Husqvarna in short supply?

[alderman]

Had a chance to visit Madsen’s saw shop this morning and was surprised to find the Husqvarna saw shelves nearly bare. Plenty of Stihl available there.
Asked if they were getting out of the Husqvarna market and the worker told me they are just hard to get at the moment. He said they have a waiting list of people wanting to get a Husqvarna saw.
Is this just a Pacific Northwest issue or the same elsewhere as well?

A few months ago they had a ton of Husky and no Stihl so I think it's just what the last shipment that came in was.

Its the opposite story here. My dealer has no stock on Stihl, the Husky shelves aren't flooded, but they can get what they don't have in a reasonable time frame.

I deal mostly in used saws, no shortage there!

Last new saw I bought was 13 years ago -- Stihl MS361. I've rebuilt the rest that I own -- about 13 of them.

I just ordered a Husky 372XP from Bailey's and it came in record time. No shortage there that I could see.

I'm probably down to less than 20...the last saw I bought was around 40 years old or older..

one of the local dealers here has empty shelves unless you want a 440 rancher

Can't say I've seen much of a shortage in stihl or husqy, but we have more dealers for both then you can shake a stick at around here so plenty of stock either way. Even seen a new ms400 at the dealers the other day. Didn't have any of the new 5 series husqys yet though. They didn't know when they would get them in either, but that was just one dealer out of at least 4 I can think of within a 20 minuet drive of my house.
