What's The Best Octane For Hand Held Equipment? What About Ethanol?
A lot of people recently asked me a great question about 2 stroke mix, and 2 stroke fuel. Specifically, "What is the best octane or fuel mixture for our handheld equipment?"
I know a lot of new folks are getting into the industry today, and there is also a lot of confusion about what fuel we should all be using. Now I am not an engineer by any means, but I know someone who could provide some technical answers.
Jason Wilk is with ECHO, and he is one of their main guys as a product manager. Him and I spent a lot of time talking over the last 18 months, discussing little technical questions about topics just like this.
I wanted to get Jason on the phone and get a solid, concise, and easy-to-understand answer, about what's the best suggested fuel for us to be using on our 2 stroke equipment.
Hope you guys enjoyed Jason and I’s discussion on the difference between 87, 89, 93, and even a few tips about Ethanol and what to look out for!

What Business Are You In? - The Answer May Surprise You!
If I had to ask that question to a hundred different landscapers, I'd probably get a hundred different answers. You may get answers all over the place, ranging from a technical answer to a good elevator speech.
But in my opinion, they still may miss the mark when it comes to describing what business we're in.
You see, it's been my experience now for more than a decade being in this industry, that what we really offer may in fact be entirely different than what most ever realize. Let me explain.
When someone asks what's the number one thing my company offers, you would probably guess our services like, spring clean ups, lawn maintenance, core aeration, or mulch installation.
You may even say we do snow removal, fertilization, and the list goes on and on.
But if I can make a suggestion, a different way to look at your business and what you really offer, I would probably be able to provide an entirely different answer.
It’s Not What You Offer, It’s What Your Customer Receives
