Night Cutting

I have been performing research on my 2007 Classic 27 hp generac engine, I found that it is capable of towing up to 2000lbs. I am wondering what type of ground engaging towing attachments I could use with this beast? I am looking at trying to tow a box scraper as my 2 acre field is very bumpy...

I have a 2005 Dixie Chopper LT2400-50D. It has a new battery in it. Power to starter but no start? I jumped across the solenoid and the starter does not respond. Can I get a solenoid or do I have to get the whole starter? Thanks everyone, Larry

Trying to sell for top dollar and my 2008 XC3366 (which I put a new Generac 44 HP motor into a couple years ago) hesitates and shudders in reverse. What is usually the issue when that happens?

I’m new to the forum. Thanks for having me. I am going to be changing the hydrolic drive filter and fluid. Is there any special procedure to bleed/purge the system after the fluid and filter has been replaced. Thanks for the input in advance. This is the first one I have done

Was mowing today and my pump drive belt broke. Well it has lasted 17 years so I guess that is pretty good. Can anyone tell me how to bleed off the hydraulic system so I can tow it to my garage? It has a 25 horse Koehler engine. From looking at diagram it looks like the bleed offs are on top...

Bought new starter and now can't remember where the wires go back on. I had wires not even hooked up and now confused which goes where. Like a dummy, I didn't log or take pic of how I removed them. ANY HELP would be appreciated. There is an orange wire that is detached on both sides and has a...

Just got a new house with some acreage and inherited a 2007 dixie chopper. Lost hydro power today and could not move forward or back. Diagnosed the belt is worn and has come off the pulley underneath the engine that runs to the hydro pump. It is a small belt about 20 inches maybe. The drive...

I have a problem with my Dixie Chopper Iron Eagle. Hydro-Gear ZT-2800 on left side if you were sitting on seat, it goes forward faster than other side and has power. If you try to go in reverse it spins very slow and you can stop it from spinning with your hands. I have taken control linkage off...

Charging system appears not be charging properly

This past week I bought a new to me dixie chopper that needs some work. When i got it home, the key would light up the hour meter, but i didn't try to turn it over. (I bought it knowing it had a bent push rod, so i didn't try to run it before buying) First step was to charge the battery...

What a great lawn mower that has provided very few issues over the years of ownership . . . . . . however yesterday while my wife was mowing the lawn the mower just died on her. She left it where it stopped and when I got home I was able to get it started but I could tell that the engine was...

My blades quit turning and I assumed the clutch had gone bad but, not quite sure that is the case. With the clutch engage switch in the off (down position) and the parking brake set the clutch engages and the blades are turning. With brake set and I place the clutch engage switch to on (up...

I have a Dixie Chopper Silver Eagle zero-turn mower, 44 inch deck, not sure of the year. The Kohler engine is a Model CV490 - 12 522 78, and you can't hardly find any information on this engine. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a good replacement Kohler or Kawasaki engine that works...

I recently picked up a DC X2001, and cannot figure out how to lower the blades. The owner's manual says to press the mower deck lift pedal down, rotate foot, and then push down on bottom of the pedal. I tried, but it didn't seem to do anything or maybe I did something incorrectly. Does...

I am fairly new on the forum but thought I would post of my new DC Excalibur. I got it with the 66" deck and the Kawasaki 35 hp carb engine. Not huge amount of time on it yet but as with all brands of everything you will see good posts and bad posts. So far it has run flawlessly. I did not get...

I want to get a zero turn but really want to make the right choice... All these appear to be good mowers but what might make one stand out above the rest? Simplicity is a B&S engine and 3100 Hydro Bad Boy Kohler or Kawasaki with 3200 Hydro Dixie Chopper Kohler or Kawasaki with 3400 Hydro I...

Hey all, I have a Dixie Chopper that has been sitting in my backyard for a couple of years and I'm just getting out to figure out if I can get it running (should be a reasonable thing to do). The hydraulic on one side had gone out and so I received this mower from an employer. Now that it has...

I have a 2004 Dixie XT3200. I was mowing yesterday in grass about 5.5" tall and cutting it to 4 to 4.5". The mower was running at 3700 rpm but the blades would slow almost to a stop and just puke the grass out the exit shoot. I looked at the tach and it showed a decrease to 3680rpm's. Anyone...

Stepdads mower blades quit turning today, I'm supposed to fix it ;-). All safety switches are working, blade actuation toggle switch is fine as well as the circuit breaker/fuse. Also charged the battery just in case. The clutch won't actuate, so would like to get at it to see if a wire is broken...

I have a Dixie Chopper XT 2800 with a Kohler command pro 28 efi. It was running fine and all of a sudden started missing and died. I tried starting it back up and the battery was dead. I jump started the mower and it fired right up, unhooked the cables and it started to die again. Put a battery...

I've been looking at these two ZT mowers and am looking for any feedback that you guys can provide. Major highlights I can think of: DC has a B&S Cyclonic, Gravely has a Kohler 7000. Tire size is wider on the DC Spindles are bigger on Gravely. Both are priced about the same, with the...

While mowing today I shut off my mower deck to cross my driveway like I always do but when I got to my other yard that I was about to mow the mower deck would not engage. Now I am not sure if it is the PTO switch or the electric clutch or something else. Any help in diagnosing this problem would...

Hi, I appreciate any help with this. I'm in town for the week visiting my mother and thought i'd fix her Dixie Chopper while here. I thought I had a decent understanding of small engines, but I think i've stumbled upon an interesting short so any help finding the culprit welcome! The mower is...

Hello all, I have a Chopper SE with a generac 27hp that seems to lose power as I cut. I can usually get about an hours worth but then I need to bring in a power pack to jump it. My meter gauge was broke so I bought a new one and I noticed this as I drove. (Unfortunately the meter went on me...

Hydraulic line recently came off while mowing. I reset the hydraulic line on the pump (right side if your sitting on Dixie). I replaced the hydraulic oil. I jacked the Dixie Chopper up and ran it for several minutes. Then test drove it. The left side hydraulic arm stops working after about 15...

Hello, I'm looking at buying my first ztr and am looking for some advice on a couple mowers. I have looking for a couple weeks and have narrowed it down to either a Bad Boy ZT Elite 60" or a Dixie Chopper Magnum. The magnum seems to have a better transmission 3200 vs 3100, and a better...

Does anyone have instructions how to bleed the hydro lines on a 1994 dixie chopper x2400 quad loop?

I was a little hesitant at first, but the $25 Wal-Mart fog lamps seem to work out just fine. And I almost spent $100 on a name brand.

Anybody have any suggestions for a replacement seat without suspension. I see some seats with extra padding and wonder how the would work. How about a molded cover seat?

What tires would be best for replacement tires for a fairly flat lawns except for sides of sand mounds ? Any suggestions Thanks

My Iron Eagle Dixie Chopper is really loud. The noise is not from the engine and I had my belts blades and pullys checked at the dealer this past summer. Any idea what the noise is? I know this is not information but any idea would be appriciated.

I just bought a Dixie Chopper XW2200 and wanted to drop by to get some suggestions from you all on things you would immediately suggest I do such as maintenance, fluid changes and things that are known to go wrong to look for. Any suggestions are appreciated.

A few months ago I bought a 1995 XW2400 and I would like to change the hydro fluid and both filters. I found a Dixie chopper parts site but the only listed XW2400 is an '01 and '02. I then just looked up a '97 X2400 because it was the oldest mower listed under all of the X and XW models. For the...
