IT WORKS
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.
First time trying
By Andrew on 09/10/2019
I got tired of seeing crabgrass multiply over my newly replaced marathon sod so I decided to try something new. I did not see any improvement using off the shelf spray herbicide so I did some reading and came across Drive XLR. Not knowing the success rate and going off the reviews from this website, I decided to give it a try Labor Day. I followed the instructions down to a T (measure the lawn coverage, test out the amount of water spray and mixed with the XLR). Did not water or mow the lawn next two days per instruction. Day 3 I started to notice the disorientation in color where the crabgrass laid within my lawn. My guess is the herbicide is working as it should. I will wait within a week before spraying Sedgehammer to rid of the nutsedge growing. XLR has proven to work on my lawn without damaging other nursery plants.
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.
Not impressed

Great stuff

I applied it late last summer to mature grass, with excellent kill off. Early application this year has worked well, thus far. There are some late germinators that will be treated again in the near future. There may be mild discoloring of Bermuda, but no damage at all.
Drive XLR8 doesnt work
By Terry on 06/16/2020
This stuff is expensive junk. It JUST DOESNT WORK.It had no effect at all on my crabgrass. And yes, I used it with the expensive MSO (Dyne-amic). And by the way, if MSO is essential for Drive to work, why doesn't BASF put it right in the bottle, which is apparently what FMC does with Solitaire (which was equally disappointing). Fortunately, I bought a gallon of MSMA at my Ag supply store about 15 years ago, before it was taken off the market. Now that stuff works, even though it can be harsh on grass if you're not careful with it.

Annihilating our Torpedo
By Heather on 06/19/2020
This stuff has been destroying our torpedo grass infestation, what a god-send!!! We have done 3 treatments on our Emerald Zoysia (my husband made it a bit stronger that the instructions) and we love it. Even with 50% stronger it isn't killing the grass. We finally got quack grass out of our beds, now time to get this out of our grass!!!
worked reasonably well
By Don on 06/20/2020
I used Drive XLR8 (with recommended surfactant) as a spot treatment on crabgrass. The lawn itself was 1-2 months old blackjack bermuda (i.e. seeded). The Drive had little to no harmful affect on the bermuda. I'm opting to do touchup spot treatments every 2 weeks for a couple more treatments. reason is two-fold: instructions admit that crabgrass w/ 2-4 tillers may need extra treatment. Also, when doing spot treatments, I miss some of the crabgrass plants. The good news is that after 2 weeks it is obvious which crabgrass weeds are dying and which are not. I'd estimate I initially had a few thousand crab grass plants; at least half of those are dead after my 2nd treatment. The plan is to knock the crabgrass back some more and let the bermuda stolons do their thing. Next year I'll use pre-emergent and hopefully have minimal crab grass to control. Obviously I couldn't use pre-emergent when seeding a lawn. Though the lawn is probably only 15% crabgrass with rest being bermuda, I'll admit treating entire lawn instead of spot treating likely made more sense. Spot treatment is just more my thing.
Doesn't kill as advertised.

Verified Purchase
This is crap. This is not working as advertised. I mixed 4 tbsp to 1 gallon, with surfactant, sprayed crabgrass, fully coated. Next day, Nothing!. Absolutely, Nothing! At least Roundup will have a notable difference within 24-26 hours. Waste of time and money. Can't return due to I opened the container, but buyer beware. I will update this review if I need to, but as of today, I don't see a reason to.
works great

It works
By Chubb on 07/11/2020
For years I have been frustrated by crabgrass invading my lawn and not having anything to spray on it to kill it. When I heard about this product I finally decided to gamble the 60+ dollars to see if it would work. Well, it really worked. It is the only chemical that gets rid of mature crabgrass. And, the neatest thing about killing crabgrass is that crabgrass is an annual. If you kill it this year, it will not return next year (unless new seeds have been dropped). 460+

Excellent Product - Finally After All These Years
By Mark on 07/25/2020
I've been fighting crabgrass in Greenville, SC for as long as I've owned a house (almost 30 years).. Over the years, I've tried all sorts of crabgrass weed killers - often at the expense of damaging my lawn. Finally I found Drive XLR8 and thought I would give it a try, or rather invest in it. XLR8 is an amazing product. I used 2oz per gallon as well as 1oz (or maybe it was 0.5oz) of their mineral oil surfactant (M.O.S) in a one gallon garden pump sprayer. I had a large area to spray and I used a broadcast spraying method. After a week, nearly all the crabgrass was dead - but my tall fescue (Kentucky 31) was just fine. I went back with a second spot treatment application on a few of the crabgrass weeds I missed. So no more back breaking from pulling crabgrass for me - or lawn damage from RoudUp. Follow the directions on the bottle which I think maybe a little conservative. This stuff works great as advertised. Excellent product indeed. PS: Once dead, the treated crabgrass seems to just dissolve..
Good Stuff
