The Self Propelled, Walk Behind Field and Brush Mower has a pivoting mower deck that automatically follows the contour of the ground and has a fixed 4 inch cutting height.
Hitting a rock or stump can potentially damage the blade or blade spindle, so it's best to avoid rocky situations whenever possible. However, the DR is equipped with a belt-drive system that allows the belt to slip if it strikes a rock or immovable object, reducing the possibility of damage to the blade spindle and protecting the engine.
For areas that may have numerous stumps and rocks, there is an optional attachment called the Bladeless Mowing Attachment. It is used for mowing lighter grass and weed covered areas on your property where you wouldn't want to take any steel bladed mower. It uses extra heavy duty nylon cutting cord.
