Cheap Bearings
Model Year: 2007

I love my classic. It will flat our cut grass, but I have really been disappointed in the quality of some of the parts. My mover currently has 227 hours on it. I use it to maintain a Bermuda lawn which is just over one acre. In 227 hours, I have had to replace the main belt, an idler pulley for the drive belt and one of the blade bearing assemblies on the mower deck. I own an auto repair facility and I know how to maintain equipment so a lack of maintenance was not the issue. The bearings I removed were made in China which may have been an issue.

Pros: Very productive mower, and most of all easy to service and work on
Cons: Quality on some parts used

Great Mower
Model Year: 2014

Also have a 2002 Dixie Chopper XW2500 with 2000 hours Had since new with no problems that is why I bought another one.

Pros: Great handling.
Cons: No cons.

Classic 2760
Model Year: 2009

Been one awesome mower. I've had this in grass up past the armrests to mowing residential yards. Runs great, have had minor problem with electric deck lift switch, replaced it 3 times now and just ordered another one. All in all, I would purchase another one when I need it.

Pros: Power, agility, dependability.
Cons: 2-ply front tires, OEM replacement parts and tires are expensive.

Dixie Chopper Classic
Model Year: 2006

Best mower I ever owned. Although our Wheel Horse H520 lasted over 15 years. The Chopper has been durable beyond reason. Replaced one belt in last eight years. Two batteries over that time. Change oil every 50 hours and that is about it. Generac engine at 27hp has been great. Stainless construction looks as good as it did when new. May never need another mower. Proof that you get what you pay for. Price may seem high but you get top shelf quality and durability.

Pros: Durability, power, dealer support, speed.
Cons: Wish it had a gas gauge.

Dixie Chopper Review
Model Year: 2010

Great dealer experience. They let me test drive the mower. This model is the better model with a power point and springer front end. Nice seat and built in cooler. 33 horse Generac motor. Great oil filters.

Pros: Lots of power. Great oil filter and oil cooler system. Comfortable for a mower. Chute closes for leaves and rocks.
Cons: If there were any cons it would be the mower is tall. It slips and spins out on steep lawns.
