Saw a Pro Model Arains max zoom 60 today

[cletus99]

I didn't come back and post it in this thread I just started a new thread, but I emailed Ariens to find out the difference between the Gravely ZT HD and Ariens Max Zoom. They are the same mowers besides the optional engines. I reposted the email I recieved back from them below. My question to them is below their response.

Thank you for contacting the Ariens Company.

The only difference is that the Gravely ZT HD 60" has the option of a Kawasaki engine (model number 991084) or Kohler Courage engine (model number 991091). The Ariens Max Zoom 60" has the Kohler Courage engine.

Please reply to this message with any further questions or concerns. We are happy to help.

Thank you,

I was wondering what you could tell me the difference was between the Ariens Max Zoom 60 and the Gravely ZT HD 60 mowers? I've read in different places that these two mowers were identical besides the color paint. Can you please confirm if this is true or if one has more heavier duty parts over the other or what exactly the difference is between these two mowers?

My Max Zoom 48 is still going strong. I mow about two acres and have about 12 hours on it. No complaints other than I need to switch to light ATV tires for the rear as I do have some hills and if it's wet, I'm prepared to go for a sliding ride - but that's true for just about any ZT mower.
