Zero turn mowers

[mkk]

Looking at 2 mowers:

Dixie Chopper
52" cut
27HP Generac motor


Kubota
48" cut
27HP Kubota motor


Both mowers are priced about the same, does anybody own either of these brands? What are your experiences, good and bad

My FIL swears by Kubota and Deere on his ranch. He one picky SOB and that's all he'll buy. He prefers Kubota for the smaller equipment like mowers, RTVs, and small tractors. His bigger tractors are all Deere.

I don't know anything about Dixie Chopper, but don't think you will go wrong with Kubota.

Dixie choppers are bad a** and last a long time. I know of an athletic field business who uses theirs daily and it's been around for about 8 years now. Plus they are really fast, almost need a seat belt, nothing like an adreline rush while mowing

Dixie Choppers has a cooler name.

My dad had a dixie chopper for 6 years and that thing was Bad ***** fastest mower out there also cut great we the one with th kholer motor. Then we moved to Galveston and he got a john Deere only because that was the closer dealer and have had alot of problems. But the kabuta is also a good mower but not as fast
