Zero turn ride on lawn mower

Zero Turn in a Compact Package: The Ariens 52 Inch, 24 HP Kawasaki, Hydrostatic Stand-On Zero Turn Mower

Sometimes a zero turn rider just doesn't suit the task. Perhaps the ride on lawn mowers are particularly hilly or steep. The Ariens 52 Inch, 24 HP Kawasaki, Hydrostatic Stand-On Zero Turn Mower represents an interesting alternative to the more traditional zero turn approach. Instead of sitting down on top of a rear-mounted engine, the operator literally stands on the back of the machine. This design offers several advantages and drawbacks.

In terms of benefits, this machine gives you Ariens zero turn cutting for a little less. At around $5,999, it's a price break of around a thousand dollars. You still get the 52 inch deck, and you still get the 24 HP Kawasaki engineó-the two most important features. Additionally, the machine is more compact. It's easier to store and easier to transport to the job site. A lot can be said for commercial performance in a small footprint. The machine's lighter as well, while still sporting a 7-gauge steel deck.

Inherently, the Commercial 2452, as this machine is known, is also much safer than its rider brethren. Zero turn mowers have an increased risk of rollover on hills due to their higher centers of gravity. The Commercial 2452 is a safer overall platform because the operator is not sitting down. If trouble arises, merely step off the machine and walk away. The machine does quite well in terms of traction also. Since the user stands on the rear, the weight is distributed directly over the back wheelsó-on the drive tires–and this increases grip.

Operationally, the machine does have a few flaws. The rider stands about a foot above the ground. A driver, standing upright, has a harder time mowing under branches and other obstructions. Balance is also key, as a jarring ride or collision can knock the driver off the machine. Finally, operator fatigue is an issue. Most Ariens zero turn mowers come standard with an ergonomically designed high-back seat, complete with armrests. On the Commercial 2452, you'll be standing all day.

But on the whole, this particular Ariens deserves careful consideration. If you don't mind standing, the Commercial 2452′s unconventional zero turn approach represents the best of every world: value, safety, ruggedness, and efficiency.
