I like it even more at the end of Season 1

Review Posted 09/30/2016
After using my Zee 2 for almost a full season, I'm even happier it. I've refined my technique to the point that it's second nature to operate. Aside from some dust and a few scratches, it looks and operates like new. It has saved me many hours, and it's worth every dollar I paid for it. I can't believe I even considered other mowers, especially tractors.

Couldn't be happier so far

Review Posted 03/11/2016
Upon arrival, I was concerned because the shipping crate was pretty beat-up. But the mower didn't have a scratch. It started right up, and I was off to experiment. I had never operated equipment with dual lever controls, but it was easy to master. I've mowed twice so far, and I'm very pleased with the result. Cut quality is very good, and mowing time is reduced by about 30% because of the high maneuverability and speed.
This mower is heavily constructed, but has excellent power. Every part is of high quality. The metal fabrication is over-designed. Compared with my previous lawn tractor with a stamped deck, I would expect many more years of service.
I have one minor note of caution. I store my mower in a raised shed, and I have always used narrow ramps to get in and out. It was easy enough with the tractor. But because the front wheels are offset with respect to the rear and are caster-mounted, getting in and out is pretty tricky with the Dixie Chopper. I may have to get wider ramps.

Review Posted 07/22/2015
After looking for a while, we decided to purchase the Dixie Chopper. Several issues - It is very hard to change the deck height, you would need to be 6' tall and long legs to push to lock it in and change the height. It shows a woman using it in the demo. Another issue is that when I went to use the mower on Saturday, it would not start. It would not even try to.
We had to put a charger on, and it started right up and ran each time it was stopped and started back up again. We are wondering what is wrong with all the unfinished parts and nuts and bolts, seem are like they have been given a salt bath, they are tarnished ad beginning to rust, just what is going on?

Powerful Machine!

Review Posted 06/01/2015
Just received my new Zee 2 this afternoon...very fast shipping. I ordered last Thursday and they said it would ship Friday, but it ended up shipping Thursday afternoon and here it is Monday sitting in my garage! Delivery was great...had a very good driver who had to deal with the steep street that I live one, but we (I gladly helped in any way I could to make sure it got off ok) were able to get it off safely and into my garage!
I took a reciprocating saw to cut up the crate it was in and then just rolled it off once I could. Then took the shop vac and cleaned everything up...then the fun began! The mower was all oiled up and ready to go...all I did was add gas, read the manual and I was off!
This is my first zero turn, so there is a pretty big learning curve. I was starting to get the hang of it, but then it started getting too dark outside. I have been using a Husqvarna Rider 155 for the past 12 or so years and it has been a great machine, but was starting to have issues so decided to invest in this nice machine!
The Zee 2 had no trouble going up any of my hills. I took it very slow as we have had a lot of rain here, but the mower just zipped the tall grass right off! I can't wait for it to dry out and get some daylight so I can get a better feel for it! I am looking forward to MANY years of mowing with this machine!
I shopped for two solid weeks reading every review I could on every brand. I went into this process thinking I would get an Ariens residential model, but after all of my research, I decided to spend the extra money and get an "almost" commercial model. I wanted the 2800 transaxles, fabricated deck and bigger tires than some of the residential models offer. I also visited all of the local dealers and really tried to buy a Scag Liberty Z, but when it came down to it, this machine had more features and was $600 less when you take away the sales tax!
Only time will tell how it does over the long haul...I am an engineer and very particular about things and this is one solid put together machine, so I would imagine it will last for a long time! I would recommend this machine to anyone in the market!

Dixie Chopper Zee 2 (48")

Review Posted 04/17/2015
I recently purchased the Dixie Chopper Zee 2 and had a chance to use it right away. I was amazed at the speed and almost felt I was drag racing while mowing the lawn, lol. Due to the frequent rains here I have not had a chance to use it again yet but looking forward to it. I wish I had this mower years ago and could have saved myself hundreds of hours of mowing.

Solid machine!

Review Posted 04/07/2015
The Zee 2 2348 is a very well built and quality is built in at every feature. No fancy features, just reliable design that will last. The high back seat has springs which makes it a comfy ride, but it mows so fast you won't need to worry about that.
The thing mows effortlessly and the blades lift the grass for a clean cut all the time. No need for a mulch kit because the blades spin so fast and after a month of mowing I have no need to clean the underside of the deck because it is nearly free of grass buildup.
