ARIENS Zero Turn Apex Mower (48 inch)

Built for Demanding Work with Long-Term Strength

The Ariens APEX 48 Zero Turn Ride-On Mower is designed for serious users who demand strength and performance. With a fully welded curved tubular steel frame, this mower is built to handle tough conditions. The frame acts as the machine’s skeleton, holding everything in place and absorbing shocks and vibrations during regular mowing. Thanks to modern bending techniques, the design avoids weak spots and ensures long-term durability. This mower is ready for demanding jobs and frequent use across varied terrain.

Powerful Kawasaki Engine and Commercial-Grade Speed

At the heart of the APEX 48 is a Kawasaki FR691 V-Twin OHV engine with a displacement of 726 cm³. It produces a maximum of 20.8 horsepower at 3,600 rpm. This reliable engine delivers the strength needed for commercial mowing jobs. Paired with Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles, the mower can reach speeds up to 8 mph forward and 4 mph in reverse. The 19.3-litre fuel tank ensures fewer stops, letting you work longer without interruption.

New ENVY Deck for Superior Cutting Performance

The APEX 48 features the new ENVY mower deck for improved airflow and larger discharge capabilities. This 122 cm fabricated deck is made from 10-gauge steel and reinforced around the blade support area. It has a depth of 14 cm to handle large volumes of grass with ease. The 4-point suspension keeps the deck level for consistent cutting. Forged aluminium spindles offer better cooling and withstand impact and vibration better than cast versions. The result is a cleaner cut and extended component life.

Consistently High-Quality Cuts with CBT Technology

With the Constant Belt Tension (CBT) system, belt tension stays steady throughout operation. This technology increases belt life and ensures consistent blade performance. It also reduces slippage and wear, helping to maintain high cut quality across every mow. The mower uses a V-belt spindle drive and an electric Ogura clutch for smooth and precise engagement. You get professional results with minimal maintenance or adjustment required.

Simple Cutting Height Control with Foot Pedal

Changing cutting height is fast and easy thanks to the foot-operated deck lift. Choose from 15 cutting positions ranging from 3.8 cm to 12.7 cm. A steel pin locks the position securely into place for consistent results. This system lets you adjust the cut quickly without slowing down your workflow. The design suits both short and tall grass conditions, giving full control throughout the year.

Comfortable and Ergonomic Operator Experience

The APEX 48 prioritises operator comfort with a plush, high-back seat and padded armrests. Spring suspension in the seat absorbs bumps and vibrations on rough ground. The new ergonomic steering levers fit comfortably in your hands for better control. Even during long mowing sessions, the layout and comfort features help reduce fatigue. The drive system responds quickly to inputs, allowing smooth operation with minimal effort.

Designed for Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Use

The deck is easily accessed from above, making cleaning and maintenance quick. CBT technology allows for fast belt replacement in just a few steps. The entire machine is built with longevity in mind, from steel spindle shafts to StressProof components that handle heavy loads. With an optional ROPS system and range of accessories, you can tailor the mower to suit your needs. The compact 201 cm length makes it easy to store and manoeuvre.

Commercial Power for Serious Lawn Care

The Ariens APEX 48 is built for users who need commercial-grade performance in medium to large areas. Its compact design allows great manoeuvrability, even around obstacles and tight spaces. Whether discharging or using the optional mulching kit, this mower delivers clean, even results. It combines power, precision, and comfort in one dependable package. For professionals and frequent users alike, the APEX 48 is a smart investment in quality mowing.
