The Ariens IKON XD 52 Zero Turn Mower offers professional-level mowing power and comfort to domestic and commercial users alike. Built to thrive in larger gardens, it combines precision engineering with outstanding ease of use. Its zero turn design allows you to cut mowing time by up to 40% compared to traditional ride on mowers, making it ideal for anyone seeking speed, efficiency, and a flawless finish to their lawn.

Every element of the Ariens IKON XD 52 reflects the brand’s commitment to durability and comfort. From the premium Kawasaki V-twin engine to the fully welded steel frame and deluxe driver’s seat, it’s a mower that feels as solid as it performs.

Powerful Kawasaki Engine

At the heart of the Ariens 52 zero turn lies a Kawasaki FR691 726cc V-twin engine, engineered for lasting reliability and effortless power. Producing 15.5 kW (20.8 hp) at 3,600 rpm, this OHV 4-stroke engine offers smooth, consistent performance, even during demanding mowing sessions. With a top speed of 11.3 km/h (7 mph) and reverse speed of 4.8 km/h (3 mph), the Ariens IKON 52 delivers both power and control. Its generous 10.5-litre fuel tank ensures fewer stops and more mowing time – perfect for larger properties or professional landscaping work.

Hydro-Gear Drive System for Smooth Control

The Ariens IKON XD 52 uses a Hydro-Gear EZT® 2200 transaxle system to deliver seamless drive and effortless manoeuvrability. Its integrated hydrostatic design—combining oil pump, motor, and gearbox—ensures consistent torque, smooth acceleration, and maintenance-free reliability. Producing an impressive 291 Nm of torque, the drive system responds instantly to every adjustment, allowing precise handling even on tighter turns or around obstacles.

Heavy-Duty 132 cm Cutting Deck

One of the many standout features of the Ariens ICON XD 52 is its robust 132 cm (52-inch) welded cutting deck, crafted from 2.9 mm sheet steel with double-thickness reinforcement around the blade supports. This durable construction provides long-term strength and stability, while the three-blade system, engaged through an Electric Warner® electromagnetic clutch, ensures an even, professional finish every time.

The 11.4 cm-deep deck creates a powerful airflow for excellent grass discharge, maintaining performance in wet or dense conditions. A 4-point dual-arm suspension system keeps the deck level across uneven ground, helping the Ariens 52 inch zero turn deliver consistently even cuts. With the brand’s advanced ENVY deck design, vibration is reduced, airflow is optimised, and the cutting results remain sharp and smooth throughout.

Easy-to-Use, High-Precision Cutting Height Control

Adjusting cutting height is effortless thanks to the Ariens IKON XD’s ergonomic rotary selector switch, offering 13 cutting height positions from 3.8 cm to 11.4 cm. The deck can be lifted conveniently using a foot pedal, ensuring quick adjustments when moving between different areas, while anti-scalp wheels prevent accidental damage to the turf. This easy-to-use system lets you achieve a professional finish whether you’re mowing ornamental lawns or tackling thicker grass on large properties.

An Incredibly Robust and Durable Machine

The Ariens ICON 52 boasts a fully welded tubular steel frame, designed to resist flex and stress better than bolted alternatives. This construction guarantees maximum strength and rigidity, maintaining stability and precision throughout years of use. It’s the foundation that makes the Ariens IKON zero turn such a durable and dependable machine.

Comfort and Ride Quality

Comfort is king with the Ariens IKON XD 52. Its plush, high-back seat, with armrests and padded control handles, helps reduce operator fatigue during extended mowing sessions. Large-diameter tyres—22 x 10.8 inches at the rear and 11 x 4.5 inches at the front—provide excellent traction and a smooth, stable ride. Whether you’re gliding across level lawns or working over uneven ground, the Ariens XD 52 keeps you comfortable and firmly in control.

Optional Accessories

To enhance customer experience, Ariens offers a range of accessories for the IKON 52. A dedicated mulching kit transforms grass clippings into a fine mulch that returns nutrients to the soil, improving lawn health and appearance. For storage and protection, an Ariens zero-turn cover lets you shield your mower from the elements, helping preserve its pristine condition. Both accessories are perfectly tailored for the Ariens ICON XD range and very easy to fit.
