The Efco DR51-S6 is a powerful and robustly constructed machine that’s been designed for the large-scale clearance of brush, bramble and other types of invasive vegetation. It’s driven by a 189cc Subaru EA190V engine, which delivers power quietly, smoothly and efficiently; and it’s equipped with a self-propelled drive, which makes it easy to work on rough or sloping terrain. Extra-large diameter drive-wheels provide the traction required to work effectively if the ground’s wet; while a front castor-wheel serves to maximise manoeuvrability when negotiating dense vegetation. This model has a large-sized 51cm working-width.

The Efco DR51-VB6 is powered by an exceptionally reliable and hugely powerful 190cc Briggs & Stratton OHV engine. It has a pair of large-diameter drive wheels, which guarantee smooth progress over rough ground; and it features an adjustable cutting-height, which is easy to set using a handily positioned lever.
