"I am blessed to own a Shindaiwa. I have to used other brands at times, but nothing comes close to the "custom tuned" feel of a Shindaiwa. Simply put, more power, smoother response, less vibration and extreme durable. I own other brands as well, but as they fail or I upgrade, all products will be Shindaiwa. The power, durability, and comfort just can't be beat. The best trimmer head is the speed-feed!" "I bought a Shindaiwa T231 weed trimmer 5 years ago and could not be happier. With no maintenance at, this machine runs excellent and starts every time for me. A must have is the Shindaiwa Speed Feed head that makes putting the line in a breeze. I highly recommend anything made by Shindaiwa." "I was given a 300s 14 inch chainsaw for a house warming gift from my father-in-law 2 years ago. I had never heard of them before this,(he lives in MN). What an awesome little chainsaw. I have cut more trees and logs with it than you can imagine. It works circles around the craftsman's that friends have. I have cut logs & trees 18-22 inches in diameter. It takes more time & I have to cut from both sides, but it has never let me down. Thanks for a quality product!" "Excellent Product, very reliable, quality cut and performance with the hard chrome plated blades. Will look at purchasing other Shindaiwa products." "We have been in the landscape business for over 25 years, but it was only relatively recently that our company decided to run Shindaiwa exclusively. When possible, we run C4 units exclusively as well, not only for their quality and outstanding fuel efficiency, but also for the sustainability it provides our company as well as the Fortune 500 corporations whose headquarters we maintain. For example, one company in particular whose campus we maintain is the largest sponsor for Earth Day in our city, and holds multiple “Green” seminars to show ways for its contractors to become more environmentally-minded. How sustainable our company is as a contractor reflects on this client and their sustainability, therefore, being green is invaluable when bidding. The C4 technology provides us a competitive edge when bidding for this type of client that in a very real way supersedes a low bid. By using Shindaiwa’s C4 equipment, we are able to make our customers look good in more ways than a well manicured lawn alone can. " "I just wanted to write a little something to let Shindaiwa know how great their product is. I just bought two T242X trimmers and a 488 chainsaw. I have two T220 trimmers for 14 years, one for 15 years the only problem I had was a new shaft was needed after 3 years. I also bought a T260 trimmer about 5 years ago. All of my friends tried to talk me into buying a Stihl chainsaw, but I told them as good as my trimmers were I just had to buy a Shindaiwa chainsaw. I am the first one of all my friends to buy one. I was very impressed so were they.". "The company I work for takes care of most parks and recreational areas managed by the local council. These areas need to be serviced twice monthly so work is go go go. The T270 model trimmers used have had a hard life, a very hard life, but the constant work never seems to slow them. They have taken so much abuse over the years, from working flat out for hours at a time to being thrown and jammed back onto the truck, they never miss a beat. It just makes work that much better when you have something so fantastically dependable. " "Through 4 years of commercial abuse the T261 has proved to be the most reliable machine I have ever seen. As the only mechanic with a fleet of over 100 machines, the Shindaiwa trimmers/chain saws have been the least of my worries." "The first Shindaiwa trimmer I ever used was the T-20 that my dad bought in the earlier 90's. This trimmer was just awesome, it always started and never gave us any trouble till it was 12 years old. I put it in the shop and they fixed it for $20 and it ran great for another 2 years. I sold it 3 years ago for $100.00 and it started on the 3rd pull. Now that I have my own lawn care company Shindaiwa is the only trimmer I have on my trucks. We take them out during peak grass season and run them between 6 and 8 hours a day and all we have to do to them is make sure we have good fuel and good oil in the gas. If you are in the market for lawn care equipment and need something that will make you money and not be in the shop everyday then go spend a little extra money up front with Shindaiwa products." "I do believe the Shindaiwa EB8510RT is "THE" Monster !!!! I just purchased this blower Yesterday & I am totally impressed with its power. Leaves are Leaves & Snow is a different Ball Game & in the Snow this Monster plays HARD !! I've tried a few different Blowers and they will touch this one. Please keep em coming. Thanks!" "I have switched to the big blue blower from Shindaiwa after using other commercial brands and it blows me away! With the funnel tip in place it moves pretty much any debris I want and saves me tons of walking by just flat blowing things off ten plus yards away. This is serious equipment! I totally recommend it." "I purchased my EB8510 backpack blower last year. It has provided me great service since the day I bought it. I received a recall for it and took it in to my dealer and in 20 minutes or less I had my blower in top running condition for free!! With that kind of product support I went back the next day and bought a brand new long reach hedge trimmer. Top of the line equipment! Thank you." "This [EB802] backpack blower literally blows away any other backpack product on the market. I've used other manufacturer's top brands, but none of those moves leaves like the EB802. There really is nothing like this blower. It's weight-to-power ratio is fantastic, it does just fine with fuel, and the sound level is actually not as bad as other products. This product is just great. I recommend it to anyone in the business." "I bought my first Shindaiwa equipment in 2003 when starting up my business. Six years later I still only run Shindaiwas. We use them all day, every day. I have never had one in the shop for any reason. I do yearly PM on them and that's it. They still run strong, start on the first pull and go all day with no problems. Shindaiwa definitely helps me improve my bottom line." "I bought a 352 chain saw and was skeptical. I puchased the saw because I had two other brands that I puchased at a major discount store and they where junk. When you are up in a tree and don't have a lot of room to move, the easy pull and start is incredible. I also like how the prefilter alows me keep on cutting. Cut down two trees many more to go I am sure this saw will do just fine." |
"I do a lot of tree pruning and removals for my company through the winter. My 357 saw is 8 plus years old and still going strong. You can definitely believe "First to start last to quit." "I have owned this [350] chain saw for at least 25 years. It has been a pleasure to own and operate. All parts are original with the exception of the chain! My local dealer asked me once if I had ever used it. It looks that good. I take a lot of pride in what I own, or I won't own it. This thing will become a clasic!! I am a very satisfied customer." "Awesome power, awesome product will never let you down! The name and slogan says it all!" "Recently got a chance to try out a new speedfeed head. I mounted the head on an old BP 35 trimmer and went to work expecting this to be just another gimmicky piece. I've had other auto feed heads that oft had to be indexed manually. After three spools of string without a hitch, I can honestly say the speedfeed head works very well, not to mention the well noted ease of line loading. Thanks for another great product used in keeping the brush under control out here in the rain forest of Western Oregon!" "I have used the same Shindaiwa T270 for 6 years now and must say it is the best piece of equipment out there. No power loss, no problems ever for that matter other than routine maintenance. I use it 5-6 days a week doing tons of hill trimming and it has never failed, I have tried a few other commercial grade brands and I must say don't waste your time, get a Shindaiwa and forget the rest." "I have performed repairs on almost all types and brands of trimmers and chain saws,and I have found out that "Shindaiwa" is the best in every way. The saws run smooth, very low vibration, extremely durable, and very low maintenance after years of rough service. And as far as trimmers go, how about the old T-25 series of the early 90's! I personally service 3 different T-25s' and a T-20 for some customers of mine and normally all I have to do is clean or change an air filter or a spark plug, and they are ready to go. But I am also happy that there are so many other brands of trimmers, blowers, and saws on the market. The reason I am happy about the other brands is because if I had to rely on income from repairs on just Shindaiwa products, then I would go out of business! The other brands keep me in business on repairs! Big Tim says Shindaiwa is the best "period". By the way, reissue T-25 series and revive a classic!" "I love this trimmer [C27]. My father actually bought it when I was about 12 (I'm now 24). He ran it all the time. I always wanted to use it around our acerage growing up. Being a rather small frame and only 5ft he never thought I could handel it. Well now that I am grown and have my own place, and he no longer needs the trimmer, he finally gave in after watching me scruggle for several yrs with throw-aways. He gave me one of his most trusted pieces of equipment. And I love it! I can take this thing out and totaly zone out for a great work out.. Ive ran this old trusty for hours, I could never imagine my yard chores with out it. I hope I never need to consider replacing it, but should that ever happen I will replace it with another Shindaiwa. Thanks Shindaiwa for great memories and hard work." "I bought my T-20 in 1994 and use it a lot. I have only changed the gas tank pick-up tube in the tank. The plug is original. My maintenance procedure after a day's use is to drain the tank and run it till it won't start anymore, then I wash it and store it away. I've been doing this ever since buying it, and it starts right up everytime!" "I've had my B450 brushcutter over 15 yrs and this machine could run for a good 8hrs unstoppable cutting sakati, which is called in our native thick sord grass in our island. And each time we perform our jobs I have no worries. I don't even have to change the scorpian so often. Also, using blade not a problem. Need fire wood, the blade could cut down to it's roots with no hestitation or stalling. This product is rated at five star. All Shindaiwa is #1 in commercial product. And I'll be purchasing a new one on this up coming July 4th from the dealer." "My hunting buddy supplies landscaping equipment and I called him up for a deal on a chainsaw. I figured I would look for that orange and white saw my father always used and I was pretty set on getting one of those. My friend told me not to worry I would be impressed with what I got. Well I took my new [Shindaiwa] 488 out for a test drive yesterday and boy was I ever disappointed when it ran out of gas and I didn't have time to go get more. I LOVE THIS SAW. Cut right through a 20" maple like it was butter and I barely even noticed any vibration or weight. Started on 2 pulls right out of the box and didn't stall till it ran out of gas. Ran for 1.5 hours without even slowing down. I work with high tech equipment and I have to say this saw is an amazing piece of engineering. Thanks for a quality work!!!" "20+ years of hard use and the old Shindaiwa C-35 is running strong. No wonder I'm a Shindaiwa fan. My list of equipment includes: 1 Shindaiwa 360, 2 Shindaiwa 488, 1 Shindaiwa 577, 1 Shindaiwa 757, 1 Shindaiwa EB 240, 1 Shindaiwa C-35, 1 Shindaiwa BP-35, 1 Shindaiwa T 272X. I'm also one of the few Shindaiwa advocates on arboristsite.com." "I bought my Shindaiwa trimmer about 18 years ago for my husband. I think he has used it a few times; I use it weekly. We have 30 acres and my trimmer has gone hundreds of miles. I have trimmed pastures, ditches and intricate work around the houses. I love your product. It is well built and has the power I need. Unfortunitly everything wears out and I must get a new one. I know it will be a Shindaiwa. I just have to figure out which one." "I would like to tell you that your Shindaiwa Speed-Feed® is the best invention I think I have ever seen. Reloading the line is so much easier than the older methods that it is unbelievable. Thanks much for the Speed-Feed®." |
