Ariens Ikon XD review // Best residential zero turn mower for 2020?

In this video I show the new for 2020 Ariens Ikon XD 42" zero turn mower and show all the features and how it mows. I've been incredibly impressed by the performance of this zero turn. I think it would be a great addition to any homeowner, from someone who just mows to the guy who is obsessive with their lawn.

I bought this exact mower yesterday and I am nothing but happy with it. Not really a big fan of the orange color, but I didn’t really buy it based on looks I wanted a good solid reliable lawnmower that will get the job done and last and this particular model it’s hard to find anything bad out about it through all the reviews. I tackled the house next-door that has been abandoned for more than 20 years the grass was over knee-high and he plowed right through it and I did not even hear the engine so much as twitch. This is just a fantastic lawnmower and if there’s anybody debating on whether or not to get one of these do yourself a favor run don’t walk and buy one

I just bought this mower yesterday. I agree with everything that you said. I live in Wisconsin and much to my surprise it was made right here in Wisconsin. On my first try I used it for 2.5 hours nonstop. I have never used a Zero Turn before and it took a little getting used to. I am a little bigger than you are and the only thing that I did not like is that my legs got sore at the bottom of the control arms. I will have to make a guard or a pad. My yard is bumpy, so full speed is a bit much. It is nice that I can go faster on the smooth areas. I thought it was great that the motor kept up no matter if the grass was thick or thin, fast or slow. It even done well on a small hill that I have. I think that you done a nice production on your video and a nice job on your presentation. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😎

I have an old Gravely and it is super awesome. And it is made by Ariens, so I really like these new products.

Spot on this is a great residential mower….much better than a stamped deck two years mower….this mower will last for years to come if using for your home of 1/2 acre to 1 and 1/2 acres….Highly suggested the advise of purchasing from a dealer…3year warranty on this machine…for 3k it is a great mower…

I bought the 52 inch today and I cannot wait to use it. Thanks for the review

[jeffbrazill]

Loved the kid flyby at 1:24. Something my daughter would do too.

[billbrown]

I just bought this same mower yesterday. I have the 52” deck. I cut my 4 acres of land with it and took no time at all. Love this mower

[Tolohtony]

This exact mower should be waiting for me in my driveway when I get home. 🤗

Hands down Ariens makes the best snowblowers.That being said I totally trust your opinion.Great review.

I bought a zoom 34 Ariens and use d it commercially for 5+ years. Not saying everyone would get those results. But im buying one of these for commercial business.

[WhoDaBoss-dcor]

I drilled 1/2" holes in the edges of the pulley covers so I can blow out the grass each time I use it. I highly recommend this.

@Brett's Grasscapades, 5/30/21, I just got a Gravely ztx42 (identical), just right size for my property (Tot:<$4100). Come leaf season I'll get an Ohio Steel lawn sweeper. This is a great machine, priced right w/o going comm-grade.

[lazarusgrey]

Another outstanding review👍. Very cool of you to reference Paul Sikkema’s channel. I love his reviews too.

I've been looking at Ariens for a while. But who couldn't be a fan of a free mower?

[smaknk]

My first thought was why are you mowing fake grass (LOL). Nice lawn bro! ...and thanks for taking the time for this video.

If the non serviceable hydros are a concern, look at the gravley zt xl 42 it is the exact same mower from the same factory but with the hydros and the engine upgraded to the zt-2800 which are serviceable, and has a 21.5 Kawasaki or a 24 Kohler engine.

After all the Quirks and Features© I was let down that we didn't get a BrettScore at the end.

[jeffbruce]

Mine broke down after one season came out to oil in my floor and no mower so far this season. Transaxle is not serviceable. It’s hard to find a service shop in my area that will even work on it because I bought at Lowes they are backed up with the ones that they have sold. So I’m out of luck. It’s still under warranty but man what a pain. Buy from the dealer

[Volkl]

a trip!! Keep up the entertaining reviews! :)

[dolphbabyface]
