how fast is the dixie chopper
there has been some recent desputes that the dixie chopper company has a mower that can reach speeds of 35mph now i think that is about twice the speed that they can actually go, if any body can prove me wrong please take a shot at it. Justin!

its aparently the worlds fastest lawn mower but how fast is it really, basicly its a mower deck driven by two hydrolicly driven wheels with a seat . want to go forward push sticks forward want to turn left. pull the left stick back to reverse the inside wheel then you turn very simple.

I guess the story I read about it said it was an almost stock Dixie Chopper. Although I do beleive that their 15mph claim is still the world's fastest for that type of mower....

definatley a very fast mower yes but i got into another argument with somebody today and just wanted to clear it up. IT would definately be fun making a mower than can reach speeds excesive of 50 mph though

~50mph top speed but I think he left his deck back on earth.

they used one of dixie chopper's motors in the motorcycle built for them by OCC. Â*it didn't have any problems going fast. Â*and it almost sounded like a motorcycle engine.
