The Ariens Zoom 42 Zero Turn Mower is also known as the 915159 Mower. This mower is powered by a Courage twin cylinder engine that has been designed and produced by Kohler. The engine has a displacement of 0. 725 liters and is started by a key start system using a 12 volt battery. The engine is a 4-stroke model and is fed through a gasoline tank with a capacity of 9. 5 liters. As Kohler is a well-known and trusted engine manufacturer, they have provided the engine with a 3-year warranty.
The engine supplies power to the wheels of the Ariens Zoom 42-inch mower through a Hydro-Gear EZT dual hydrostatic transmission which means no gear changing. It also means that the amount of power each (rear) wheel receives can be controlled independently. Lap bars control the amount of power each rear wheel receives. The front wheels of the Ariens Zoom 42″ zero-turn mower serve very little purpose other than to keep the mower deck from scraping the ground. And that’s why they’re so small, measuring just 11×4 (11 inches in diameter, 4 inches wide) each, while the rear wheels that drive the machine measure 18×8. 5 (18 inches in diameter, 8. 5inches wide).
The cutting deck on the Ariens Zoom 42-inch mower obviously has a 42-inch width of cut. It consists of 3 smaller blades, instead of one large one, which makes it much more efficient in cutting grass. The mower deck is made of 12-gauge steel. Raising and lowering the deck is relatively easy thanks to a foot lever. The platform is powered by a belt system. Unfortunately this machine does not come with headlights as standard which means it will be difficult to use in the dark. Models similar to this are the Ariens Zoom 34 and the Ariens Zoom 50.
