Long story short - I walked into my local Stihl dealer asking about getting my hands on a couple MS440's. Probably sensing why I was there and without asking, the dealer told me that Stihl Northeast had decided not to order any MS440's for their dealer network. So I guess anyone in the Northeast including Pennsylvania will be out of luck? With a restrictive shipping policy it cuts out a corner of the market that would spend money on the saw. I try to support my local dealer but me and the $3000 in my pocket left confused and frustrated.
