Is there any way to disenage or disable it? I find myself wrestling with the machine to get both wheels turning in sync. Because of the uneven surface I think the easy steer system is a detriment to me. The "easy steer" system is probably fine for paved driveways but I live in the country and have a very large gravel driveway. I purchased the JD 1130E from Lowes in 2009. Then here are two more very insightful comments I've pasted from this forum regarding the Hilliard Auto-Loc mechanism, comparing John Deere's application vs. The latest Auto Turn releases power from the interior wheel for tighter turning radii, has a wet sump for longer life, and unlocks faster than the old system (formerly called ATC, Auto Traction Control). Along with the power upgrade from last year (up 2.0 ft-lbs torque), the Platinum 24 gets larger 16" tires and a 2nd generation Auto Turn. That is, the warranty and service process is unified for the machine and engine rather than having to work with the engine manufacturer to get service and support separately (although that is still an option). All Ariens AX engines and parts are serviced and supported directly through Ariens. LCT has a joint manufacturing partnership with Lauson/CPC out of Janesville Wisconsin who hold the remnants of Tecumseh Power.
The Ariens AX engines are contract manufactured by LCT which is a US company based out of Traveler's Rest, SC with manufacturing facilities in China.
The last of the US-made snow engines, the 305cc and 342cc, were discontinued when Briggs transitioned production from Auburn, Alabama to Chongqing, China.
The 250cc Briggs on the Platinum 24 from last year was also made in China, as are all Briggs snow engines starting this year. I've pasted his comments from this forum below: His mention of the new Auto Turn is near the end of his comments about the 2014 lineup of blowers (even the info on the engines is interesting to know!). These links explain this.ġ) from Snowmann himself (of the Ariens company. Note the reply numbers of the posters so you can find them!Īriens had the ATC system for several years, then improved to a better version of it for the 2014 lineup. Here's some further aid for this question: Please copy and paste the below internet links to your browser to get to the actual pages. Does anyone know the differences between the three if there are any? Also deere had a version called ez steer. But didnt they have "traction control" before on platinum and pro models. Does anyone know the differences between the autoturns? Ariens says it is the first ever seen on a snowblower.
