Ariens Company introduces
Auto-Turn steering technology
Ariens Company recently unveiled Auto-Turn
steering technology for the company's line of
Sno-Thro snow blowers.
"The revolutionary new Auto-Turn technology
changes the snow removal experience without
adjusting speed or engaging triggers or levers," said
Angela Raddant, snow product marketing manager for
Ariens Company. "The technology is exclusively available on Ariens two-stage Sno-Thro
equipment and enables operators to turn effortlessly without adjusting speed."
Auto-Turn steering technology makes snow removal easier, faster, and more
comfortable for the operator. The feature eliminates the need to take large loops during a
turn, instead making even, tight turns from the center axis of the machine. Now, operators
can avoid straining and pulling while initiating a turn, instead guiding the snow blower
precisely and smoothly without adjusting speed. Auto-Turn increases efficiency and
maneuverability, while decreasing operator fatigue and stress. Additionally, no manual
adjustments are necessary to enable the Auto-Turn feature.
The Auto-Turn feature is available on Ariens Deluxe 28 and 30 wheel-drive models and
all models in the Ariens Platinum, Professional and Hydro-Pro families. It's also available on
Ariens Pro and Hydro-Pro track-drive models, improving the maneuverability of these machines,
which have superior grip and traction for removing snow on steep inclines or icy surfaces.

Toro S'No Risk Guarantee:
If it doesn't snow, Toro gives
homeowners their money back
The Toro S'No Risk Guarantee is set to kick
off early season snowblower sales by making the
purchase decision easier. Many homeowners worry
about spending money on a machine, only to go
through the whole season without any snowfall.
In other instances, they wait too long for a snow
event only to find store inventory has run out. This
program helps homeowners buy with confidence
and be prepared for winter in advance. It literally
takes the risk out of purchasing a snowblower,
offering homeowners money back if it doesn't snow.
The S'no Risk Guarantee is simple:
Homeowners who purchase any Toro snowblower
register their machine online. If it snows less
than 10 percent of their area's average snowfall,
Toro will give them their money back. If it snows
less than 50 percent of the average, Toro will
refund 10 percent of the purchase price. Best
of all, homeowners get to keep their machine,
being assured they'll be able to tackle any future
snowfalls.
"Research tells us that this offer really increases
the likelihood of pre-season purchase," said
Christine Cheng, Toro marketing manager. "Many
homeowners start out the season, planning to buy
a snowblower, but wait to see what the weather
will bring. This program takes away that purchase
barrier. They are ready in advance of any snow,
and if it doesn't snow, they are financially covered."
The S'No Risk Guarantee purchase time frame
runs from Aug. 1 through Nov. 15, 2013, and is
good on any Toro snowblower.
Toro has created a website (toro.com/
snorisk) that includes full details on the program.
Homeowners visit the site to register their product
and to monitor the snowfall in their area. Official
snowfall totals are measured by National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reporting
stations across the country.
Toro electric, single-stage and 2-stage
snowblowers are available at authorized Toro
dealers and select Home Depot stores.
