Dixie Chopper, Maker of the World’s Fastest Lawn Mower, Is Going Out of Business
This story deserves to be shared
Send it to someone who'd care, or post it on your networks.
I remember when Dixie Chopper lawn mowers were the best around—or, at the very least, they were believably marketed as such. The sign at my local tire shop, which doubled as a Dixie Chopper dealer, touted them as the “World’s Fastest Lawn Mower.” Between that and the old men around me backing up the claim, I reckoned that it must be true. And now, Dixie Chopper is winding down.
Alamo Group Incorporated owns Dixie Chopper, and it broke the news to the brand’s dealer network in a letter recently. The plan, as Powersports Business and other outlets report, is to cease operations by April 1, 2027. That means the brand’s story will conclude some 47 years after it started in Fillmore, Indiana.

Proof An Old Dog Can Learn New Tricks - 2027 BMW X5 First Drive
The BMW X5 defined a new era for the German brand as SUVs started to take control of the mainstream. BMW doesn't think 'Sports Utility Vehicle' does its vehicle's performance and athletics justice, so the marketing is that the X5 is a 'Sports Activity Vehicle'. Now, the X5 is entering its fifth generation with a significant redesign and a move to BMW's Neue Klasse platform. That means new styling, a new interior, and new tech while maintaining what the X5 does best – comfort and convenience underscored by athleticism and driver engagement.

2027 BMW X5 First Drive Review: They Made an EV With an Inline-6
Imagine BMW without the X5? Though such a time did once exist, it’s difficult to recall. Nearly 30 years ago, the X5 opened the floodgates for SUVs (sorry—Sports Activity Vehicles) of all shapes and sizes to roll out of the company’s Spartanburg plant in South Carolina. This new, fifth-gen X5 marks arguably the biggest departure in the nameplate’s lineage, with a design that cleanly breaks from anything before it and a two-pronged powertrain approach that aims to keep purists happy while meeting future wants and needs. This First Drive will focus on the mild-hybrid, B58-powered 2027 BMW X5 40 xDrive; it starts at $73,550 delivered and is rolling into dealers as you read this. There’s also a rear-wheel-drive version for $2,300 less. The all-electric iX5 60 xDrive is covered in a separate story.
