I'll comment. Actually, there was a thread not too long ago about your equipment. We have the walk-behind edger, stick-edger, string trimmer, 2 hedge trimmers, extended-reach hedge trimmer,and the shred-n-vac unit. We (knock on wood) haven't had a lick of problems with any of the equipment. Always starts, always runs. As far as performance, all the commercial equipment works about the same. Every employee has their favorite as well. I would imagine you'll hear good and bad on this site. Just the nature of it.
Have no reason not to purchase your equipment in the future. Our dealer carries it and whatever they carry, we buy.

OK...my first post didn't post...hmmm

Anyway what i asked was about any new blowers in the works to compete with the Redmax 8000 and the new shindaiwa that will be about the same size? i am in the market for a new blower and am partial to Shindaiwa but i am open to trying a different brand. My dealer also carries Tanaka so i wouldn't be too worried about dealer support if i don't care for it. Thanks

Be sure to email me and let me know where you want your power bottle sent to.

Joplin Mower,
Thanks for your interest in Tanaka. At this time, our largest blowers are the TBL-7600 and TBL-7600R. What are you looking for in a big backpack blower that Redmax and Shindaiwa don't offer?

For your free power bottle, email me at woodlingm@tanaka-ism.com with your mailing address.

Welcome to the site.
I'll enjoy visiting you're forum. I must admit though, about the only thing I know about Tanaka is that y'all made a edger quite a few years back that was second to none. How 'bout that bottle :blob3:

[PLM-1]

I was looking for something that was comparable to the Shindaiwa and Redmax. Something that is approx. 72 cc or so. Thanks

[TClawn]

so why is tanaka better than shindaiwa or redmax? what would give me an advantage. right now I have all shindaiwa's but I'm very interested in your trimmers.

I tried on of my friends out and he really likes them. how are they priced as far as parts go?

[Tanaka]

Thanks for your post - another free power bottle for you. Email me at woodlingm@tanaka-ism.com with your mailing address.

Yes, the TLE-550 is probably the one product Tanaka is known for. However, did you know?...

1. We offer a full line of 100% TWO-STROKE powered handheld outdoor power equipment including; grass trimmers, brush cutters, hedge trimmers, blowers, edgers, pole hedge trimmers, pole saws, chain saws, drills, augers, pumps, and accessories.

2. Tanaka was the first two-stroke manufacturer to certify to the C.AR.B. Tier II emissions regulations in 1998 with its innovative PureFire engine.

3. Tanaka engines power BladeZ powerboards and powerkarts.

4. Tanaka is a third generation, family-owned company that is based in Japan.

Thanks and welcome to Lawn Site

Does Tanaka have a website? Also are there online sales or just through local dealers? If there is no website can you tell me a dealer close to 15613?

[Tanaka]

Hi,
I got your email and will send you a power bottle shortly. As far as competitive advantages go, Tanaka is 100% two-stroke. That means lighter weight, less moving parts, less maintenance headaches, and more power!

But don't take it from me, check out the TBC-230 field test report that appeared in Turf magazine. It is available on our Web site http://www.tanaka-usa.com/index.php?d=3&b=286

As far as parts prices go, we are very comparable to those other brands you mentioned.

Happy Holidays,

Hi,
Sorry, our largest is a 59cc right now. Thanks for your interest in a larger cc Tanaka blower. I will pass your request on.

[Tanaka]

It's a innovative water bottle! It features a unique flip-straw feature so it stays clean and it holds 28 oz. of your favorite beverage.

Plus it's FREE!

[TClawn]

FREE is good!!

I used Tanaka bent shaft trimmer when i first started out. It was very good trimmer and lasted about 4 years. NObody sold Tanaka in the Chattanooga area so i have used redmax and sthil trimmers and blowers but will look into finding a dealer soon.

[Tanaka]
