Easy to find with the dealer search on Huskys website.
Using the Google map, you can even see pictures of how it looks there.

You Sho Kan B right there Jeremy!
Need a little help/advice from you upstate NYers. I am going on vacation in June, staying on Grand Island near Niagara Falls and Buffalo. Any recommendations on what to do, places to eat, places to see, etc.; you know, stuff that only the locals would know, instead of just the touristy stuff. We are going to Niagara Falls. We want to visit Canada if our passports make it back in time. Any recommendations on visiting Canada?
Also, I need firewood for camp fires. If somebody in the area can spare some I am glad to pay.
If you would, send me a PM, as not to hijack your thread. Thanks in advance.
FYI, my mom was raised in Corning NY so I guess I am half Yankee. My Grandfather worked for Corning Glass and was transferred to the Corning Glass plant in my hometown when my mom was in HS. The plant here closed many years ago.

Wish I could offer some advice.
I'm located at the very northeast corner on the VT / Canadien border.
My wife travels to Niagara on occasion for business conferences. I could ask her about dinner accommodations, as far as firewood goes......I know there are a few members in the area. But who, I can't remember.
Not sure about firewood regs over there, but over here in the Adks, we aren't supposed to transport firewood more than 50mi from where it was cut.
I guess it's an Emerald Ash Borer issue even though I've never seen one around which is probably a good thing.

I did an audit there about 8 years ago. Tell you the truth, I don't even remember where I stayed. I do know there was a Hard Rock Cafe that had pretty good food, and for Italian, there was a place called Cuomo's (NO RELATION TO THE GOVERNOR) that was not too far away and was worth the trip. And of course, there are the casinos.
If you have the time, Letchworth State Park is stunningly beautiful and not too far away, and the Finger Lakes/Watkins Glenn area is also worth seeing (a lot of wineries on the Finger Lakes if that appeals to you). You can preview these places on line.
Sorry I can't be more help, but I live about 8 hours from there.
Enjoy your vacation and the Falls.

Thank you both for your replies. I will pass on the info to Wendy, our trip planner.
Took your advice and went to Letchworth for part of a day....WOW is all I have to say. That place is amazing. We visited all the main falls and did some hiking. I think I could have camped their the whole time. Good call by you...
Also, how do you guys grow those monster tall trees, and straight as an arrow? I have taken some monster oaks in OK (4' dbh) but they are half as tall as what you guys have and 2-3x's as wide (as in canopy). Our oaks are much more "knotty" as a result; much more difficult to split than NE oak I imagine.
Have a good one. Thanks again....
So glad it worked out for you! A lot of beauty here in NY if you know where to look.
I think the acid rain problem we had (very bad a few decades ago) was very beneficial to Red Oaks, they grew like crazy! Red Oaks seem to like acidic soil.
In the 70s, several lakes in the Adirondacks that were previously fishing hot spots became completely devoid of fish. Most of them seem to be coming back.
