I've owned my RIDGELINE 52 for two years and couldn't be happier! It's extremely well designed and manufactured. I use the 52" fabricated deck with the bagger and mulch kits. I'm really impressed with the engine's power under heavy use. The deck's cut quality is excellent, and the hand-operated lift is quick to adjust. Two thumbs up!!!

I have 7 acres of grass to cut. At first I thought I had spent too much on this mower. But after cheaper machines broke down after a few years, I finally gave in to Ariens. The quality is much better, and standing on this platform lets me get on and off fast between stops. Cuts down on your mowing time considerably.

Now that I've used the RIDGELINE 52 a little more, I am even more impressed. It lets you concentrate on placing the mower exactly where you want it. I wanted to cut tight around obstacles without slowing down — it does this well. The deck cuts excellently and the transaxles respond smoothly.

I had to replace my 23-year-old mower and did some research before purchasing a RIDGELINE 52. It sure was the right move. I've cut down on my mowing time and the deck does a great job scattering clippings evenly. Great overall quality.

I have worked with heavy equipment for over two and a half decades, and this machine reflects real engineering care. The stand-on platform, the Kawasaki® engine, and the fabricated deck all feel built to last. If you want a mower that behaves like commercial-grade equipment, buy this one.

This is my 6th mower and it is the best yet. The biggest improvement is in the deck — it's built better than any of my previous units and does a better job mowing, and with the optional mulch kit I get a beautiful looking lawn.

The deck gives a groomed finish while marching through tall grass with ease. With power to spare it really cuts mowing time. Awesome machine. Pros: quick step-on/off, small footprint, perfect cut.

I traded in an older RIDGELINE for this one, so I am familiar with the machine. Good mower, plenty of power. Keep an eye on the air filter and clean it after a few hours in dusty conditions and it runs perfectly.
