FYI Dixie chopper having financial problems.
They might not be around in the next few years to back their products up.
Sorry to bump a month old thread, but a local dealer advertised he was clearing out his Dixie Chopper inventory.
I went and looked at what he had, and his prices weren't too bad, but I have found better online. He told me that Dixie Chopper was no longer manufacturing new mowers, the parent company was shutting it down, which is why he is clearancing out his product. They will continue to make parts and such for whatever time required.
I'm a little torn. Not a big fan of buying a machine from a company that is essentially going out of business, but they it looks like overall with the pricing discounts currently, you can buy a higher end Dixie for the cost of a lower end from another manufacturer, and they look to have the best warranty, 4-5 years depending on the model.
Would you buy a brand new mower from a company that wasn't making new ones anymore even if it was a good financial deal on that particular mower?

What dealer going to back up Dixie chopper when your not getting paid for service?
What dealer going to stock oem parts for a Dixie chopper when you have other lines you need to support under floor plans?
Most dealers do not have the money to do this. When they find a new line to take on they will have to use their resources to support that line.
Yes, I still have dealerships and saw the writing on the wall a few years ago. Yes, more equipment companies will end up selling off or going under this year as the steel prices are hurting them.
Stupid to suggest someone buy one when bottom line parts will be limited and service lol!
- dealers will not be there to support the product when they do not get paid to warranty the unit or get discounts toward new inventory.
- Dealers that did sell it to you will push you in back of the line to get out product they will sell in the future and get paid on.
- parts people have instock will go sky high unless you by non oem parts.
- then a lot of these Dixie chopper dealers have owners that are close to retirement age which some are choosing to shutdown.
