Looking for a good zero turn, max 48" cut, on a budget. Not necessarily a high end mower.

Anyone have any review or experience with them? I don't know anything about them other than they are laid out very similar to Gravely (visually some components are nearly identical) and much more affordable.

I've got the Ariens Apex 52" with the Kawasaki motor. It's a very good unit. I believe Ariens owns Gravely.

Gravely does own Ariens and It’s their version of a “residential” mower. Prattville Outdoors sells them. Very strong built mower and will run well with the Kawasaki motor.

Guy at my work has a 2 year old one that stays tore up. One of the drive motors is locked up now 1,700 for a new one. Doesn't even have a drain plug on it to change the fluid.

I have this mower and just use it for my residential use and I have no problems. I have had mine for a year. My only complaint is the minimum height for the deck is 1.5 inches. You can drop it by pulling the pin but my uneven yard would make it a rough ride and cut. Got a buddy that has the same unit for over 2 years and he uses it commercially and has had no problems.
