Our take on the Ariens Co. Ariens Apex Zero Turn Mower

The Ariens Apex 52 is a residential zero-turn mower built around a 52-inch, 10-gauge fabricated deck and a 23 hp Kawasaki FR691 V-Twin. Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transmissions and 22-inch rear tires give it 8 mph forward speed and steady traction on slopes. It sits above Ariens' entry Ikon line and below commercial machines, with a 4-year consumer warranty and ROPS capability that many rivals in its class lack. Owners rate it highly for cut quality and comfort on larger lawns.

Questions and answers

Is the Ariens Apex 52 good for a one-acre lawn?
It will handle one acre easily, but the 52-inch deck and wide footprint are more machine than a small, open lawn needs. It makes more sense on two or more acres or on lawns with long runs.
How does the Apex compare with the Ariens Ikon?
The Apex uses a deeper 10-gauge fabricated deck, Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transmissions and a larger Kawasaki engine. The Ikon is lighter and simpler, aimed at smaller lawns and tighter budgets.
Can I use a ROPS and bagger on it?
The Apex is ROPS capable, so a folding roll bar can be fitted for hilly terrain. Ariens offers a matching bagger and mulch kit for the 52-inch deck.
What engine does the Apex 52 use?
It uses a 23 hp, 726cc Kawasaki FR691 V-Twin OHV engine. That is a widely serviced engine, so parts and dealer support are easy to find.
How fast does it mow?
Top ground speed is 8 mph forward and 4 mph in reverse. That is quick for a residential zero-turn and cuts mowing time on large, open lawns.
Does it handle hills well?
The 22-inch rear tires and ZT-3100 transmissions give good traction on moderate slopes. Very steep grades still call for the ROPS and careful, straight-line mowing.
