Our story

Locally Owned. Locally Invested.

STIHL SHOP Te Awamutu has been locally owned and operated by Matt and Sharlene Hird since 2013.

Over that time, the business has helped homeowners, lifestyle block owners, rural customers, contractors and commercial operators find equipment suited to the work they need to get done.

While outdoor power equipment continues to evolve, our approach hasn’t changed. We believe customers are better served when they can talk to someone who understands the equipment, ask questions before they buy and know where to come when their machine needs servicing or support.

That’s what being a local specialist is about.

“We want our customers to buy the right machine the first time — and know we’re here when they need us afterwards.”

What we do

Equipment, Advice and Support in One Place

We’re more than somewhere to buy outdoor power equipment.

Our team can help you choose the right machine, understand the options available and provide ongoing workshop support throughout the life of your equipment.

Ride-On Mower Specialists

Choosing the right ride-on mower starts with understanding the property.

We supply ride-on mowing solutions from Walker, Cub Cadet, Masport and Stiga, giving our customers the opportunity to compare different mower types, brands and applications.

Tell us what you’re mowing and we’ll help you identify the machines worth considering.

How we work

Start With the Job, Not the Machine

There’s no single mower, chainsaw or piece of outdoor power equipment that’s right for everyone.

That’s why our starting point is understanding what you actually need the equipment to do.

Understand Your Requirements

We’ll ask about your property, the work you’re doing, how often you’ll use the equipment and what matters most to you.

Compare the Options

With multiple ride-on mower brands and a broad range of outdoor power equipment available, we can help you understand the practical differences between your options.

Choose With Confidence

Our aim is to help you choose equipment that’s appropriate for the job rather than simply selling you a machine.

Support It Afterwards

When your equipment needs maintenance, servicing or repair support, you know where to find us.

Ride-on mower expertise

Helping You Find the Right Mower for Your Property

A ride-on mower can be a significant investment, and there can be a big difference between the machine that looks right on paper and the one that actually suits your property.

Property size is only part of the equation.

Terrain, obstacles, grass conditions, cutting width, manoeuvrability, collection requirements, operator comfort and how frequently you mow can all influence the decision.

By offering ride-on mower options from Walker, Cub Cadet, Masport and Stiga, we’re able to help customers compare different approaches to mowing and focus on the machines that best fit their requirements.
