I'll be dayummm I just waxed up that 880 just yesterday, boy that thing sure is pretttttttttttttttttttttttttttty:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Tommie,

I just felt a tug on my left rear hip as my wallet eased out of my pocket. Was that you?

You won't go back to Husky, this is a good move for ya.:hmm3grin2orange:

Hahaha. No, it's the only move. I have never said I don't like Stihl saw's (except for the 441 which is a POS in my opinion) I said I prefer Husky's.
All the B&M dealers can think what they want, but I'll bet Stihl benefit's more from this move than the Husky dealers.
I see it as a chess game between Stihl & Husqvarna, playing for the lion's share. Husky just made a real bad move, CHECK MATE!!!

You were right, I won't go back to Husky. Not for the reason you would like me to say, but because I talked to a rep a while back about this. He promised that Husky's would be available. Now he say's they are available, you just have to drive 167 miles to get to your nearest stocking dealer. Husky in a sence has said to me, you are nothing, we don't give a rat's a$$ about you or the other logger's, & thinning contractor's in your area even though most of you have been loyal customers for 25 or 30 year's.

Who know's I may start running Echo's........Oh yeah, no local dealer's......Stihl it is. :deadhorse:

And If anyone from Husqvarna is reading this. Note the misseltoe pinned to my shirt tail as I walk away from you.

Roland,

Only a vast ocean keeps you from experiencing the same.

Joat, you are not the only one who is scared...

Mr Hall knows he will face one day the Super salesman from europe, and it'll be him that will be without $$$$ after I done with him in the backroom :hmm3grin2orange: .

Dayuuuuuuum, that day is going to be MY day, LOLOLOL.

ps. we hijacked a nice thread here, sorry.

The 441 is a POS? Might not be a good race saw but farrrrrrr from a POS.

btw I could care less about what Husky does, makes no difference to me. With boat loads of support, gimme a Stihl any day, any time.:hmm3grin2orange:

Sure it is POS, a copy of a sub-standard Husky (575xp).....:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :cheers:

Stihl got it right the first time, no need for a 2nd or 3rd variant. That should set off a bell in someone's head if it takes 2-3 times to get a saw right.:help: :help:
 
So, not to hijack here but I keep seeing comments about Baileys selling a Chinese made "kit saw". I have yet to find it. Anyone care to enlighten me as to where it is? The company I work for imports from China/Taiwan and I can say our product quality is great because I QC the prototypes and occasionally pull one randomly from a new container and if I don't like it the emails start and continue until I am happy with what we are receiving. The "junk" coming from China/Taiwan isn't their fault its the fault of the person/company who is accepting it by not forcing them to make a better product.

At sea level it may be a good saw, but between 7000' & 9000' elevation where I do most of my work it is a pure dog. In my opinion, if you can't take a saw where you need to and have it do it's intended job it is a POS.
I was thinking of buying one, but after running one in our local competition in the Stihl stock saw event I wasn't impressed. I thought someone on AS will know a cure for the problem, so I asked in another thread. No one had an answer for the problem. My local Sthil dealer laughed and said "It is what it is". The old wore out 044 I had cut circles around that new 441, so it must be a POS. :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

redprospector How did that 7900 run in that type of air and elevations?
