Midwest STIHL

Saw a press release the Midwest STIHL (Haward, WI) was merging with Mississippi Valley STIHL (Peoria, IL), at a new site in Cottage Grove, WI (East of Madison).

Not sure if this will make much of a difference to end users, but could affect dealers. Maybe affect some shipping times? More consistency between regions?

Saws and splitters loaded. Off to the Lions Club Meat Raffle-then some Sconnie hoops! See everyone at breakfast!

Was a good day at Denny & Barb's yesterday...
Before & after at the driveway entrance

Bunch more pics
skid steer & wheel loader working together

Making piles

That's a nice log pile!

Splitting crews

This pile did not exist at the beginning of the day.

Equipment made a lot of things easier

All in all, a good day.

Heard about this at the local shop recently. I believe the owner said shipping times are changing somewhat but beyond that he doesn't know much else either at this time.

Anyone know if there is a dealer south of the cities or even in the state that is a Tsumura dealer. Im looking for a light weight bar, otherwise i may go with a stihl.

Thats right, I remember you saying that!

I'm just surprised there aren't any regulars on here being that the #2 industry for that whole area is logging.

When did you graduate? I know a few people up there but many of the older ones have died and and younger moved away.

 

[GPX433Todd]
