Gravely or Dixie Chopper

[jpetermann]

I have it narrowed down to 2 that I can get locally from dealers:
1. Gravely ZTX 42" roughly $3300
2. Dixie Chopper Zee 2 42" roughly $4100

I had not ever heard of these brands before I started looking. I do not mind paying the extra. There are a few thing I like better about the Dixie Chopper. The serviceable Hydr-gear zt-2800, removable deck and deck lock are all pluses.

What are some things I need to know about these?

We sell the Z2 Dixie Chopper where I work it is one of our best sellers. It is an awesome little mower I would put it against anything out there in it's class. Not designed for commercial use but we have a few who do it anyway. Not heavy just a few yards on the side. Holds up well. Can't tell you anything about the Gravely

Thanks! Pretty sure I have made my mind up for the DC due to he salesman’s interaction and service potential through them compared to the Gravely dealer here locally.
