Ariens Apex 23-HP 52-in V-Twin Zero-Turn Lawn Mower

Avoid buying from Lowes

Ordered the Apex 52 with a confirmed delivery date of 6/9/26. The night before received a text that delivery was scheduled for 6/9/26 between 7:30 and 11:30Am. Morning of 6/9/26 received an email stating that machine would now be delivered on 6/11/26 (or later). Called customer service, response was "I'm sorry" and that's all we can do. I took the morning off from work to be here for delivery (unpaid I'm self employed). Disappointed with Lowes never again.

Ariens Apex 52 is a great quality mower

I did my due diligence to find the right ZT mower for my ~2 acre lawn. Ariens was my pick for quite a few reasons but the main focus points were the hydrostatic drive units, the power plant, deck construction, and quality. My only concern was that I wanted to support my Lowe’s store but read on line that there were problems with support when buying Ariens anywhere other than an authorized dealer. Well, that’s not the case for me. First, the Apex 52 is an awesome beast and exceeded every expectat...

Apex 52

I recently purchased an Apex 52 in and this is the best lawnmower purchase ever made

Nice machine if it worked

Defective from the factory. Took delivery on a Wednesday, machine seemed really nice with a sturdy build and quality components (transaxles and engine are commercial quality). Took delivery on my lunch break during the work day so I didn't have time to play with my new toy until after work that day. After work I was like a kid with a new toy cruising around my yard thinking about the time I will save mowing my grass, then I engaged the deck to test out the cut quality and my nightmares began...

N/A

I like the quality of the mower and that it has the Hydro Gear 3100 transaxles. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a hitch and mat.

Well built solid machine!

I had been thinking about upgrading to a zero turn mower for some time now. I did some research and comparisons and I decided to give Ariens a try. I’m very glad I did. I could not be happier with this mower! This thing is solid, built very well for the price! The deck is hard mounted so you can even use it as a step, it doesn’t move. The discharge chute locks upright which is an awesome design! Makes trailering it and storing it much easier, no more bungie cord. My land is not flat with some hi...

Great mower! Rome, GA Lowes was horrible!

I researched zero turn mowers for about 10 months. I finally landed on the Ariens Apex 52" from Lowes. I purchased my new mower from the Rome Lowes about 2 weeks ago. I also researched and purchased a Husqvarna 525l trimmer. I had to wait for the trimmer for 30 plus minutes because the associate could not find the security key to unlock them. After paying for the mower, trimmer and other supplies, I was told to let them load it while they looked for the key to the mower. The associates loaded th...

Ariens / Gravely vs Lowes....

First off...I did my homework. This IS the same exact mover as the Gravely ZT HD 52. Same, Same, Same other then paint on this model and dont let anyone tell you any different. However....If you expect lowes employees to assemble this mower and have it prepaired for "gravely quality" your mistaken. Be prepaired to bring it home, go over it with a fine thooth comb, set the deck level as per spec, check the height of the drive handles and adjust to your height. Check/adjust the forward speed...

Apex 52

I have a yard with a large steep berm in the back and had been using a 24 hp Kohler lawn tractor to mow. Until the motor seized up. Just finished mowing with the Apex and it is a beast. Handles the berm better than my lawn tractor did with a far better cut done way quicker. My only knock is it rides very stiff. I just ordered a suspension seat for mine.

This is Commercial Grade Mower

Excellent High Quality mower at a Great price
