Fits Ariens Apex 52 Deck

This unit fits Ariens Apex 52 Deck The only problem is the small screws could be half an inch longer which prompted me to go to the hardware store to get slightly longer screws. Otherwise it is very thick steel and will last a very long time.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Negative impression

Nice finish and metal strength

Purchased for my Gravely ZT HD which shares a frame with some Pro Turn models. This hitch has a beautiful black finish to match the color of the lawnmower and the metal is thick and strong. Two different length screws are included in the mounting kit - a nice touch. Gives strength and a finished look.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • old

Heavy duty, 5+ stars for durability

This clutch kit is real, thick. It comes with more hardware than you need to install (at least for Gravely). It's almost half the price of the official Ariens hitch and was easy to install on my Gravely ZT HD with a ratchet wrench. Access can be difficult with a standard outlet.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

It works great but was disappointed it wasn't ideal for.

High quality is MUCH harder. BUT it wasn't quite compatible with my pioneer Xmark S series. I had to bolt it to the rear grill instead of using the factory drilled holes. It works great but was disappointed that it didn't fit my lawnmower perfectly as advertised.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Empty

Stens 285-227 zero turn clutch

Perfect for my Gravely ZT52HD. Came with all necessary equipment. The finish is excellent. The only minor complaint was that I had to drill a small hole to install the hitch ball. Basically I had to remove all of the powder paint from the hole. Not a big deal, but will result in premature rust. Overall worth the money and savings over a factory product.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • No instructions

Heavy duty hitch! Worth the money

I wanted to make a hitch for my Pioneer EX-Mark. Then I saw this catch on Revain. The hitch arrived today and it is Super Heavy Duty 5/16 steel. There is a 10 gauge guard on the back of my mower that has multiple slots. The slots align perfectly with the hitch. It took no more than 10 minutes to mount the hitch. I need a hitch to tow a 3 acre fertilizer spreader. That's great!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine

This hook is a beast!

In my opinion you can buy this clutch kit for your Gravely ZTHD. It's very hard work in every way. The solid steel plate measures 3/8" and weighs a ton. Bolts, washers, and nuts (long and short) are equally strong and seriously do the job. And the design is smart - those slots are designed to accept bolts through 7.5" and 11.5" holes on lawn mower. If this hold fits your Gravely, it will stay with you forever. Very happy about that.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • There are cons

incredibly strong clutch Hard to tell from the picture but this thing is made of heavy gauge steel approximately 3/8 inch with nice coloring that will easily outlive your lawn mower. I wasn't expecting anything that substantial, the grade 8 bolts it comes with is similar to what you would expect to brace a car bridge given that probably half the cost of this product alone is in the hardware stuck. The slots make it practically universal as most mowers have a couple of screws at the back that…

Pros
  • works great for me
Cons
  • easy repairability
