The Ariens Zoom XL 48-Inch Zero-Turn Mower is the mid-size machine in the Ariens Zoom XL series of mowers. The smallest model is the Ariens Zoom XL 42, while the Ariens Zoom XL 54 is the largest and most powerful model. The Zoom XL48 mower is also known as the Ariens 915165. The engine used to drive both the wheels and the blades is a Kawasaki FR-series twin-cylinder engine producing 24hp. It has a size of 0. 726 liters and is a 4-stroke model. It uses a key start system.
Using the Hydro-Gear ZT2800 transaxles, the operator can control the speed of the Ariens Zoom XL 48″ zero-turn mower, as well as its direction. These transaxles allow power to be varied between each rear wheel. This allows the operator to easily execute zero radius turns. The rear wheels each measure 20×10 (20 inches in diameter, 10 inches wide). However, since the front wheels don’t do much more than keep the mower deck from scraping the ground, they are much smaller. Each measures 11×4 (11 inches in diameter, 4 inches wide). You may also notice the small plastic wheels on the front of the mower deck. The purpose of these is simply to prevent the mower deck from scraping the ground it is riding on.
The Ariens Zoom XL 48-inch zero-turn mower has a top speed of 6. 5 mph (10. 5 km/h) which makes it pretty good for bigger jobs. To raise and lower the cutting deck of the Zoom XL48 mower, it is necessary to use a foot pedal. The mower deck can be raised from 1. 5 inches to 4. 5 inches above the ground in 7 different positions. One of the extras that this mower includes is an hour meter. This allows the operator to time exactly when to service.
