Be Thankful This Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for. Our freedom, our family and our friends are a good start. As we go into this holiday season we need to slow down and take the time to enjoy what we have. As we prepare to go into the frenzy of the holiday shopping and parties remember that we shouldn’t take any moment for granted.

If you are like I am, the holiday shopping wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the crowded stores and the lack of parking. The hustle and bustle is to some one of their favorite parts of Christmas. I on the other hand could do without that part of it. This time of year, or any time of year for that matter if you need a part for your chainsaw, or your snow blower, or your generator, why not avoid getting out at all. Use our handy online ordering and have the part shipped to your door. Let your mail carrier get out in the weather and you can order your part and sit back and wait for it to be delivered. Just one more thing to be thankful for.

My wish for all is a wonderful Thanksgiving, followed by a Merry Christmas and/or Great Holiday, and of course a Very Happy New Year.

Are You Ready For The Snow??


Winter is around the corner. How will you handle the cold weather and the snow that Mother Nature may send our way? If you are looking to buy a new snow blower there are a couple things you may want to consider before you make your purchase. Take the size of your driveway, sidewalk or walkway in consideration before you purchase one.


If you are only clearing a sidewalk or small driveway an electric snow blower might be the way you want to go. Electric snow blowers are nice because you just plug them in and go.


If you have a decent size paved driveway you might want to check into single stage snow blowers. These have a rubber tipped rotor that scoops the snow from the pavement & throws it out of it's chute. They are very fast and light weight.


If you have a very large or graveled driveway you will need a powerful two stage snow blower. The two stage blower have two points of contact with the snow. An auger bearks up the snow and then is throws it out the chute.
