New zero turn option from Ariens

Ariens is adding a new zero turn mower to its range for this season.

The Zenith 60 is the largest zero-turn in the company’s range and features a high capacity 152cm cutter deck and ground speed of 14kph going forwards and 6.7kph in reverse, which combined with the ability to turn on the spot, is designed to significantly improve productivity.

The 10-gauge deck is designed with 14cm depth providing the optimal airflow needed to tackle tough mowing conditions. A constant belt tension system ensures the correct tension, minimising wear and heat while providing enhanced belt life with minimal adjustments.

Frame design is based on large tubular frame rails as a backbone to support the machine load, and the frame itself is fitted with a ROPS as standard.

The high back padded seat features armrests and integrated seat isolators to help absorb impacts on uneven surfaces.

Ergonomic controls include a foot operated deck lift system for raising the deck when travelling over paths and gravel areas, and there is a choice of 15 cutting positions in 0.6cm increments which can be simply adjusted using the vertical pin selector.

Power is supplied by a Kawasaki V-Twin 726cc engine. The Zenith comes with a two-year commercial warranty or three-year residential warranty, and is available from the end of March.
