Arien Mowers, should you have one in your shed?

Man there are alot of mowers out there. Which one is right for you is a tricky choice. Heck they all do the same thing - reduce the size of your grass and they have different prices and there are lots of different brands with all these different attachments. All the different brands have their ranges of mowers to suit your size lawn so in the end it all comes down to a brand that you can trust to build mowers that will last a long time, have little to no problems and will stand by you if there are any. And of course do it within your budget.

So lets have a look at Ariens, Ariens started in 1933. Henry Ariens and his three sons, Mando, Leon and Francis lost their foundry but with plently of ideas and a sturdy garage they turned their plans into reality. With a ,500 loan borrowed against Henry's life insurance policy and another ,500 raised by selling shares of stock to a family member, the four men got to work to develop the first American-made rotary tiller. It took the Ariens family many years of experimentation, education and perseverance before rotary tilling became accepted as a proven in the US. In 1958 they came out with their first Riding Mower and things went from there adding in Snow Thro'ers and Zero Turn Mowers.
The last three years have come up with a number of new developments

And best of all they are about to come out with a ride on electric mower with as much power as a conventional petrol mower, with only half the noise. Itcan be charged in 16 hours which will run the mower for 1.5 hours. This is the first electric ride on mower on the market and plans to be sold for ,299 at Home Depot stores and Ariens dealerships beginning in May 2009. Ariens' market research showed that consumers wanted an all-electric riding mower, for environmental reasons, and they also wanted a mower that was quieter and produced less vibration, said Dan Ariens, company president.
"Those consumers are everywhere. I don't think that regulations have to drive the choices that people make," he said.

All in all Ariens is a great old company that is looking towards the future and will serve you well.
