It's Christmas Time!

We all know the classic “The Twelve Days of Christmas” that recounts presents in the days leading up to Christmas. Each item escalates from the last in both absurdity and quantity to reflect the sequence of days, with things such as “12 Drummers Drumming,” “5 Golden Rings,” and the unmistakable “Partridge in a Pear Tree.”  

Those song lyrics probably don’t resonate with most of us in 2018, so this year we’ve decided to create our own spin on this traditional holiday melody with a focus on gifts for the homeowner, DIYer, Weekend Warrior, or special someone in your life.  We worked with one of our Papé Machinery retail specialists to curate a variety of gift ideas that range from everyday use to heavy equipment add-ons, and even children's toys for the youngest John Deere enthusiasts.

Here you’ll find a detailed list, updated daily, with product descriptions of each featured item.  Be sure to follow our Facebook and Instagram profiles for each item reveal.

1st Day of Christmas — STIHL Work Gloves

Our first featured product, STIHL work gloves, are a great go-to gift for anyone on your list.

The Landscaper Series of STIHL gloves are made from strong, yet soft, deer-hide leather and provide fantastic long-term wear properties while retaining an excellent sense of touch, feel, and comfort. Perfect for the avid landscaper or Weekend Warrior, these gloves can help you tackle any project, rain or shine, and still leave your hands in top shape for the next thing on your to-do list.

2nd Day of Christmas — Oil Varieties

This  is the perfect gift for those that may forget the little things that come with owning equipment.  John Deere Turf Gard Engine Oil, provides rapid oil circulation in both hot and cold temperatures, long lasting engine wear protection, and superior fuel efficiency. It’s recommended for John Deere equipment with engines requiring SL class oil and all 4-cycle gasoline engines: riding and walk-behind mowers, commercial mowers, edgers, tillers, generators, shredders, and many other outdoor power equipment.  

Don’t forget about your chainsaw! You do need it to cut wood for the winter, after all. We have STIHL HP Ultra Oil, which provides the best protection for your high performance 2-stroke engine. This fully synthetic 2-cycle engine oil has excellent engine cleaning and lubricating properties, and is eco-friendly. The highly biodegradable oil degrades by up to 80% in 3-weeks. Keep all of your equipment protected and in peak performance with both of these oil varieties.
