wow!
Funnynthing happened on the way to pay the propane bill today. the propane co. has been selling dixie choppers for the last few yrs. competition here is high, so they moved all their mowers to stores in other locations. except for one floor demo, a 2013 magnum 2250 with canopy. i have been lusting after the Ferris is2100z, but cant come close to justifying the $9k it will cost. have some serious cutting to do on multiple acres, fescue chest high. asked about the price, and ended up with $5400 out the door including the sun shade and tax. mtook it to the farm and started to work. my first ztr, so for a while was lika a two yr old trying to ride a motorcycle, but slowly got the hang of it. the mower really eats, and was sailing along great when at about the two hour mark, it bogged down, and acted just like u described, could sit, let the blades clear, but as soon as move forward,mbog down again. so weird, as it had just cut chest high grass with no problem. tomorrow i will track down the drive pulley and inspect the bolts (if there are any left!)!!hopefully, they are there and just need a wrench. i dont get a new mower very often and am always nervous as i have problems in the past with things falling apart from vibration, loose nuts, etc. i am almost positive that mine has the same problem and i cant wait to check it out. will report my findings. before it bogged down i did some major cutting and was really impressed, like you, coming from a husq 2254 manual xmission machine
thanks so much for this post, who knows how many people u have helped?

So what was the problem? I am looking at a Dixie Chopper 2250PH for around $5,800 and a Bob Cat XRZ for $5,300. The 2250HP has better specks. Any advise?
