Hey! Us Efco dealers hate it when people say there aren't dealers. Granted, I only work there, but we've sold a few and people seem to like them. This is in a place where the Stihl dealerships outnumber the Efco people, oh, about 23-1. Its hard not to wonder about them because the heritage of the brand was under a couple of different names (Olympic, Olympik, Ole-Mac, Emak for a while). I have a couple of Deere branded saws and really like both. The 36 is better IMHO than the 210, and the 56 gets used way more than my 29 Super, maybe cause I like JD, maybe cause I like the .325 setup, and I've become familiar with the saws. And the parts I would need I could get at cost +10% would be slightly :censored: cheaper than same for the Stihls, which are good, if not great, saws. I don't see them after they've been sold, and we are the dealer in the region as far as warranty for the Menards and Northern Stores here in S. MN. We've only had 2 warrenty claims; one was an assembly problem from the "box" stores, and one was a carb issue: we replaced it (on a trimmer). Why Deere abandoned them I don't know (with my two I know of as many green Efcos as red ones) but the fact Cub Cadet was selling the same saw would have peeved me. If they paired up with Stihl to spite them, or Stihl approached Deere to snuff them out, or its a coincidence, I don't know. Run them, I think you'll like them, but the dealer thing keeps me from Husky (at least thats my excuse for now), that and I've run new Efcos, but only customers Huskys and Jonnys.
