Dixie Chopper BlackHawk 48in 24HP Kawasaki Zero Turn Mower – Hydrostatic

Cutting up to 3.8 acres per hour, the Dixie Chopper BlackHawk 48in 24HP Kawasaki zero turn mower powers through thick southern turf without engine hesitation. Commercial mowing contractors face lost profits when small-chassis mowers lack the torque to process wet Bahia grass or climb ditch banks. This 48-inch machine pairs a welded 10-gauge steel cutting deck with a commercial 24HP Kawasaki FS730V V-twin engine, maintaining an aggressive 18,500 FPM blade tip speed at forward transport speeds up to 9 MPH.

Hydro-Gear ZT-3200 commercial transaxles provide responsive ground drive control, tracking straight along property perimeters and pivoting around tight landscaping borders. The deep fabricated deck structure generates high airflow velocity that stands limp grass upright, dispersing fine clippings uniformly across the lawn. Operators remain supported across long cutting shifts thanks to the Operator Controlled Seating (OCS) system equipped with vibration-damping elastomeric springs.
