Ariens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ariens is a Brillion, Wisconsin-based equipment company which has a long history manufacturing snow blowers and lawn tractors for commercial and high-end consumer markets.[1] Ariens touts itself as being the "mower of the White House lawn".
Ariens snowblowers are characterized by a double drive system, where the blower is driven by the engine's crankshaft and the drive wheels are driven by the camshaft[citation needed] (which is a natural 2:1 reduction in driven speed). Older Ariens units used a very heavy gauge steel blower and rake (auger) design, and many of their older units remain in service after more than 30 years.
Ariens lawn tractors are generally characterized by independent left and right wheel drives, making steering a simple issue of traction and providing far smaller turning radii than most of its competition.
Ariens released an electric lawn mower in April 2009 through its dealer network and at Home Depot.[1] The mower runs for 75 minutes on a single charge.[1]
