We had to see the photos before we believed it.
Phil Shann from Central Groundcare & Machinery contacted us about an Ariens Zero-Turn used at the historic Mallory Park racing circuit. According to Phil, the mower had passed 4,000 hours and was still working.
Then the photos arrived.
The hour meter shows 4,332.7 hours.
This Ariens IKON XD 52 carries the marks of a machine that has done serious work. The seat is worn, the deck is covered in grass and the bodywork shows years of use. It hasn’t been prepared for a showroom photograph. It was photographed as a working mower.
Operating conditions, servicing & maintenance all affect machine life, so one example can’t predict how long every mower will last. Even so, seeing an Ariens with more than 4,300 recorded hours still in service is a customer story worth sharing.
Thank you to Phil for bringing it to our attention, and to the team using it at Mallory Park.
How many hours has your Ariens recorded?
