We have a few Dixon units up north here but I understand they are more common in the south? Where do they fit in?

It is funny that here in MI almost all the crews with very very few exceptions run Exmark (toro). You rarely will find a trailer that doesn't have exmark on it. The used ones that are beat on and worn out still command very high prices. There are very few Scag and I think there is one Bad Boy dealer within 100 miles of my house. We have showrooms close by with toro, husqvarna, kubota and Ariens/gravely but just don't see many on the trailers, or many sold used.

I think most people around here still buy big box store cub cadet or home owner grade JD and toro. That is probably why the fixit shops run a good business and there are tons of used/broken ones for sale.
