We don't have to go through any lengths, hoops or hurdles. We just order and wait. Then get 'em and run the piss out of 'em.
I tip my hat to Farmertec for being run by competent people. They didn't go into business to clone saws. They were in the replacement parts business for Stihl and Husqvarna saws. One day, some smart person noticed that Husky and Stihl let a bunch of patents expire. "Hey we're already making literally all of the parts for these saws LEGALLY, why not just assemble them and sell them." So they did. Smart move. Farmertec isn't run by the Chinese government.
Idk why you keep trying to derail the thread with "but but they're illegal" when you can't even prove they are and the thread has nothing to do with that in the first place. Furthermore, most of us don't care about the EPA or any of their bureaucratic BS.
