GIE + EXPO

Good Morning All

This week I will be attending the largest expo our industry has to offer.  Hopefully I will be able to bring back some ideas of new products and services.   Two years ago I spoke at one of the dealer sessions about the success we've had with our VIP program.  This year I'll be able to sit back and listen to what the new speakers have to teach.  Our VIP prgram has been a great selling point when a customer purchases a new piece of equipment..  You can check out the details at our website.  http://www.cedarburgpower.com/

Just a couple of thoughts:

It's time to think about your last fertilization for the year.  We have a great PROGREEN blend of 30-0-15 priced at $17.48/bag which covers 15000 sq ft.

The snow repair business has been awsome.  We're about 3 weeks behind, so don't wait to long to get yours repaired for the upcoming season.

We are fully inventoried with new Toro and Simplicity Snowthrowers. REMEMBER Set Up and Delivery is always FREE.

When your done with your mower you might want to store it with us for the off season.  Call Adam for details.  800-481-2673  262-377-2060.

Remeber to use our web coupon when ordering parts you can save up to 10%.


That's about all I have time for today.  I'll post next week about my trip.

Have a Great Week!
Bob

Winter in Wisconsin




I know everyone doesn't want to think about this, but the reality is winter is right around the corner.  If the Farmers Almanac is correct we could be in for another snowy season.  We're stocked up on all Simplicity two stage snowthrowers.

The Signature Pro Series

Signature Pro Commercial Duty Dual-Stage Features


Easy-Turn™ helps you navigate even the toughest turns with little effort. Simply pulling the trigger on the handle releases the drive power to the right wheel for easy maneuvering and 180° turning. Easy-Turn is standard on all large frame two-stage models.

Power Boost™ is an exclusive Simplicity system that automatically adjusts the power to the auger and impeller as it senses the depth and density of the snow. This enables the operator to maintain optimum performance in the heaviest snow.

Free Hand™ Control enables the operator to continue operating the snowthrower with one hand while freeing the other hand to rotate the chute, adjust the chute deflector or change speeds.

Snow Series™ MAX engines by Briggs & Stratton are specifically designed to handle tough winter conditions. They offer a primer bulb for quick starts and a large muffler for quiet running performance.

Heavy-Duty Cast Iron gear housing along with finely-machined worm gear components deliver top performance in even the harshest conditions.


Large Frame Dual Stage

All-Steel chutes rotate left-to-right 200° with minimal effort


Exclusive ease-of-use features include Easy Turn™ (most models) and Free Hand Control™.

Easy-Turn™ helps you navigate even the toughest turns with little effort. Simply pulling the trigger on the handle releases the drive power to the left wheel for easy maneuvering and 180° turning. (Available on most models)

Free Hand™ Control enables the operator to continue operating the snowthrower with one hand while freeing the other hand to rotate the chute, adjust the chute deflector or change speeds.

Snow Series™ and Snow Series™ MAX engines by Briggs & Stratton are specifically designed to handle tough winter conditions. They offer a primer bulb for quick starts and a large muffler for quiet running performance.

WHO IS COCO?


We've had a silent salesperson that promotes our Exmark Commercial mowers for 20 years.  Her name is CoCo, she is one of favorites.  She has great work ethic, she spends 24 hours a day at the store,  she never talks back to customers, she never expects a paycheck, she gave birth to 2 babies without us even knowing it and without insurance,  she's always there for me to bounce new ideas off of.  CoCo is the perfect employee. My hope is she will stay on long after I'm gone.



Our dealership has been selling and servicing Exmark's for the last 15 Years.  Exmark has been the #1 brand selling to commercial landscapers.  In recent years we have seen consumer sales growing.  We have mowers that fit the consumers pocket book, but have the durable construction and features that commercial landscapers look for.  Time has been an important commodity to most homeowners, most of our customers that have purchased Exmarks have reported cutting their mowing time in half.  We specailze in servicing these mowers, our tech's have both been classified as experts by Exmark.  We do stock most code A and code B parts, but have the luxury of having the main parts warehouse in Plymouth WI.  Most ordered parts we receive overnight.

Stop in or visit our website fro more info:

Looking forward for all of you to have a great week.

Firewood



It's that time of year when we are all preparing to heat our homes this winter. According to statistics 60% of chainsaw accidents happen in the fall. Lets's be safe and review the saftey video in this post. We carry all safety gear from hard hats to chaps, in fact we have a Husqvqrna kit that includes everything. The cost for this kit is $147.00 small price to pay in consideration of what a hospital charges to stitch you up. It can be ordered on our website www.cedarburgpower.com.

The Husqvarna part number 531 300 904.

In closing I hope you all have great week.

Bob

P.S. We should all have a chainsaw like this.
