Learn MoreLet’s be honest, not all lawns are worthy of a machine of this caliber: tons of power that delivers a meticulous cutting performance on a mower with a distinctive design. That’s the Ariens APEX. Different models are equipped with a Kawasaki FR V-Twin or a Kohler 7000 Series V-Twin. Either one will help you quickly transform any grass into a beautifully manicured lawn. And this machine looks as great as it mows, with phenomenal graphics and a new premium stitched high back seat.
23 HP, 726cc V-Twin Kawasaki FR series engine is a commercial grade power plant that features cast iron cylinder liners for long life, automatic compression release for easy starting and internally vented carburetor for better fuel management
52-Inch commercial grade 10-gauge welded deck design that's 5.5 inches in deep with a reinforced leading edge provides the airflow needed to tackle tough mowing conditions with an increased evenness of cut
Commercial hydro-gear ZT 3100 trans axles provide enhanced torque and load capacity with mowing speeds of 8 mph forward and 4 mph reverse
Self-adjusting belt tension technology keeps deck belt tension constant, which maximizes belt life, minimizes wear and maintains a consistent, quality cut with minimal adjustments necessary
Easy and intuitive foot-operated deck lift system provide effortless adjustments between 15 cutting positions in 1/4-in increments from 1.5 inches to 5 inches with a simple vertical pin selection
Commercially inspired design with automotive style welded steel frame rails and ROPS (roll over protection system) capable
Backed by Ariens 4 year/500 hour limited warranty (whichever occurs first, see warranty download for full program details)

I would recommend this mower.
Have not used my new Ariens. I have owned Ariens and had great service from them. I am sure that I will get great service from my new Ariens.

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...

Ariens apex 52
The mower itself is a great machine! The assembly completed by lowes was less than satisfactory! if you buy from lowes to save a few bucks. GO OVER EVERYTHING before you even start it. You will thank me later!

I would buy it, just not from Slowes
bought this 6k mower online, they were going to deliver it 2 days later--it was in stock. lady called next day and said it would be a day late. no big deal, next day came and no mower and no call to say it wasn't coming. So Slowes Tractors supply sold me a big ole ZTR mower!

Great mower...powerful and precise.
Bought this to allow for volunteers to mow a large community property. Easy to operate and train new operators. Mows heavy grass very well, with large discharge chute preventing clogging. While large, great maneuverability allows for easy close quarters operation.

Solid well built.
I have had my Ariens Apex for almost a year now and my yard has never looked so good.

Lowes did a fantastic job.
Everything was great except when putting key in the ignition it broke. They were able to fix.
