This page gathers the Ariens garden and lawn tractors the register could not assign to a named range. Ariens, founded in Brillion, Wisconsin, specialises in garden and lawn-care equipment; the YT range (YT 11, YT 15H) denotes Yard Tractor models whose number gives the engine output in hp, while the Sierra range comprises lawn tractors with hydrostatic drive (H). On the older 1540 and 2246 types the type number traditionally combines engine output and mower deck width in inches, a scheme widespread among North American garden tractors of that era.

The register lists here 5 versions with 8.2 to 16 kW, or 11 to 22 hp, with petrol engines, including units from Kohler.
Ariens is one of the established brands of lawn and garden tractors in North America and competes there with makers such as John Deere, Cub Cadet and Husqvarna for private gardens, larger properties and municipal grounds care; the models gathered here cover the smaller end of that market, between a riding mower and a light garden tractor.
On used examples, the condition of the engine and oil-change intervals on the Kohler petrol engine, the condition of the mower deck and blades, the function of drive belts and hydrostat, and rust on the chassis count; spare parts are well available through the Ariens dealer network in North America, while in Europe they run only through specialist importers.
