I've owned snappers and a Dixon zero turn. Now I have Ariens 52 inch with the Kawasaki 23 hp engine has a 135 hours . Not a single complaint. Best mower I have ever owned. It will last longer than I will .

Show us how to adjust bars on new style ikon please

[bobjackson]

When I put the right steering handle in the same bolt holes as the left one it still sits lower than the left handle. Any suggestions?

Please do one of these for the 2023 iKon 42. My dealer cannot get it right. It mows crooked forward and reverse. The bar even look even visually. The bars hit the drink holder area and control panel area when going in reverse before hitting the stops.

What that tools you using in the video

My Ariens 52 zero turn left hand gear stick is not working. Is it the hydraulic gear or pump or damper?

Is there a way to grease the front arm bushings? I see no grease fitting.

Brand new Ikon and only the right lever will engage the transmission. The left side does not engage at all. I did check the speed bolts

I am having an issue with my machine since new.
I purchased the ikon xd 52 about 10 months ago and I'm happy with it for the most part. In forward it runs straight but in reverse one wheel is very slow and the other is too fast causing one wheel to slip on the grass when turning and I find it very undesirable and doesn't seem normal compared with other machines I have used. Is there a way to adjust that (only when reverse), is there air in the system or is it a hydro problem?

[johnmoskal]

Is there any way to adjust the tension of the steering levers? They seem to move too easy while resting my hands on the levers mowing and if hitting any bumps . Thanks

[adamcroxton]

My new ariens does pretty good in forward but turns to one side really bad in reverse with both levers are pulled back. How do u adjust that?

[justdofus]

Are they any other grease fitting other than the two front wheels?

[Jclark]

Still have one side that is way under power going up a incline is difficult

1:23 - Did y'all ever find that nut?

If not, it's probably hanging out with all your lost 10mm sockets.

My left side hydro is noisier than the right when moving forward and backwards. I sure hope its not low on fluid or faulty. I only have 25 hours on it and only 1 year old. Anyone know what I should do or check? I have a 2020 Ikon XD42 bought from Lowes since I could finance it.

9 and 11 psi? But the tire says 22 I believe?

0:58 Be sure to wear work gloves while checking the tire pressure. You never know if OSHA Is watching.

Here's a possibly stupid question. Why don't they install the engine facing the other way so that the oil drain is at the back where you could install a permanent drain tube instead of having to keep up with that silly clear plastic hose? Here's another stupid question. Why is it that most Ariens owners on youtube can't pronounce "Ariens"? They all say "Aryans", like they've never heard the name before. I'm considering getting one of these soon. I have an ancient Ariens Sno-Thro made in 1965 that still fires right up by the 1st or 2nd pull.

Wow - nothing in the book about this. Nut fell off after first use and then I had to figure out what was going on....
