BEST RESIDENTIAL ZERO TURN MONEY CAN BUY | ARIENS APEX 52

Looks like crab grass. They make some Pre-emergence spread you can put out at a certain time of year to help get rid of it.

I'm actually looking a few mowers and narrowed down to this one or the Toro Titan. The only thing that has me leaning (barely) towards the Titan is it has chain hangers for the deck that allow it easily rise up with the anti-scalp wheels. How well does the deck on this one rise when it hits a bump or do you have problems with scalping?

Great review and thanks for the video.

I mow about half an acre. I know this is overkill but from research, you can’t beat this for the money. Build quality, deck, transmission, motor plus the warranty. Nothing else touches it. I think I’m buying one.

That's an oil filter? It looks like a fuel filter to me. All oil filters I've ever seen always attach directly to the engine.

Would want a kasusaki engine or bs

The biggest problem I’ve seen is no grease zest on front spindle and water leaks in to them and front wheel want turn 😢

Looks like dallis grass and I had to use Target 6 MSM to get rid of it

I have a Apex 60 . Bought it new in 2021 have 165 hours on its still like new love it.

Dallisgrass?

After researching ZT's for weeks I finally bought my first ZT in 2022. It's the same one, Ariens Apex-52, it's been a great mower so far. 👍

this is nice for sure but i love my spartan rz

Check out trac seats suspension kit. They're available for most zero turns.

i have the 2023 gravely zt hd stealth edition it has the 10 gage x factor 3 deck, and i put the Power Equipment Man air cleaner on mine,really like the mower.

The 42 Ariens is a piece of 💩

I respectfully disagree. I have a 2023 Ariens Ikon Envy that I'm having to practically rebuilt. It's a POJ.

I wonder how much trouble it would be to have an air seat like in big trucks, Peterbilt etc

I have a Zenith 60.

With that ball hitch i wonder if you could attach a tow behind mower to make it a wide area mower for a fraction of the price.

Crab grass. Lay down a pre emergent herbicide in spring when forsythias start to bloom. Scott's with Halts works well.

johnson grass. Dig it up and get rid of it. Dig it up!!

That is a weed ( Dallas Grass ) !

I have the gravely version- only difference is the color and warranty length. Comercial blade tip speed and weight make it almost Comercial but it is 100% large residential. The anti scalp rollers and desk mechanics works amazing

I got the gravely zt hd 60" I love it

Will this mower fit on a 5 ft. trailer Tyler? I mean once you lift up the chute.
I think thats crab grass.

I have the same mower and I love it. The one thing I don’t like though is that there is a rattle somewhere when the PTO is engaged. Curious if you’ve experienced that at all?

I keep it full throttle when PTO is on, but sometimes there can be a lot of screeching and rattling under there and I just hate how it sounds

Just retired my 11 year Ariens Zoom XL 54 and was going to replace it with the Gravely equivalent from a local dealer. Just couldn't do it though, not offering a 54" was a deal breaker for me; bought another brand instead.

The biggest simplistic improvement to my yard after construction was to get a small plugger to aerate my lawn. I was lucky to find one on sale years ago or maybe rent one . Twice (spring and fall) changed everything.

i just bought the same mower and I'm very happy with it.

Don't forget to adjust the two anti-scalping on the inside rear

Yes Sir. I have a 2021 model with 205 hrs. I’ve had no issues other than the wheel lugs come loose on the rear tires. Check them regularly. I mow 8 acres every week with mine. The Ariens blades are trash. Buy the Gravley laser edge blades. They are $100 a set but you’ll spend less than on the Ariens cheap ones. And the laser edge blades you don’t have to sharpen. They wear and layer by layer peels off and leaves a sharp edge. I live in central SC where we have very sandy soil. It wrecks mower blades. Love my mower

I do not think that there is a better cutting mower on the market.

Wheelies are important? Grow up.

Great video! I have a gravely pro stance 48” that I am thinking about getting rid of. Not really crazy about standing up and mowing after all. Where did you get your mower? My local gravely dealer doesn’t carry the ZT HD models?

Does it handle hills well

Could also be daligrass if it has black seeds on the stalks

I wanted an Ikon until I figured out they don't have serviceable transaxles because I could get one with a 42" deck. Guess now I'll have to keep saving and get an Apex 48" as they don't offer a 42". I'll remove the grass chute to make it narrower, or just leave it in the up position all the time. Have a big fir tree in my back yard that has tap roots above ground in all directions so I tend to mow at about 3.5" to clear all of them. Guess I'd need to set the anti-scalp wheels at their lowest hole so they'd sit the highest. Have about 1.5 acres to mow.

I just bought an Apex 52 here in the Netherlands. Great machine! Thank you for your review.

Let me know. Do you agree or disagree with me?
