Actually you were lucky to to get the 250R with the 'loop' handle as they were the first ones discontinued.That's another reason why I bought my FS-250R. Simplicity and pure ole power.
I knew then something was 'going on'..
Then Stihl..(about a month later)...switched to the FS 240...I think some dealers got 'blind-sighted'...
(of course small Stihl dealers don't usually stock $600 trimmers..so screw them..!!)
Hells Bells..my major dealer didn't even know about it..!! - he called me and said.."I only got one..you want it.??."
Stihl is a major player for sure...and they know it...this has to be at the top for just corporate greed..!!
Now Stihl will cover 'warranty repairs' that other companies would turn down.."keep the customer happy")
It's all about repeat business and good "word of mouth" in the community ...Really good business smart..!!
