STIHL garden machinery – Stihl the best<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stihl the best!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this post we give some reasons why we\u00a0believe\u00a0(as do many others!) that STIHL<\/span> manufacture some of the best garden machinery available in the world today.<\/p>\n

\"originalThe STIHL name has stood for revolutionary technology and innovative ideas ever since the firm was founded. Throughout their 85-plus year history they have become the name for state-of-the-art engineering. The STIHL brand is known round the world today for quality and service. In more than 160 countries their products are helping people at work – and that has made them the world’s leading chain saw brand.<\/p>\n

STIHL started out as one man with a vision. Now, more than 80 years later, the STIHL Group provides jobs for more than 7,800 people, including 370 designers and engineers. As a company, we have over 35,000 Dealers in more than 160 countries and, due to the excellence of our products and craftsmanship, STIHL has become the preferred choice of many professionals and hobby gardeners worldwide.<\/p>\n

STIHL has been setting the standard for chainsaws<\/a> and other garden machinery<\/a> for 80 years. During this time, they have achieved a number of key feature breakthroughs.<\/p>\n

These include:<\/p>\n

Automatic chain oiling<\/strong> – the chain and guide bar are automatically lubricated by an oil pressure lubrication system in the handpiece (1934).<\/p>\n

Centrifugal clutch<\/strong> – this ensures that the saw chain is automatically advanced as the engine speed increases (1936).<\/p>\n

Anti-vibration system<\/strong> – the chainsaw is now equipped with an anti-vibration handle (1964).<\/p>\n

Electronic ignition system<\/strong> – appears for the first time on the chainsaw model 041 AV electronic, ensuring trouble-free starting and optimum combustion (1968).<\/p>\n

Chain braking system<\/strong> – the chain brake brings chain to a halt in a fraction of a second of the machine kicking back (1972).<\/p>\n

Single-lever Master Control Lever<\/strong>\u00a0– the functions cold start, start, run and stop are operated safely and reliably via the handle (1976).<\/p>\n

Ematic system<\/strong> – this reduces chain oil consumption, cuts operating costs and helps to protect the environment (1987).<\/p>\n

Catalytic converter<\/strong> – the first version for 2 stroke engines was developed reducing harmful emissions by 70-80% (1988).<\/p>\n

ElastoStart system<\/strong> – a dampener integrated into the handle absorbs the peak forces, perceived as jerks, when pulling the starter rope on chainsaws and other power tools (1991).<\/p>\n

Auger brake<\/strong> – the BT 106 C was the first earth auger to be equipped with a QuickStop drill brake for additional safety (1995).<\/p>\n

4-MIX technology<\/strong> – this revolutionary mixture-lubricated 4-stroke engine combines the advantages of 2-stroke and 4-stroke units providing fewer emissions, lower weight and high torque (2002).<\/p>\n

4-MIX engine<\/strong> \u2013 operates with the patented STIHL petrol-oil lubricating system. This ensures cleaner, more efficient engine operation, lower noise levels and favourable fuel consumption (2002).<\/p>\n

ErgoStart (E)<\/strong> \u2013 STIHL’s revolutionary easy starting system sets an additional spring between the crankshaft and the starter rope. The result is a simple and effortless two-finger pull-start (2003).<\/p>\n

Comfort saw chain<\/strong> \u2013 A significant stride in saw chain design, a newly profiled cutter produces a shock-absorbing effect as the cutting edge enters the wood. Chain vibration is reduced by as much 40% when cutting, making it more comfortable and safer in use (2003).<\/p>\n

Spring-loaded anti-vibration system<\/strong> \u2013 advanced spring-loaded system is proven to significantly reduce vibrations from the engine to the user’s hand (2005)<\/p>\n

2-MIX engine<\/strong> \u2013 with up to 70% fewer emissions and up to 20% less fuel consumption, STIHL 2-MIX technology guarantees greater engine efficiency and performance (2007).<\/p>\n

Long life air filter system<\/strong> \u2013 pre-separation air filter system extends the filter life by up to five times compared to its predecessor (2007).<\/p>\n

Lithium-ion battery technology<\/strong> \u2013 STIHL’s breakthrough 36 V lithium-ion battery technology powers the new light cordless hedge trimmer range (2009).<\/p>\n

Flood prevention system<\/strong> \u2013 the latest domestic grass trimmers (FS 40, 50, 56) benefit from a simplified 4-step starting system and an engine that is virtually impossible to flood (2009).<\/p>\n

Electric start<\/strong> \u2013 the STIHL FR 480 C-F backpack brushcutter can be started and stopped whilst still on your back by simply pressing a button on the multi-function handle (2009).<\/p>\n

Picco Duro chain<\/strong> \u2013 the world’s first ever carbide-tipped low-profile saw chain. Stays sharp for up to four times as long as standard saw chains (2010).<\/p>\n

STIHL M-Tronic<\/strong> \u2013 featured on STIHL’s most advanced chain saw ever \u2013 the MS 441 C-M, STIHL M-Tronic is a full electronic controlled ignition timing and fuel metering system. The carburettor is automatically adjusted to changes in altitude, temperature and fuel quality, ensuring optimum engine performance day in and day out (2010).<\/p>\n

STIHL Chainsaws<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n


\n\"Stihl<\/strong><\/em>STIHL chainsaws create international standards: they combine innovative technology, high performance, optimum ergonomics and low weight. Accordingly, through a process of continual research and development STIHL chainsaws have evolved into a range of specialist chainsaws to meet every application, including: work in your own garden, in agricultural and forestry cultivation or in orchard and plantation cultivation, with power ratings from 1.2 kW to 6.4 kW (1.6 HP to 8.6 HP).<\/p>\n

With a range of petrol and electric Stihl chainsaws to choose from (including a new range of cordless electric chainsaws), and a team of Stihl experts on hand to help you with your purchase, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding the right Stihl chainsaw to suit your requirements. And if that’s not enough, all STIHL chainsaws come with a 2 year warranty for peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Did you know?
\n<\/strong><\/em>
\nSTIHL is the only chainsaw manufacturer in the world that also makes its own saw chains and guide bars. This guarantees that these three components always work perfectly together.<\/p>\n

STIHL Hedge Cutters<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"stihl\"STIHL Hedge Cutters combine innovative technology, high performance, optimum ergonomics and low weight. Whether thick, long-shaped or in bloom, hedges, shrubs and ornamental trees are wonderful to look at – and hard work to maintain. That is why Stihl keep on developing high performance Stihl hedge cutters. All\u00a0Stihl hedge cutters<\/em>\u00a0come in a choice of petrol for the larger garden or for professional use in parks and gardens, and in low-noise electric versions, including the new cordless LI-ION hedge cutters, for hedges in and around domestic gardens.<\/p>\n

Stihl Leaf Blowers and Vacuums<\/a><\/h3>\n

STIHL\u00a0Leaf Blowers and vacuums really prove their value in gardens and traffic areas or parks. Fallen leaves, grass cuttings, general debris – nothing can withstand their powerful blast. Everything is cleared away quickly. The STIHL vacuum shredders pick up immense volumes of fallen leaves, cut grass or trimmings.<\/p>\n

\"StihlStihl Grass Trimmers and Brushcutters<\/a><\/h3>\n

STIHL grass trimmers and brushcutters quickly tame long grass and under growth. Models with the STIHL 4-MIX engine produce less exhaust gases than 2-stroke engines, giving you increased fuel efficiency and causing less damage to the environment. This section also contains the KombiSystems, a powerful petrol engine with a choice of KombiTool attachments.<\/p>\n

Stihl Pressure Washers<\/a><\/h3>\n

The STIHL high pressure cleaner range offers great cleaning power. The machines use eco-friendly technologies and are built to have a long operational life. The STIHL wet and dry vacuum cleaners score with their powerful suction and ease of handling.<\/p>\n
