Aztec Rental: The Backfill

Good tips on chainsaw safety and felling trees.

Might be a little slow, but always good to remind yourself of the proper way to use a chainsaw.

[Stihl Chainsaws]

Stihl has added two new mid-range chain saws that feature low-emissions technology to their product line.

MS 311 Chain Saw Mid-Range User

This mid-range chain saw features an advanced anti-vibration system, improved fuel efficiency and reduced-emission technology as compared to previous models. The antivibration system ensures comfortable handling and operation, reducing operator fatigue.

It’s the ideal chain saw for felling, firewood cutting and storm cleanup. For longer operation time between filter changes, the MS 311 is also equipped with a new air filtration system.

The Oglebay National Training Center in West Virginia hosted the third year of the National Association of State Park Directors (NASPD) Leadership School.  The program began in 2008 and consists of both distance education and on-site components to educate future leaders of state parks.

Education within the Green Industry is becoming a top priority for the leading manufacturer of outdoor power equipment. [Stihl Support]

“STIHL recognizes the need for educational support and the National Association of State Park Directors does a great job of providing this ,” said Roger Phelps, promotional communications manager for STIHL Inc. “We have some experience with succession planning in our dealer network so helping ensure the next generation of leadership in America’s state park system receives this training in the face of severe budget cuts seemed the right thing to do.”

Are you a proud Stihl owner?  Maybe, a Stihl fanatic?

You can have your incoming calls sound like a Stihl Chain Saw. [ring tones]

Stihl MS880 Magnum Chainsaw with 59″ Bar

You can only refer to two things when looking at this chainsaw:

1) Crocodile Dundee:  That is not a saw.  THIS IS A SAW!

2) Tim Allen (Tim Taylor): Stihl MS880 Magnum chainsaw, With 121.6 cc displacement, 8.6bhp engine power, 59 in bar, ARRH, ARRH, ARRH!

FYI. We use this saw for bonsai tree pruning.

Ever wonder why you have never seen STIHL, the number 1 selling brand of chain saws, in Home Depot, Lowe’s or any other “box store”?

Well we actually get this question all the time, and I am sure STIHL gets the same one.

Question: Can I buy STIHL chain saws or any of their products in Lowe’s or Home Depot or any other “box store”?
Answer: NO, and has always been NO.

As a STIHL Dealer this answer is one of the many things we love about Stihl as a brand and company. The Mega Company probably has many reasons for this decision, but as we understand it, it comes down to one basic point. STIHL was built on quality, performance, dependability and innovation, so without knowledgeable people selling, servicing and giving product demonstrations to the end user, that foundation has a chance to lose its luster. This line of thought is why you can only buy STIHL products from certified dealers like Aztec Rental.

All STIHL dealers have to have on staff, employees that have been through numerous training levels for service and sales of all STIHL products, and must keep these certificates current. So when you come to Aztec Rental or any other STIHL dealer to purchase a STIHL product you get the knowledge of each product inside and out. Basically, we don’t think STIHL wants to put their product out, unless the people or company selling to the end user can represent their product as they would. Knowing how to service, operate, demonstrate, as well as know all the features, benefits and safety instructions is a must before it sold and handed over to the end user.

Combine that knowledge with experience and customer service, and you will get the product and model that is right for you. Not to mention before you walk out the door you will feel like a seasoned veteran, on the operation and product use.

Wouldn’t you know it that is what Aztec Rental was built on; Knowledge, experience and Customer Service!

This is a ad that you may have seen before that STIHL runs:

Aztec Rental is proud to partner with STIHL and can guarantee you with our customer service, experience and knowledge combined with the Quality, Performance, and innovation from STIHL; you will be happy and productive with your purchase.
