Ariens Company introduced five new products at GIE+EXPO 2012 in Louisville, KY.
The Hydro Pro 36 Sno-Thro features a Hydro-Gear transmission. The infinitely variable speed control makes things safer and easier for the operator. And the sealed transmission requires zero maintenance.
The Pro-Stance stand-on mowers now feature a redesigned foot platform that provides more leg room. Additionally, the foot platform can now be tilted up when operators would rather walk behind the mower.
The 21-inch Gravely XD3 walk-behind mower features a 4.5-hp Subaru EA175V engine. With a focus on user-friendly features, the XD3 is ideal for busy homeowners. (see photo)
Gravely has expanded its Pro-Turn commercial zero-turn mower lineup to include two new models. The Pro-Turn 400, already offered in both gas and diesel, is now offered in liquid propane.
Finally, the Gravely Pro-Turn line now offers three new “price point” models. Steve Demsien, vice president of marketing for Ariens/Gravely, says these new models still offer the primary features entry-level commercial cutters are looking for. Deck sizes are 48, 52 and 60 inches.
