The reason I heard that the big name stores do not carry Stihl is because they cannot service them, i.e., no repair facilities. Philbert's post #3 says it all.
Surprisingly, there are a few hardware stores that sell Stihl.
Maybe each location has to have a technician able to do basic set up and repairs?I've always heard this too but every Runnings (similar to Tractor Supply) I've ever been in is a Stihl dealer .
Ordering and/or stocking parts may be another constraint.Maybe each location has to have a technician able to do basic set up and repairs?
