APEX 48 Zero Turn Mower

Description

Made for service providers who mow frequently. Top components in the engine, drive and cutter deck combined with an excellent price-performance ratio.

With a cutting width of 122 cm and its Kawasaki FR691 726 cm³ V-Twin engine, the APEX 48 is designed for commercial use on medium-sized and larger areas. It ejects the grass via its side discharge or can optionally be operated with a mulching kit (with closed side discharge). With a cutting width of 122 cm, it is particularly manoeuvrable between narrow obstacles and on contoured, undulating surfaces.

Curved tubular steel frame

The frame, made entirely of tubular steel, forms the skeleton of the mower. It bears the entire load of the machine for many years and must be able to cope with shocks and vibrations over the long term. State-of-the-art bending technology avoids weak points due to welded joints.

New ENVY mower deck

The mowing deck is the most heavily loaded component of a mower. Stability is particularly important here: The new ENVY mower deck has improved air flow and an enlarged discharge. Lying grass is lifted higher and cut perfectly. Standard in the course of the 2025 season on APEX and Zenith.

The APEX has a 14 cm deep, fully welded mower deck made of 3.2 mm thick sheet steel with double spindle supports, 12.7 mm steel edge, enclosed anti-scalp wheels, all-steel pulleys, welded 4-point suspension and high-quality blade spindles made of forged aluminium. Everything about it is designed for a long service life.

Automatic belt tensioner system

The automatic CBT (Constant Belt Tension) technology keeps the belt tension of the mower deck constant at all times. This increases the service life of the belt, compensates for wear and prevents belt slippage for a consistently high-quality cutting pattern.

Mower deck lifting by foot pedal

The solid cutting deck is raised conveniently and effortlessly using a foot pedal. To select one of the 15 cutting heights from 3.8 – 12.7 cm, a metal plug is inserted into the respective recess in the display.

New egonomical features

The soft, adjustable seat with high backrest is equipped with padded armrests for greater comfort even during long periods of mowing. Coil spring damping absorbs shocks on uneven surfaces. With the new drive lever handles fit better in the hand and are ergonomically shaped.

Easy access to the mowing deck

The mowing deck is easy to access from above for cleaning and maintenance. Thanks to CBT technology, changing the belt takes just a few minutes. Simply slacken the tensioning pulleys, thread in the belt, tension the tensioning pulleys again – done.
