Key Features & Benefits
Powerful Kawasaki Engine: The mower is equipped with a premium Kawasaki FX 850V engine, renowned for its uniform torque curve and double filter system, ensuring performance and durability at the highest level.
New Ariens ENVY-Pro Mower Deck: The 60″ deck has been completely redesigned for the best possible grass distribution and cut quality. Welded from heavy-duty 4.6 mm thick sheet steel, it offers the robustness required for years of professional use. Its deep construction is perfectly suited for installing the optional mulching kit.
Premium Parker® Hydrostats: The high-quality Parker® HTG hydrostats are known for their smooth response when changing from forwards to reverse. Paired with large 26-inch rear wheels, they offer maximum driving comfort and reduce wheel spin during turns. The system is designed with extra-long oil change intervals to avoid inconvenient workshop visits during the peak season.
Air-Ride Comfort Seat: Operator comfort is paramount. By pressing a switch, the air suspension of the Ariens AIR-RIDE seat can be adjusted exactly to the operator’s weight and preference. Special vibration isolators shield the seat from vertical shocks, while the extra-high backrest, adjustable armrests, thick padding, and integrated lumbar support offer maximum seating comfort for all-day operation.
Durable Construction: The SUMMIT PRO 560 features new high-performance blade spindles made of cold-forged aluminium, which are resistant to vibration and dissipate heat effectively. The entire unit is sealed to prevent corrosion. The large 15-inch front wheels are semi-pneumatic (filled with rubber foam), ruling out flat tyres and pressure loss. The entire machine is built on a fully welded tubular frame, where large square tubes are seamlessly joined for a solid, durable foundation.
