  • Hustler Super Z or Dixie Chopper?

    Fellas, I got a problem. My now-sold Scag (Built like a tank, but also heavy like a tank) was making tire indentations in a few yards and it turned into a headache and extra time. I mow in Baton Rouge, LA and I need something that wont leave indentations like the scag, but I want it to be fast and productive. Something to consider- it rains here every day in the summer, but gets hot enough to dry everything out a little.
    I'm considering 2 different mowers, if ya could give me a little feedback I would greatly appreciate it:
    1) Hustler Super Z 60" w/ 27 hp Kaw or 28 hp Koh.
    - Is there really any weight difference b/w the Hustler and the Scag that I had? And, would a Hustler make these same ruts?

    2) Dixie Chopper FlatLander 60" w/ 27 hp Kohler
    - This mower would take care of the ruts b/c of its light weight, but I'm not sure if Choppers can take down thick stuff like other commercial mowers. I demo'd a 50 inch Flatlander w/ a 27 hp Kohler and my Scag Tiger Cub performed noticeably better than the chopper in thick weeds.

    I've done a lot of research, but nothing is better than advice from other people in the business. I'm probably buying tomorrow so any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Jim Shipp

    I have the 27/60 Super Z. I don't have rutting problems at all. The Super Z is shorter and has a lower center of gravity, and will hold slopes better than most other mowers.

      We have a Hustler Super Z 60" 28hp Kohler efi. This machine is awsome. I have had no rutting problems. With the large hydros, great price, and excellent cut that it provides, we have no regrets with this machine.
