You might be on to something there!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.
Ever since I have found this sight I have been a Bailey's customer! When are dollar was 1.08 I ordered a Cant hook some chain and small misc stuff I saved at least $65.00. Hell I cant even find a Cant hook in Calgary. Lee Valley told me they could order me one $100.00 But I wanted one with the log lift on it handy for bucking trees.The one they had was made in Canada the one Bailey's sells is made in USA good enough for me. Lee Valley did not have the log lift actually they didn't Know what it was or used for and know body in the store has ever seen one! For you things might be different as you live in big timber country. Sorry for going a bit off topic here I also find American businesses very good to deal with Compared to Canadian businesses Here the attitude is we are the only game in town what are you going to do about it.
P.S Calgary is not a small place over a million people My Jred dealer is great but saws are just a fraction of there sales.
