ARIENS IKON XD 42 Zero-Turn Mower

Power and Precision on Medium-Sized Lawns: Ariens IKON XD 42

The Ariens IKON XD 42 Zero Turn Mower brings professional performance to medium-sized lawns up to 10,000m². Combining impressive speed, operator comfort, and durable engineering, this riding mower turns everyday mowing into a fast, precise, and enjoyable task. Its zero-turn design enables on-the-spot changes in direction and effortless control, allowing you to reduce mowing time significantly compared to using a conventional ride-on mower.

Robust and Reliable Kawasaki Engine

Powering the Ariens 42 zero turn is a dependable Kawasaki FR651 726cc V-twin engine, known for its smooth delivery and lasting reliability. This 4-stroke OHV engine generates an impressive 14.5 kW (19.4 hp) at 3,600 rpm, providing consistent torque for a clean, even cut. It starts effortlessly with electric key ignition, ensuring the IKON XD 42  is ready to go whenever you are.

Capable of reaching up to 11.3 km/h (7 mph), with reverse speeds of 4.8 km/h (3 mph), the Ariens IKON XD 42 handles large lawns with minimal fuss. Its generous 10.5-litre fuel tank supports long mowing sessions with fewer stops, making it ideal for users who value productivity and uninterrupted work.

Hydro-Gear Transmission for Seamless Control

Smooth, responsive movement is a hallmark of the Ariens IKON XD 42, thanks to its Hydro-Gear EZT® 2200 transaxle system. This advanced hydrostatic setup integrates the oil pump, motor, and gearbox, producing steady power with exceptional reliability. Delivering an impressive 291 Nm of torque, it reacts instantly to each steering adjustment, maintaining control even around tight corners or obstacles. The result is confident, effortless manoeuvring across every part of your lawn.

Durable 107 cm Cutting Deck

The Ariens IKON XD 42 features a durable 107 cm (42-inch) welded steel deck. Crafted from 2.9 mm-thick sheet steel and reinforced around the blade mounts, this heavy-duty construction delivers long-term resilience and consistent accuracy. The three blades, engaged by an Electric Warner® electromagnetic clutch, produce an immaculate, professional-grade finish on every pass.

The deck’s deep design enhances airflow, creating strong suction for excellent grass lift and side discharge. Even in damp conditions and when dealing with dense growth, it provides a clean, even cut.

Precise Height Adjustment for Custom Results

Adapting the cut to suit your lawn is quick and easy when you own the Ariens IKON XD 42 Zero Turn Mower. A conveniently placed rotary dial provides 13 cutting heights, ranging from 3.8 cm to 11.4 cm, offering full control over the finish. The deck can be raised or lowered with a foot pedal, making transitions between cutting zones seamless.

Anti-scalp wheels help protect the grass from accidental scraping, even on uneven ground, ensuring that the Ariens IKON XD 42 always delivers a consistent, polished result.

Constructed for Strength and Longevity

Durability is central to the Ariens 42’s design. The fully welded tubular steel frame offers excellent resistance to flexing, maintaining the machine’s stability and strength. Unlike bolted constructions, the solid framework supports smoother operation and precision alignment, making the IKON XD 42 a smart long-term investment in your garden.

A1 Operator Comfort

Built with the driver in mind, the Ariens XD 42 prioritises comfort without compromise. The high-back luxury seat provides outstanding lumbar support, while the armrests and padded control levers also help minimise strain during extended use. Large-diameter tyres—22 x 8.8 inches at the rear and 11 x 4.5 inches at the front—enhance stability, traction, and comfort.
