Can't believe they changed the saw so much and still used the exact same designation, not even a different letter after the saw! There is going to be a lot of "parts confusion" in the future.

So Mark, are the E bars in 24/25" something new? I have never seen them.
I think they have been around. Never had a request for them.
 
Today's exchange rate is $0.72 USD to the CDN dollar. So $889 CDN is $640.08 USD, plus VAT. Supposedly there is no VAT/sales tax on exported items sold in Canada?

There is no sales tax here in Oregon, and the retail price on the current 261c-M at my local shop is $610 out the door with a 16" B&C.

I used $0.75 USD as your bank/ credit card is always going to charge you 2 or 2.5% to process the exchange.

As for taxes, being in a different province having it shipped to me I would only have to pay the 5%GST tax, not his 8% provincial. Being outside Canada he would have to charge you the 5% GST but you would be eligible to apply for a refund.

13% gents.. You are on your own to get the tax back. It is not were it is going to but where it came from.

No, definitely not - but it may have varied which markets they have been offered on?
 
I don't know who actually did it first, and for what reason - but it is pretty obvious why Husky did it on the 560/550 saws (so far).;)
