I did find that information about Ariens just seemed not to appear after about 1990, thanks for confirming that sales did drop in the late 1980’s which would explain why I couldn’t find anything!
Interesting that you sold the tillers with snowblower attachment, first hand knowledge is always good. Thank you.
For research it’s always difficult to find enough information about any machine or manufacturer so it’s nice to fill in gaps from info from people who actually dealt with the machines in question. Reports and editorial from the time in newspapers, magazines and also brochures cannot always be relied upon, sometimes I leave out information on my articles quite often simply because there’s some doubt about whether the supplied newspaper/magazine information is actually correct – especially when there’s contradictory data and reports!
