1998 Ariens Garden Tractor
Grand Sierra
22 HP, 60" Deck
Fantastic Garden Tractor, matter of fact, the only real true GT ariens made that was as good or better than anything else out there in it's class.
It has a 22HP Kohler engine, very strong and has been reliable as the day is long.
The step through design was the first of it's kind, today everyone has copied their lead.
The decks were not included in the price, you had to buy them separately. IIRC, I paid something like a grand for the 60" deck. They are a breeze to remove, though I rarely need to do so.
Pros:
Build quality
Decks
Strong engine
High back seat
Power Steering
Hydraulic deck lift
Front and rear implement PTO
Shaft drive to deck
950 lbs w/o deck
Cons:
They don't make it anymore
Date Purchased: 1998
Price Paid: $7000 USD, roughly.
Recommend: Yes
