased a ******************* on 07/19/2023 and it came with shipping damage. We were forced to pay our own money to bring to a repair shop for a DR representative to fix the shipping damage. Its been over 11 months since this incident and I have had assurance along the way that the problem would be fixed by the next growing season. This did not happen, and I asked for a return on the product, which was granted, however, they are stating they will not refund me until the machine arrives back at the warehouse. Trouble is, I am not in ownership of the unit, it is with a DR representative and they have not confirmed any shipping date with me. They say it is not their responsibility if the DR representative shop does not send the mower back. I've totaled over 2 -3 hours of conversation from my work day to try and get an amicable solution. I want a refund ASAP, for a farmer, $2,051.99 is a lot of money. I can not use more of my time to constantly check up on the status of a refund, especially when the supply chain is within their network!!

    I wish I could give zero stars. We have the DR ******* 26 Field and Brush Mower. When we first received our machine, it was a safety hazard. You would switch it to the off position and it would not turn off until you choked it out. So it had to be fixed almost immediately. And we lost the machine for weeks. Following that, it breaks about every 2 to 3 weeks if not sooner at the recoil mechanism. Weve had it replaced and the same part continues to break. When you call customer service, it takes at least 20 minutes to get someone on the phone who will be wishy-washy about whether they can send you parts or if that would void your warranty. They claim theyre going to call you back and never do. They dont answer emails. They do not care about you as a customer. I am a veteran farmer who needs tools to work, especially when *** paid thousands of dollars for them. The best they can do, when you finally get someone on the phone who knows how to use a computer, is they will tell you a place that YOU can call to get it fixed. So you can anticipate leaving your equipment with a repair shop for 3 to 4 weeks before they ever look at it or order parts. Then anorther few weeks to fix it. DR ********************** makes poorly designed machines and when those machines break, their customer service and dedication to customers is abysmal. Save your money. Go with another company.
