Product Features
A 48-in. ENVY™ Elite fabricated deck, 5½-in. deep and built from 10-gauge steel, is engineered for airflow and lift — a durable, high-capacity deck for demanding properties.
The 23 hp / 726 cc Kawasaki® FR691V engine brings commercial-grade power to the APEX 48, paired with Hydro-Gear® ZT-3100® transaxles for confident speed and control.
A fully tubular steel frame with self-adjusting belt technology stands up to daily use, while a high-back padded seat and armrests keep operators comfortable all day.
The foot-operated deck lift makes raising and lowering the 15-position deck quick and easy, so you spend more time mowing and less time adjusting.

I have really gotten comfortable with the new mower. The 48-in. deck cuts cleanly through thick grass, and the ZT-3100 transaxles feel strong and confident on my sloped lawn.

Just got my 50hr service and couldn't be happier with my APEX 48. It handled everything I threw at it around 3 acres — never thought this mower was such a beast!!! 💯 satisfied.

I have only had it about 3 months, but I wish I had bought it years ago. It has plenty of power for what I use it for and has been a life saver on my new property.

We have had our APEX 48 over a year now and it has been an essential part of taking care of our acreage. It chews through everything in our pasture, including the brutally strong Colorado ragweed. Great power, excellent turning radius, smooth engine, and a comfortable high-back seat. We are 100% satisfied.

I bought this mower to replace my old zero-turn. Cut quality on my lawn is great once I dialed in deck wheel clearance to 1/16 - 1/8 in. The seat could use a bit more cushion for my back, but overall a very capable machine.

I purchased two months ago and have put over 45 hours on this mower. This is a very strong machine and I have been impressed. It's very easy to use.

I have owned many small mowers over the years. I was in the market recently shopping for a zero-turn between a few competing brands, and after a long period of research comparing product vs price I decided to go with the APEX 48.

My APEX 48 is an amazing mower. I absolutely love it. Everything has worked very well and has that feel of quality. I would buy this mower again without thinking twice.

I purchased my APEX 48 in December and have 77 hours on it already. Considering it is a compact mower, it has more than enough power to get just about any job done, and it can get into tight areas where a larger machine wouldn't be able to.
