It’s important to perform some minor maintenance to make sure that it will continue to be reliable moving into next year! It’s not a bad idea to have us pick it up and service it as we enter the home stretch. If you’re still using the same mower now that you started with, its been a trooper this year. You especially want to check your mower deck spindles, deck wheels and the front wheels on your unit. This helps with bearing life and ultimately increases the life of your mower. You want to make sure that you’ve got all the moving parts of your Dixie Chopper lubricated. As we enter the final stretch, make sure to check your oil to keep from needing a new mower next year. You’ve mown on average twice as much as you have in previous years which means your mower has worked twice as hard. Most people only change their oil once or twice a year and they have a ritual. In general people are creatures of habit. You don’t want to blow a belt this close to the end of mowing season. Make sure your pulleys haven’t moved out of whack and that your spindles are all still straight. While you’re at deck level cleaning, you might as well check your tension. Debris here can rupture belts and sideline your mower, costing you time and money. It’s equally as important to make sure that you’ve removed all the debris from the top of the deck. Less debris equals less build up and less build up equals less rust and less strain on your engine to push grass out from under the deck. This affects not only the quality of cut, both in terms of your grass and potential leaves, but also the longevity of your mower. It’s important to make sure the bottom of the deck is clear of debris and dried clippings. You’ve pushed more wet grass clippings through your mower deck this year than any year in recent memory. The best way to chop leaves is to have sharp blades! All in all you should have sharpened them 3-4 times this year to make sure you’re getting the best quality of cut. With all the heavy use this year you’ll want to have sharpened your blades a couple times already and a few more before the end of the season. Pull your filter out, blow it off if you can, or just replace it to get ready for fall. After this year of heavy grass, it’s likely to clog more quickly. It’s important to make sure that it’s clean and so that you engine can cool itself. Your air filter is how your engine breathes. We recommend you take a look at these six things on your Chopper to get you through the home stretch of the mowing season. That said, your Dixie Chopper has been through a lot. Whether that is true or not and there is no doubt that what you were mowing was thicker, and longer than any previous year.

The Excalibur, DC's impressive 'industrial' model, has up to a 74' blade deck, an available 36 hp Vanguard engine, and can fly. Dixie Chopper also introduced the first propane mower and the first 4-wheel drive zero-turn to the market. This can minimize necessary cleanup around driveways and sidewalks as well as provide some safety measures for nearby people and property.There is no doubt that this has been the roughest year in recent memory for your lawn mower. In 1993, they were the first to use a 150 hp engine, and then in 1996, they used the first 'twin engine' mower. The OCDC system lets you open and close the discharge chute, switching between mulching and side-discharge from a handle you can access from your seat on the fly.
Unique to the Dixie Chopper line, the Zee 2 HP mowers offer their operator-controlled discharge chute (OCDC). To compare, here are see common speeds for residential zero-turns mowers on the market today: That might be slow for a commercial model, but it’s an acceptable pace for a residential mower. Between the engine, drivetrain, and larger 22″ tires, both mowers offer a top speed of around 8 mph. Speed and Coverageįor a point of reference, you can expect the 48″ model to tackle up to 3.1 acres per hour, while the 54″ mower can cut through 3.4 acres per hour. This Pro-grade drivetrain features shock valves, charge pumps, steel-cut gears, and serviceable filters. Further, the Dixie Chopper Zee 2 HP mowers use Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles.
