I really like the Gravely's, if not for the 2 year thing i would have gotten one. How ever I have only spent 35 min on the Dixie. The day I got it the wheel pump on the right side locked up and it almost threw me off the mower. It has been in the shop going on 3 weeks. I keep getting told the same story about waiting on parts. If I dont have it back by the end of this week, I will get my money back and go get a Gravley. I like the L44 same as mine, but a few less features, and they will throw in the can air filter as well as the mulch kit for free.
I wanted a big 60 in deck, but for doing the lawns I do, I would not be able to get into half the back yards I mow. Now if I can get some big contracts like 3 and 4 acre estates, I will buy the Gravely 266!!!!!
