Dixie, manufactures eleven models of zero-turn mowers for homeowners and landscape contractors.  Announcing the news at the US Golf Show in Orlando, Florida this week, David Withers, President of Jacobsen said, “The addition of Dixie Chopper expands our reach into the consumer and commercial sectors, including municipalities, with a full range of zero-turn mowers known for their speed, quality and performance.”

 

Jacobsen will continue to operate Dixie Chopper out of the company’s Indiana facilities and its existing management team will join Jacobsen. 

 

“We are excited to join the Jacobsen and Textron family of brands,” said Dixie Chopper Chairman Art Evans (featured in video below). “Our line of zero-turn radius mowers fits perfectly into the Jacobsen portfolio of products and we look forward to working together to serve more customers. The joining of Dixie Chopper and Jacobsen offers an opportunity for Dixie Chopper to reach a larger market and expand brand awareness in the process."
