Price, plain and simple. A lot of guys know their employees will kill almost anything that you put in their hands in 2-3 seasons use. And HD stocking Echo's, guys will buy 6-10 new Echo trimmers, every season put it on their HD card, and not pay have to pay for it until next year. Or this is what a few local guys have told me. But they still walked out the door with an FS55 or two.
Imagine how many more units Stihl could sell if they improved the antivibes and filtering on some of their models!![]()
They have already dealt with those problems in the newer saws....there's only one flaw left to overcome, hehe....![]()
Joat, I am just repeating it long enough hoping that the big guys in Virginia Beach or Waiblingen will finally sent me a free hat, just to shut me up....hint, hint. :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Aw shucks. Get the smelling salts. Ole Tommy just passed out and hit the floor when you posted that.
I've recovered now Joat. I cannot believe Belgian said that word, oh my, of all the things he could have said he said that. Filling my garden hose full of sand and heading to the airport, HE'S GOTSA PAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
True, but the landscape contractor for my buildings is a very large national outfit...I believe they may have a purchasing "deal" w/Echo.
My BIL is a small landscaper, has gotten all of his OPE stolen...twice in the last 2 mo.

I'll send you a free hat if you cover the international shipping.
That's a mighty nice offer from you Blood, but to be honoust, I can get a Stihl hat probably easier over here.
I just like poking at a particular dealer in Leesburg who is walking evidence of the one and only true american business rule : money talks and bullshat walks ! :blob5:
The real reason that Stihl has moved to #1....
Flippy Caps!!!!
