the all aussie dribble thread!

And yet from what I hear Stihl doesn't want anything to do with chainsaw racing here, local dealers are more than willing to help out, but nationally

They never have been, no money in it for them Will it's always been that way with Stihl out here in OZ
AS PRO SALES ARE SUCH A SMALL PERENTAGE OF OVERALL SALES

When did this model of the MS070 get released

 

[bennn*e]

Well good to see they have at last woken up because that's where the money is not in the pro market

And have you ever seen an ad for either Stihl's or Huskies pro saws on TV ?

Yep because that's where the market is now. Works for us. We would sell exponentially more entry to mid level stuff then we ever have. No bull it sells it's self and walks out the door

It never was. It is for the pacific islands that Stihl also supply's. I have one bnib. Identical to an 070 except the stud that holds the air filter cover on is 2mm shorter

YEP with 99% of logging done with machine there's no incentive to sell pro saws the bloke of the street can't see
the difference between his 170 and a 660 other than it's bigger .

No point flogging a dead horse so to speak. There will always be pro saws as there will always be pro users and the technology filters down sooner or later to there domestic gear. The amount of people who come in for a 'blade' for there chainsaw is the majority these days, the pros know what they want, no amount of advertising will sway them one way or another

yes that still crack's me up just like putting 2 stroke in the oil tank and wondering why it seized

Had a ms310 bought in once with equal amounts of 2st and b&c I the the 2st and b&c tanks. Wondered why it wouldn't start. Had a hedger bought it once with diesel in it. It actually ran on choke which was a surprise

Went out in the boat today with the missus and little tacker plus a couple of friends. Nice spot here. The Redgum behind Tracy and Zoe was a monster. Around a 9' trunk.
