ARIENS ZERO-TURN MOWERS

Zero-turn mowers are ride on lawn mowers with a zero-degree turning radius that is operated by 2 steering levers opposed to a steering wheel. These mowers are powerful, functional, and maneuverable, making them capable of taking on almost every kind of lawn. They're a popular choice for commercial and domestic use, when a medium-large cutting area is involved.

Ariens Zero-turn mowers all mow without a collection bag, a strong advantage of this is the speed it allows the mower to ride at, as well as meaning you don't have to continuously empty a collection bag. Depending on the area you're cutting, you have the option of side discharge, side discharge with mulch kit or rear discharge.

Cutter Deck Options:

Side Discharge
A Side discharge cutter deck gives you flexibility as an optional mulching kit can be fitted. Side discharge allows for very strong airflow to allow the machine to cut fine grass and well-tredden lawns perfectly, at the highest mowing speed. It also allows the clippings to be ejected to the side and therefore, distributed over a larger area, giving good visual results. The side discharge cutter deck especially copes very well with overgrown lawns without clogging up.

Rear Discharge
A rear discharge cutter deck is a robust deck that is a great option if the machine is used for everyday use. This deck will cut thin and well-trodden lawns and will distribute the clippings the full width of the cutter deck, and will give very good visual results with fine to medium grass thickness. Rear discharge copes well with overgrown lawns without clogging up, and allows closer to the edge of obstacles, to be mowed.

Mulch Kit
A mulching kit is an optional addition to all side discharge cutter decks, it provides a very even cutting pattern on low to medium height turf. A mulch kit allows for clippings to be chopped up finer and evenly distributed into the lawn, over the full width of the cutter deck. A visually appealing cutting pattern is created when a mulch kit is used, as the clippings dissapear almost invisibly into the lawn. There are various benefits of mulching, their main ones include that it keeps moisture and fertiliser in the lawn, protects the lawn from drying out and reduces the need for fertiliser by approximately 30%


Advantages of a Zero-Turn:

MOW FASTER - You can turn on the spot, allow for seamless continuation from the last cutting pass, they are very precise driving around obstacles and effective mowing saving time and fuel. A Zero-Turn mower is approximately 40% faster than a standard lawn tractor.

INCREASED COMFORT - Zero-turns have greater legroom, more comfortable seats for the operator and smooth operating features. Ariens Zero-Turns are equipped with a thick padded seat and arm rests with a high back rest, they also have adjustable positioning.

LONGER LIFESPAN - Their high quality steel frames and cutter decks, robust hydrostatic transmissions and premium quality engines ensure that Ariens Zero-Turns have a long life.

ENJOYABLE - The fast speed and maneuverability of Zero-Turn mowers and the fact that you don't need to dispose of cuttings, allow you more time for other activities.
