Ariens Apex 48

Made for service providers who mow frequently. Top components in the engine, drive and cutter deck combined with an excellent price-performance ratio.

With a cutting width of 122 cm and its Kawasaki FR691 726 cm³ V-Twin engine, the APEX 48 is designed for commercial use on medium-sized and larger areas. It ejects the grass via its side discharge or can optionally be operated with a mulching kit (with closed side discharge). With a cutting width of 122 cm, it is particularly manoeuvrable between narrow obstacles and on contoured, undulating surfaces.

Curved tubular steel frame

The frame, made entirely of tubular steel, forms the skeleton of the mower. It bears the entire load of the machine for many years and must be able to cope with shocks and vibrations over the long term. State-of-the-art bending technology avoids weak points due to welded joints.

New ENVY mower deck

The mowing deck is the most heavily loaded component of a mower. Stability is particularly important here: The new ENVY mower deck has improved air flow and an enlarged discharge. Lying grass is lifted higher and cut perfectly. With 4-point suspension for permanent fixation and parallelism. Furthermore, Blade spindles made of forged aluminium. Cooler running and more impact and vibration resistant than cast spindles. Standard in the course of the 2025 season on APEX and ZENITH & the new IKON.

Automatic belt tensioner system

The automatic CBT (Constant Belt Tension) technology keeps the belt tension of the mower deck constant at all times. This increases the service life of the belt, compensates for wear and prevents belt slippage for a consistently high-quality cutting pattern.

Mower deck lifting by foot pedal

The solid cutting deck is raised conveniently and effortlessly using a foot pedal. To select one of the 15 cutting heights from 3.8 – 12.7 cm, a metal plug is inserted into the respective recess in the display.

Easy access to the mowing deck

The mowing deck is easy to access from above for cleaning and maintenance. Thanks to CBT technology, changing the belt takes just a few minutes. Simply slacken the tensioning pulleys, thread in the belt, tension the tensioning pulleys again – done.

New ergonomic control levers

The APEX series offers enhanced operator comfort with new ergonomic steering levers that fit perfectly in the hand for easy control. A thickly padded seat with a high backrest and adjustable operator position ensures maximum comfort. Thickly padded armrests further enhance the user experience, making long mowing sessions more enjoyable.
