Customer Reviews for Ariens Apex 60 in. 25 HP Kohler 7000 Series Twin Gas Hydrostatic Zero-Turn Riding Mower

Perfect machine in my opinion. I've been a heavy equipment mechanic my whole Life. My mechanic ability is top notch. For a mower I would recommend this product even if Home Depot discontinued this machine. It is worth your bang for your bucks. Servicing this machine will take no time at all for there is no grease fittings period. My five acre lawn take no time to mow either even though it's pretty rough. I just had to slow down a bit to smooth out the ride. It made my yard look the best I've seen since owning my property now 10 years.I'm also thinking this is my last mower in this lifetime. Who ever gets it when I'm gone will have an awesome machine when My day is done. Home Depot didn't do them self justice by discontinuing the Arien Apex 60. My dealer is an hour and a half away. Don't believe I'll ever have to go that way. I love this Zero Turn and the power it delivers.

I waited until I put 5 hours on the machine before writing this. I had one glitch with the assembly done by the delivery company but I fixed that problem myself in less than 5 minutes. The mower is outstanding and performed extremely well under the conditions that I used it. After cutting my home yard I took it to my 3.5 acre property and cut that as well. The grass there was between 6 and 9 inches tall. I set the cutting height to 2.75 inches. I got full 60" swaths cut, no hesitation, no bogging, and overall, very little effort on my part. The controls are easy, the seating is comfortable, and the mower was firmly planted to the terrain. I actually cut my home yard and the 3.5 acres on less than one tank of gas. This machine is a brute when under pressure and very comfortable when cutting normal height grass like at my home. The controls are easy to reach, easy to operate, and very functional. At this point I do not see any issues that would prevent this mower from continuing to perform as it has so far. Taking everything that I experienced into consideration, I would highly recommend this mower to anyone looking for a heavy duty lawn mower for either large cutting areas or commercial use.

Good... price, bang for your buck it's very nice. Mows great. Goes through tall grass very well. There are some nice design features. Like changing deck height and deck travel position. The rubber shoot is stout and locks in the upright position. The bad... no lights. No hitch. No finish rollers.no roll bar. I guess that's how they keep the price down. I'm sure u can add any of these features that u need. I put a hitch on mine. Overall a good buy. I'm glad I bought it.
