Collection: Ariens

AriensCo began in 1933, when Henry Ariens and his three sons—Steve, Leon and Francis—developed the first American-made rotary tiller, at a time when other manufacturers were experimenting with imported tillers. It took many years of experimentation, training and perseverance before rotary tilling became accepted as a proven farm tool. The Ariens family conducted educational programs to teach commercial growers, nurserymen and landscapers how the new Ariens Model A tiller, powered by an air-cooled engine, “plows while it clears while it harrows.”

Many commercial tiller models followed, all aimed at improving production for horticulturalists across the country. AriensCo introduced the more compact Model B Tiller, the Roller-Tiller, the Multi-Tiller Tractor Tiller, the Jitterbug, a single-row front tiller, and the Tillivator RC for celery growers in Florida.
