Merkmale & Vorteile
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.
The mowing deck is the most heavily loaded component of a mower. Stability is particularly important here. The APEX has a 14 cm deep, fully welded mower deck made of 3.2 mm thick sheet steel with double spindle supports, 12.7 mm steel edge, enclosed anti-scalp wheels, all-steel pulleys, welded 4-point suspension and high-quality blade spindles made of forged aluminium. Everything about it is designed for a long service life.
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.
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.
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.
The soft, adjustable seat with high backrest is equipped with padded armrests for greater comfort even during long periods of mowing. Coil spring damping absorbs shocks on uneven surfaces.

Janitorial services
The constantly changing activities of a janitor service are part of daily routine. Regular lawn mowing is often perceived as a chore and is particularly time-consuming. With a zero-turn mower, you'll be done faster. You can save up to 40% time compared to a conventional lawn tractor. The Ariens IKON is made for private gardens of any size or even semi-professional applications. For smaller janitor services, it is the ideal machine for mowing green spaces quickly and maneuverably.
Leisure Facilities
Camping sites and playgrounds are usually very winding. A zero-turn mower is ideal here and fully in its element. You can steer around obstacles with absolute maneuverability and precision. You can drive around a tree in one go. A zero-turn mower makes your work much easier.
Service providers
Time is money for a service provider. Modern zero-turn mowers are therefore particularly popular with them. Time savings of up to 40 % come into their own here. Daily changing job sites and high annual operating times place demands on the material. The Ariens APEX and ARROW zero-turn models bring momentum and speed to the daily work of lawn care service providers.
