The Ariens Max Zoom 60-Inch Zero-Turn Mower is the largest machine in Ariens’ Max Zoom series. The 2 smaller models are the Ariens Max Zoom 48 and the Ariens Max Zoom 52 zero-turn mower. The Max Zoom 60 is also often referred to as the Ariens 991087 mower. The mower deck on this model is large, with a 60-inch width of cut. The mower deck is made of 10 gauge welded steel and houses 3 mower blades. Each of these blades has a top speed of 18, 000 fpm (feet per minute) when measured from the tip. The mower deck can be raised and lowered from 1 inch (2. 5 cm) to 5 inches (5 cm) above the ground in 9 different height settings. Raising and lowering are controlled by a foot pedal.
The Ariens Max Zoom 60″ lawn mower is powered by a 0. 726 liter Kawasaki FR series twin cylinder engine. This 4-stroke engine produces 26 hp. Engine power is transferred to the mower deck via a belt drive system. A dual hydrostatic transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheels. The amount of power that is transferred to each wheel is controlled with the 2 lap bars located in front of the operator.
There are a number of different ways that the operator can handle grass debris on the Ariens Max Zoom 60 Inch Zero Turn Mower. Many commercial landscapers, when working on residential contracts, collect clippings in a rear bag that must be purchased separately. However you can also use a special mulcher attachment that cuts up the clippings so thoroughly, they quickly disintegrate back into the ground. Of course, if you wish, you can always dump the grass clippings over the side of the mower deck, even if it is very unsightly.
