It works
By Craig on 04/22/2019
First time user with my new 25 gallon, 7 tip tow behind sprayer. Took me a tank or two to get everything dialed in but once I did, the dandelions were no match, the clover is on its heels and the crabgrass is stopped in it's tracks. My buffalo grass lawn is in need of serious TLC and Drive XLR8 is step one. Next will be some fertilizer and reseeding some areas. Will hit it again this fall, next spring should be big improvement.
Drive

Actually if you read the label and apply accordingly, in the right tillers it works great. If you killed out something, it wasn't drive, it was a applicators error. Been using it for 5yrs. May temporally discolor warm season lawns, but the crab grass will be gone.
Very pleased

Purchased this to get rid of crabgrass in a softball field with hybrid Bermuda. Mixed per directions with MSO and got very good results. I did get a little yellowing of the surrounding turf, which the label states can happen with hybrid Bermuda, but the grass recovered within a week. I'm very happy with this product.
Killer Crabgrass Killer!
By George on 07/05/2019
The past several summers, crab grass has invaded my bermuda lawn. I tried several national brand crabgrass herbicides from a home improvement store. Quite expensive and produced zero results. This year I tried Drive XLR8 and Prime Source Duo Stick. I mixed 1 1/2 oz herbicide to 1 gallon water +added stick in a tank sprayer. I sprayed the entire lawn. Within a week, all of the existing crabgrass had died. I will need to do a spot application in a few areas that new growth has appeared. 64 oz jug was about $60 or $1.42 per mixed gallon. Works and less expensive than worthless national brands.
good initial results

The crabgrass started showing signs of distress after just 3 days. Turned darker purple then yellow within a week. The bermuda grass around it seems to be doing fine. I applied in 90 degree weather to tall crab grass that hadn't been mowed for about 2 weeks. Time will tell on if it keeps it at bay!

Knocks crabgrass out!
By Dale on 08/02/2019
I had a so much crabgrass in my yard the fescue was barely visible. Within 2 days of applying Drive XLR8 the crabgrass was starting to brown and by day 6 all of it was completely dead. I used the Duo Stick Select surfactant with this and and believe it really helped with absorbtion. This stuff is expensive but does a great job killing crabgrass. Now I just need to keep up with using a pre-emergent to break the cycle.

A true crab grass killer
By Frank on 08/03/2019
I had an explosion of crab grass last year and this year was no better! I tried other killers last year that really didn't do the trick. I tried XLR8 and couldn't be happier. It kills the crab grass quickly. In a week all the crab grass was yellow or brown. Next year I'll use it instead of the pre-emergence.
WORKS AFTER JUST ONE APP

Great Product
By Russell on 08/09/2019
I had a particular evasive traveling grass that I could not kill short of killing my whole lawn. This product worked great. Killed that weed grass, but saved my lawn. This particular grass was so tough that it went right through my landscaping cloth and over ran my flower beds. I now have my flower beds back. I would definitely recommend this product.
Works great on crabgrass

Makes you less crabby
By Rick on 08/17/2019
Ordered on a Saturday night, received on Tuesday afternoon. When you get service quickly from far away, it's always a beautiful thing. Follow the directions, the maker knows the best rate for sure kill(use a surfactant- it is important) . If a second app is needed, Follow the directions. Enjoy the rewards. After 3 days I was seeing results! I have 10k sq ft and used the 1.45 oz/per 1k rate. The first app eradicated 90% of my crabgrass. After waiting 14 days I made a second "spot spray" walk through and required only a half gallon mixed. Sure beats hand pulling doncha know. PreM is on my list of lawn care must haves. Pure neighborhood envy/domination is my lofty goal.
The best result !!

By Lindsey on 09/06/2019
Fantastic results!!! I had more dead crabgrass then you could shake a stick at. Highly recommend product estimate 95% kill rate. Used as prescribed in backpack sprayer over entire 1.5 acre yard. Took about 6 hours since I only fill to 2 gal. in 4 gal tank ( I'm no spring chicken any more). A few tanks were a mix with 2,4,d for other problem weeds.
Crabgraas Killer
By Edward on 09/10/2019
I recently noticed some significant infestation of crabgrass and other weeds appearing in my lawn. I immediately used a common weed and crabgrass killer hat is found in every hardware or big box store. After applying, to my frustration, the crabgrass infestation exploded. I immediately went on line and started to investigate other products to deal with this growing problem. Based on my investigation I selected "Drive XLR Herbicide Crabgrass killer" . I received my order within a few days and applied it using a backpack sprayer, following the instructions. Within a couple of days it was evident the product was working and within 10 days my lawn is crabgrass free. I had hoped it would also work on some of the other weeds that had appeared with the crabgrass, however despite the fact that not every weed was killed I am super pleased with the job that was done on the crabgrass. especially as it is one of the harder weeds to eradicate. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a crabgrass problem.
Worked great

Excellent product
By Martin on 03/27/2020
I used this when crabgrass began to creep into my cool-season NJ lawn. One application at the lightest rate (0.5 oz per 1,000 sq ft.) caused the weeds to turn slightly white and die. The following season I applied Tenacity as a pre-emergent and had no issues. I'd highly recommend both products as well as DoMyOwn.com.
