Ariens SUMMIT PRO 348 48″ Zero-Turn Mower

Compact Power for Precision Professionals

The Ariens SUMMIT PRO 348 serves as the perfect introduction to commercial-grade zero-turn mowing for professional service providers who demand compact power without compromising on quality. Expertly designed for tight spaces and undulating terrain, this model boasts a 48-inch cutting deck that strikes a perfect balance between exceptional manoeuvrability and robust performance. Built with the same outstanding durability as its larger siblings, the 348 offers exceptional reliability for contractors managing structured landscapes and properties with restricted access.

Thanks to its heavy-duty construction, the SUMMIT PRO 348 is engineered to withstand the rigours of daily commercial use. Whether facing dense turf, high workloads, or long operational hours, this mower consistently delivers a clean, precise cut. Its smaller footprint facilitates easier transport and access to hard-to-reach areas, making it an invaluable addition to any fleet for maintenance teams managing complex grounds.

Powerful & Reliable Performance

At the heart of the SUMMIT PRO 348 is a premium Kawasaki FX 801V engine, renowned for its high-quality components and materials suited for large-scale lawn care. This power is channelled through a professional-grade Parker® HTJ hydrostatic drive system. These high-quality hydrostats are celebrated for their smooth response when transitioning between forward and reverse, and in combination with the large 24-inch rear wheels, they provide maximum driving comfort and reduce wheel spin during turns. With extra-long oil change intervals, the system is designed to minimise inconvenient workshop visits during the busy season.

Heavy-Duty ENVY-Pro Cutting Deck

The Ariens ENVY-Pro mower deck has been completely redesigned to ensure the best possible grass distribution and cut quality. It is fabricated from welded 4.6 mm thick sheet steel, offering the robustness required for years of professional service. The deck’s significant depth makes it perfectly suited for the installation of an optional mulching kit. Durability is further enhanced by new high-performance blade spindles made from cold-forged aluminium, which are resistant to vibration, dissipate heat effectively, and are sealed to prevent corrosion from moisture and dirt.

Operator Comfort and Convenience

Ariens has designed the SUMMIT PRO 348 with the operator’s comfort in mind for long working days. The integrated mechanical full-suspension seat can be precisely adjusted to the rider’s weight, while foldable armrests and adjustable lumbar support are essential for protecting the back. Productivity is maximised with a large 48-litre fuel tank, reducing the need for constant refuelling. The mower also features large, 15-inch semi-pneumatic front wheels filled with rubber foam, completely eliminating the risk of flat tyres and pressure loss. Adjusting the cutting height between 2.5 cm and 13 cm is made simple with a rotary wheel and a spring-loaded foot pedal for easy deck lifting.
