Ariens garden tractors

Anybody own one? I have a GT18, fully hydrostatic, with front, middle and rear PTO, and hydraulic lift. 3 Point hitch and grader blade. It continiously proves itself as a big little tractor. I have a 4' York rake with back blade that has done all the grading that I have attempted. Anybody out there with any expieriences with such a machine?

You'll find lots of members here with Tractors since the original membership kind of migrated from a tractor-themed forum.

I don't know of anyone with an Ariens tractor of your specs. There are a few people with New Hollands in the 18 HP range and probably a few smaller Kubotas. Ariens is a bit of a small time player in the tractor market so you don't hear much about them.

I have a 26HP Mahindra 2615 Gear tractor. It's pretty much a plain jane model but it's done everything I've asked it to do.

You can check out the Forums sister board: www.nettractortalk.com for mostly tractor themed discussion.

Sounds like a good tractor Bulldog. How about a pic or two of it?
We like tractor pics!!!!!
I've heard of Ariens, but never seen one.

Like PB said, I believe that it is a smaller tractor than most of you have, but it has lots of power. I have a 48" deck mower, that will mow as fast as you can drive! I have seen rear tillers, front loaders, baggervacs, dual wheel kits, most things that are available for larger machines. I have no pics right now, but I will round a few up.
