Dixon ztrs

[Eric ELM]

I bought a 36" home owner model in 1993 and used it for a year on small lawns. After buying a Dixie Chopper, I sold it to a home owner that has 2 acres and it is still running strong.

My neighbor uses a Dixon with his lawn care business. He likes it so well that he tried talking me into buying one. (I went with exmark). The only problem that I know of him having is with the deck. He just replaced it, the old one was full of holes.

Who knows why someone would buy them. They sell them though and they apparently sell very well. I certainly wouldn't buy one. When I had to replace my 10 year old Woods 36" this year I didn't even consider buying a Black Rock. I went straight to the Exmark dealer and bought a 36" Metro. And next year I'm buying a 62" Toro ZTR (sorry Eric but the type of grass that grows where I'm moving to requires the wide space at the front of the deck like the Toro has).

You said the Dixons are holding up for you. What size decks are you using and how do you compare them to other brands you have tried. I've only used up to a 42" Dixon.

We use 4-50",and 1 60" deck size
