Here in the midwest who cares if Baileys no longer sells Husky via mail order or the internet?
You guys in the PNW think you're the only market for saws? Hell, we've got Husky dealers here as thick as you do Stihl dealers out there. And every farmer here in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan - - 10's of thousands of them probably have at least one chainsaw. Not to mention the thousands of people just moving to rural areas with their small woodlots etc. They buy Stihl and Husky and Poulans and they buy Ranchers, and Farm bosses and whatever.
I think Husky will do just fine - and as far as Pro saws determining the market - - more homeowner saws are sold by both companies than we could even count! That is where they make their money!!

I hear what you are saying. I don't think we here in the PNW think we are the only one with saws. We are using our own personal experience to back our opinions on this subject and naturally are experience/examples are in the PNW. We fully expect your own examples to reflect you area and are glad to hear them.
And I fully agree the real money in saws is not to pros, although I think how well a brand is viewed by the professional market is important to any tool manufacturor in the long term.
And other than the idea of selling a Chinese saw, I am not too worked up by the Husky news, as things have a way of changing...
