The Ariens
Ridgeline 32 is part of the
Lawn Mowers and Tractors test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Zero-Turn Mower
models like the Ridgeline 32 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Side discharging:
A high score means clippings are dispersed evenly and far from the discharge chute. A top-scoring model prevents clumps, leaving your lawn looking clean and well-cut.
Mulching:
A high score means the mower produces finer clippings and spreads them evenly across the lawn. A top-scoring model leaves little visible residue and helps maintain a neat, healthy yard.
Evenness:
A high score means the mower cuts grass more evenly for a smooth, carpet-like lawn.
