Let’s be honest, not all lawns are worthy of a machine of this caliber: tons of power that delivers a meticulous cutting performance on a mower with a distinctive design. That’s the Ariens APEX. Different models are equipped with a Kawasaki FR V-Twin or a Kohler 7000 Series V-Twin. Either one will help you quickly transform any grass into a beautifully manicured lawn. And this machine looks as great as it mows, with phenomenal graphics and a new premium stitched high back seat.
