Ariens APEX 60

The Ariens APEX 60 Kawasaki® (Model 991163) is built for serious mowing power and professional-grade performance. At its core is a 24 HP, 726cc Kawasaki® FR730V engine—the most powerful in the APEX lineup—delivering reliable strength for large and challenging lawns. Its 60-inch ENVY™ ELITE CUTTING SYSTEM deck is fabricated from 10-gauge steel, 5.5 inches deep, and designed for optimal airflow and a clean, consistent cut. With a fully tubular steel frame, self-adjusting belt technology, and a foot-operated deck lift with assist spring, this mower is engineered for durability and ease of use. The Hydro-Gear® ZT-3100® transaxles provide smooth handling and ground speeds up to 8 mph forward and 4 mph in reverse. Comfort comes standard with a high-back padded seat and armrests, while 15 cutting positions and a 5.1-gallon fuel tank make this zero-turn mower ideal for residential acreage and light commercial use. Backed by a 4-year or 500-hour warranty, the APEX 60 is ready for whatever your property demands.
