No More Shipped Husky's From Bailey's

[redprospector]

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

7900's run like a bat outa he!! here, but no dealer's around, and they won't let them be shipped. So for work I guess I'll have to replace with Stihl, but for racing I'll use the fastest saw's I can afford. Right now that's a 3120, a 7900, and a Kawasaki KX250.:chainsawguy: :chainsawguy: :chainsawguy:

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:

Good post but sorry to hear bout the elevation problems. You can't be the only guy cutting around 7-9000 ft. I tried to help in that other thread where you "axed" but no cigar. It has a adj. carb so I don't see why the elev. would hurt it. Yeah, it gets more air jammed into the intake, higher up less air, but that is what the carb is for..:help: :help:

I haven't met anyone who could adjust a 441 to run at elevation. I have been running saws up here for 20+ years, I know how to adjust them for elevation. These stratocharged engines just don't seem to want to run up here. I'd still be willing to look at one if someone could show me how to make it run here.
Oh, by the way. The 575 is a POS up here too. The sad part is that the EPA will probably force all saw's to be POS before it's over.
I remember you trying to help in that other thread, and I appreciate it.

My posts to help were not meant to say you didn't know how to tune a saw. Do any of the other builders have a answer?

True bout the EPA, that is why I'm stocking up on the good saws now. Just running out of $$$$$ quick.

I see your buying huskys then. About time you quit watching sesame street playing builder bob with your stihls and started coming into manhood.

Nope, Thats about all I got........just not good at the smart a$$ stuff.

But if I keep hanging with you guys........I will get better at it! :hmm3grin2orange:

I know it does get tough to concentrate after running those stihls and having the vibration jiggle your brain. Don't worry just run huskys and you will be back to normal in no time.:hmm3grin2orange:

I hate to say this out loud........but I did own a Husky.

I bought it new........Ah, I don't think you want to hear this.....

 

[stevethekiwi]

right...

I know im really going to pi$$ all you guys off, but i think this is a fantastic policy.

1. chainsaws need to be pre delivered. we know what we are doing (well some of us...), but what about everyone else? stihl, dolmar, husky, whatever... if a consumer buys one online and doesnt know how to PD, then it seizes because of a loose muffler etc, from that day on he will always think ..."i had a dolmar / stihl / husky once, what a peice of $hit... lasted 10 minutes..." And where does the consumer go for basic training? An accident waiting to happen. Refer to the stupid video thread.

2. it establishes a relationship with the local dealer. if someone buys a saw online and brings it to me for a warranty repair, i would tell them no warranty as it was not PD'd by an authorised dealer. take it back to where you bought it and see if they will refund you.

3. it evens the playing field. most online sellers invest bu66er all in workshop / service / showroom / store frontage etc. Box in box out. so the local dealer who buys the tools and invests in training / mechanics loses a sale because the online seller has low overheads.

i could go on, but i have wound you all up enough for now...

I don't think anyone here is implying that Bailey's was not servicing it's customers here. Like I said on another post, I don't buy any of my saws from Bailey's or Madsen's, but I do get all my parts from them. Good luck finding a local dealer as keen as them when it comes to saws.

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

They're both copies, of a RedMax.......

 

[Urbicide]

50cc saws? Bailey's had 6 of the new model 346XP"s left in stock as of closing Friday.

Tanaka Time!!

Hi guys-
Tanaka saws are available online through Grainger.com...

-MW

Yea, and I would almost bet that Tanaka is really happy about Husky's
decision to cut internet sales. Some one will step in to dominate the interne
market, and Tanaka does make a line of Pro equipment that has a good
reputation. I can see them (in MY head of course ) taking advantage of this
unique opurtunity, someone somewhere is going to dominate this market
niche for Pro quality equipment for sale on the internet, and they seem to
be positioned better than most.

I was saving my $$s for one of those. Months off till I had the money for it. Now, well, I can put that out a few more months. Once the few dealers around here learn of the no mail order policy they will be waltzing thru the showroom changing the prices -- higher no less.

Death, taxes, and higher saw prices. Can't win.

Sort of, but there are more to it than that.......

 

[kevlar]

I believe this new policy o Bailey's part all boils down to the high level of the Canadian dollar right now.Canadians were trying to buy from baileys and they would not sell.the price differential betweeen the states saws and the canadian ones has always been attractive but lately a down right steal,we have run across this with arctic cat snowmobiles as well dealers getting fined if they sell to a canadian(free trade my a$$)So feeling the pressure husky put it foot down.I do agree saws should be sold through a dealer anyways.Just my opinion.

Me buying Mushkies? Ha, that's funny. I'm not going to give those saws a thrashing because they are decent.

I have several Stihl dealers to choose from, just about all the IPLs, wrench myself, and can have any question about 'em answered on here. It's going to get like Redprospector mentioned. A few more years and these saws we are running now will be the best ever made.

What do you think will happen to Dolmar when the 5100 and 7900 are KIA?

I still don't see a big change anyhow!

Go buy your saw from the local dealer (one visit), and get your parts and gear from Bailey's and Madsens. If you cut for a living, you should know how to work on your saw anyhow. Chainsaws are about as complicated as bicycles. Dealers are not that far off on the saw price, but when you get into the parts and accessories, they tend to rake you over the coals. Plus, they don't usually offer any professional accessories. Over a years worth of cutting, we spend so much more on bars, chains and saw parts, the original price of the saw is not worth mentioning. Let the dealers sell to the yuppies and suburbanites, they have all the money anyhow!
