100 Years Forward | Season Finale

After an entire season travelling across Canada and speaking with contractors, landscapers, forestry professionals, municipalities, dealers, and business owners, Ryan McIntyre sits down with Stirling Hart to reflect on the biggest lessons from the Power Moves journey.   From performance and power to charging, weather resistance, dealer support, and long-term reliability, the pair revisit the myths surrounding battery and discuss how real-world users changed their perspective on battery-powered equipment.   They explore why more professionals are embracing battery technology, how businesses are integrating STIHL battery into their operations, what surprised them most throughout the season, and why the future of outdoor power equipment may look very different than it did just a few years ago.   Whether you're a homeowner, landscaper, arborist, contractor, or business owner, this season finale brings together the biggest insights and takeaways from one of the most educational journeys in the outdoor power industry.   #PowerMoves #STIHLCanada #BatteryPower   Show notes: 00:00 - Season Finale Introduction 00:48 - Stirling's Forestry Business & Wildfire Mitigation 02:05 - Why Noise Matters More Than Ever 04:21 - The Biggest Surprise About Battery Performance 06:15 - You're Not Replacing Tools – Just the Power Source 07:40 - Can Battery Really Replace Gas? 10:19 - Battery Compatibility & Long-Term Value 12:00 - Using Battery Equipment in Wet Conditions 14:13 - Why Local Dealer Support Matters 17:07 - Reliability, Warranty & Durability 18:18 - How Businesses Can Transition to Battery 20:09 - Every Concern Had a Solution 21:19 - Choosing the Right Battery Platform 22:53 - Plug-and-Play Performance 23:44 - Battery Tools in Life-Saving Situations 24:28 - The Business Case for Going Premium 25:40 - Final Lessons from the Road   Visit: ​​https://www.stihl.ca/en/search?text=battery Produced by BNV Media: https://www.bnvmedia.ca/
