No program at all at this point. I understand that Husky was ramping up inventory to launch their TSC deal-but where are the pro saws that should have been going to Tilton since Jan 1? It is my thinking that my rep from Pace would rather sell Dixon and Scag mowers to his dealers than Jonsered saws to his new accounts.......
The core of the problem is that Tilton never did a forecast for 1st quarter product, so no production was scheduled. That's what I meant about someone being asleep over in Sweden. Everyone knew that this was going to happen, and no one noticed that there were no saws being built for the US dealer channel.
Also, with the TSC deal in the works for quite some time, it's obvious that Jonsered was going to remain in the US market. Yeah, this really could have been handled better. But, I have Husky and you have Dolmar, so both of us are still in the saw biz. It's really hard on the Jonsered only guys. I don't have much left, but what I have are my 3 best selling models, so I'm OK for a while.
I know nothing about PACE, but some of these reps have their favorite lines, and Scag is going to get most of that guy's attention, especially this time of year. Plus, he probably knows next to nothing about chainsaws anyway, and when he finally shows up you'll be shaking your head wondering why you were so anxious to see him.
