Technical Data
Accessories
Mulch kits
For installation in side discharge cutter decks. With every rotation of the blade, the mower sucks up grass in the closed cutting chamber, where the clippings are cut several times before they fall finely chopped onto the lawn.
Striping kit
There is nothing more pristine in the spring and summer than a newly mown lawn with stripes. Add that finishing touch with a striping kit that easily mounts to ZENITH, APEX and IKON XD side discharge models.
Trailer hitch kit
Transform your Ariens zero-turn into a versatile machine simply by adding the hitch. The kit's robust design allows you to tow a range of accessories.
LED headlight kits
Mow longer, later, and safer with a headlight kit from Ariens. For mounting on the side frame. For ZENITH, APEX and IKON XD.
Floor mat (IKON XD)
For the IKON XD. Increases driving comfort. The mat absorbs vibrations on the feet and prevents feet from slipping while driving and when dismounting. 100% weatherproof rubber. Easy to remove for cleaning.
Zero-turn cover
Protect your investment and extend the life of your equipment with an Ariens zero-turn cover. Fits EDGE, IKON XD and APEX models.
Customer reviews
James and I have been running our gardening business for 12 years now doing both domestic and commercial grounds maintenance. We chose the 42″ IKON for ease of access on UK sites and quality of cut. We attended the Lawn Care Legends demo at Ariens in 2019 and loved the IKON.
Applications
Private gardens
Ariens zero-turn mowers are not only for professionals and service providers, but also for private users. Zero-turn mowers are available in different sizes and cutting widths for private lawns from 1,000 m². The compact Ariens EDGE and IKON models are made for winding gardens and narrow driveways. Saving time is also the main advantage here. Mowing fun comes as standard.
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.
