    New Husky Dealer in Town

    There's a new Husqvarna dealer that opened less than five miles from my House. They have a full line of professional saws on the floor. When I visited them I saw a 395XP 372XP 346 XPE and all of the home owner saws. Here's the kicker, the store is a Stihl dealer! I wonder whats going on?

    Yeah I have a Husky "dealer" in town. He has 4 Husky saws in stock and almost no parts. He does however have around 20 Stihl saws and every Stihl part you could want in stock.
    I ordered some parts once, he wrote them and my phone number down on a piece of paper and said he would call me. Never heard from him again. Now I use an IPL, and Baileys to get my stuff.

    most stihl dealers in this area dont have much for parts. plus they arent worth going into not even for good conversation. ive found one good stihl dealer/more service and repar shop, very small. the rest of the stihl dealers act is if your an inconveince and bothering them if your looking for parts.
    nonsponsor saleing at its best. anything recieved from me is free

    I'd love to stock Husky except you have to stock mowers, tractors, snowblowers, generators, pressure washer in order to get the best discount on parts and equipment.

    The dealer I frequent the most has a full line of Husqvarna and Stihl, he does quite well for himself. Another dealer close by has Jonsered and Efco, he seems to be doing good as well. In this economy, diversity and customer service is essential.
    Husqvarna saws and parts of all shapes and sizes. If you need something, just ask.

    I hope that is the case. This dealer also stocks a full range of estate type mowers. I need a new 72" mower.

    Yeah, the on the other side of town had boatloads of Stihls, and now has a Husky wall. I was impressed. Had most everything but a 395 and a 3120, which I wouldn't expect them to have. They have 3 660s in stock.
    So many trees, so little time...

    This sounds like the same deal. Lots of stock in both brands. He also has Shinadawa. I hope it is just a strong dealer trying to give his customers what they want. It works for me.
