They don't want to pay to train people or in some cases pay decent wages. They want to call some staffing service and expect people to just show up and weld a frame for a garden tractor. A person with those skills out of the box can find a better living hanging a shingle off their garage at home and work in the gray economy.
BTW, who the hell knew Ariens was still selling their shit products anymore? There are Wheel Horse, Gravely, David Bradley/Sears and John Deere clubs around. Ariens......not so much.
