I would like input, good and bad, from anyone out there who has used one of these mowers. I have to mow about 2 acres of lawn that has MANY trees and obstacles to mow around and mowers of this type have caught my interest. thnx in advance.

Matt, Hi my name is Bill and I own the Dixon Dealer in Panama City Florida. In reply to your post here is some info for you. Dixon is a outstanding product and comes in a varity of sizes and price ranges. Dixon is been making ZTR mowers longer than any other company, this is their 25th year in business, and it is the only thing they make. I suggest that you contact your local Dixon Dealer and ask about having him bring one over for a Demo. I know my shop Poloicy is if you are going to spend your money on my machine I bring them over and let you try it out and make sure its what you like. Dixon ZTR are not a good mower on steep inclines, but for your info No ZTR is good on steep inclines if you have inclines Hydro Static drives are better handling in this type of mowing. Dixon has a great slection with their Conventional ZTR Mecanical Drive all the way to Hydro Statics. Unlike most ZTR producers Dixon has a Selection running fron the Home owner Residental Models starting at about 2500.00 all the way up to Large Commerical Machines. If you would like any Additional information Feel free to contact me at EODLink@aol.com or Call or write me at B&S Mowers 605 E. 6th Str. Panama City Fl. 32401 Ph# 850-769-8131 PS I suggest you try a Dixon and then go try other types of ZTR mowers I think you will find that you will like the Dixon Models and prices Better than other brands. What ever you choose Enjoy your summer and have a safe one. Bill

I have the 36" cut dixon ztr, wouldn't trade it for any other machine. If you're wondering how it cuts around obstacles..... I got rid of my trim mower... don't need it. Had a Sears 12hp 38" cut, it took me one hour an 15 minutes to cut my grass, with the dixon ... 50 minutes. Its fast and reliable. this is my 4th year with it and I still look forward to cutting grass !!!! Saw one at the shop where I bought mine that had 14yrs of service on it... the owner wanted the bearings checked.... the mechanic told me that he didn't replace the bearings.... very little wear and tear. It's a little different at first..getting used to a machine of that type (steering) but after about 30 minutes of practice it became fun instead of work. Like I mentioned before I got rid of my trim mower, with this machine you can get right up to things like trees, walls, sidewalks... you name it. The machine is built to last.. cast iron pulleys, the transmission consists only of one vertical drive shaft and two drive discs/chain, one for each rear wheel.. that's it. Amazing machine.... Get one !!!!!

I bought an older used DIXON ZTR about 5 years ago - it had a recent motor change (8 HP B&S - a bit under powered - half acre to mow). The pros are it's fast and efficient around obstacles such as trees and shrubs, and mechanically simple to vary speed and direction with the 2 levers, and most important, fun to operate once you get the hang of it. The cons are it's initially difficult to learn to operate (kind of like learning to ride a bike) and you can't delegate this chore to someone who doesn't know how to drive it. The only mechanical problems I've had are broken keys on the chain drive, possibly from being too agressive with the levers. Hope this helps.
