The Ariens Lawn Tractor 42 is the smallest of the lawn tractors that Ariens currently offers. Larger models include the Ariens Lawn Tractor 46 mower and the Ariens Lawn Tractor 54 mower. The Ariens 42 ride on mower is powered by a 0. 597 liter Courage, 1-cylinder engine that has been designed and built by Kohler. This engine has a power of 19 CV. It transfers power to the wheels through a hydrostatic transmission. This transmission gives the mower a top speed of 8. 8 km/h (5. 5 mph) in forward and a top speed of 4 km/h (2. 5 mph) in reverse.
The Ariens 42 lawn tractor has a cutting deck with a 42-inch cutting width (you might have guessed that from the name!). This mower deck is made of standard 12-gauge steel to help prevent deflection in the event you hit a large object during operation. The mower deck can be raised up to 4 inches above the ground and lowered up to 1. 5 inches above the ground. This can be done in 0. 5 inch increments. The Ariens 42″ mower is designed for gardens between 0. 5 and 4 acres. The machine’s fuel tank holds 9. 5 liters of gasoline.
The Ariens Lawn Tractor 42 is highly maneuverable in tight spots thanks to its low minimum turning radius of just 16 inches. Even working on the soggy lawns, the Ariens 42-inch lawn tractor is highly unlikely to leave any string marks thanks to its fairly large and wide wheels. Each front wheel measures 15×6-6 (15-inch diameter, 6-inch wide, 6-inch rim diameter) while each rear wheel is much larger, measuring 20×8-8 (20-inch diameter, 8inches wide, 8-inch rim diameter).
