The Zenith’s top speed and 180-degree turns mean it mows faster

Cutting time for cutting grass
FOR THE PROFESSIONAL operator, a machine that does the work in half the time of a conventional lawn tractor has to be a major consideration. This potential to increase productivity is one of the driving forces behind the popularity of zero-turn mowers in the UK. The Zenith 60 is the latest zeroturn in the Ariens range. It has been designed for durability and strength. Powered by the reliable Kawasaki FX730V 726cc engine, the Zenith has a forward speed of 8.5mph (13.7kph) for fast mowing. Its speed and manoeuvrability cut down job time, without compromising on finish. Easy steering levers are all the operator needs to drive, brake, steer and spin on the spot. It negotiates objects easily. At the end of the mowing row it can be turned 180º, saving more time and avoiding going over already cut grass.

contribution to greater productivity. Built with 10-gauge steel its 14cm (5.5in) depth gives optimal airflow in all mowing conditions. The footoperated deck lift system provides effortless adjustments between 15 cutting positions in 6.35mm (0.25in) increments. The Constant Belt Tension System ensures the correct tension, minimising wear and heat while providing enhanced belt life. The Zenith features an industry-leading frame design with large tubular frame rails as a backbone to support the machine loads. To keep the operator comfortable, the high-backed, ergonomically designed, padded seat not only reduces user fatigue, but also helps to absorb the impact on uneven surfaces. The Zenith 60 comes with a two-year commercial warranty or three-year residential warranty. www.ariens-uk.com

COUNTAX GARDEN TRACTORS have been made in Britain for over 30 years and have a reputation for being built for British weather conditions. A key feature of the Countax is the Power Take Off (PTO) which drives the Powered Grass Collector (PGC) and a range of accessories. Countax has now introduced the PGC+. An accessory which transforms a C or B Series tractor into a multi-use, year-round workhorse. The PGC+ is a cassette system which allows you to quickly and easily switch accessories for specific tasks. The Grass Sweeper cassette comes as standard. Click it into place and 51 brushes rotate at over 1,100rpm to sweep grass clippings and other debris into the hopper, even when the grass is wet. Installing the Scarifier cassette into the PGC+ reduces the need for a separate scarifier and it collects debris as it goes. Using the PGC+ is simple. There is no need to unhitch it. By removing the need to purchase standalone machines the system can help save money, too. Additional cassettes are coming shortly, including a hard surface brush cassette. www.countax.co.uk
