Is the 066Mag the king of all chain saws

[LarryTheCableGuy]

Geezus Sap, it's NOT a fookin' all or nothing competition!!

You HATE Stihl and everthing about them, we understand that much. Don't let that DEFINE your life!!

[coveredinsap]

Oh yes, but of course, and why should you return, but tell me, how do you feel about there store? Dose it make you angery that there still there, stihl in business?

Not at all. The Stihl shills, er...'owners' have to have somewhere to go to get their brokedown saws fixed and overpriced parts ordered, don't they? LOL!

I see! And that brings you comfort that there product is so inferior in your opinion?

How do you feel about people that still shop there, I mean feed there "cash-cow" so to speak? Dose that make you feel Superior to there judgment in brands of saws?

I don't even give it a second thought. If people want to shop there than be my guest...tell 'em I sent you, in fact.

I think those knives are worthy of an off topic.

Yes. Generally the length of warranty is a direct reflection of the quality and durability of a product. Cheap product=short warranty. Quality product=long warranty.

(I see your having me on 'ignore' lasted all of about 10 minutes, or as long as your attention span, larry.)

BS. A lot of the cheapest crap around comes with lifetime warranties. Standing behind them is another thing, as is betting the customer won't remember or find a reciept a few years down the road.

 

[Lakeside53]

Uh, no. What's the sense of taking a position if you don't bother to defend it?

Be honest. The real reason that Stihl only has a 90 day warranty is:

1) Because they don't have that much confidence in their product's quality
(...Hey, maybe it's hard finding good help these days in Virginia, eh?)

2) Their (Stihl dealers) parts/repair business is a cash cow. After spending big $$$ on a chainsaw, who's going to balk at paying a few hundred more $$$ when something goes wrong the first year or so? Particularly when you can only get parts and service on the saw from a Stihl dealer...and in many cases, apparently only the exact Stihl dealer you bought the saw from. How's that for a monopoly on service? LOL!

3) They're resting on past laurels and their prior good name.

Saphead : I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again; you're a complete know-nothing idiot. Or is it no-nothing? In your case, it doesn't really matter...

 

[Lakeside53]

Likely only because the saw mill was a big customer.

Yeah, good luck with that. My Stihl dealer said we couldn't call Stihl right then and there because it "wasn't allowed". I laughed in his face. I wasn't sure whether he meant by his mommy or Stihl. Anyways, that was right about the time he went and hid behind the counter making like he was doing busy work. (I picture this guys name as being 'Thall' for some reason. Hahahaha!)

Unfortunately it seems that with Stihl, "politely" gets you jack.

The customers name never even came up.

Why am I suprised you and you Stihl dealer didn't hit it off? Politely? I doubt that's anything you remotely understand.

I don't know how your mother puts up with you.

 

[Lakeside53]

Yes. Generally the length of warranty is a direct reflection of the quality and durability of a product. Cheap product=short warranty. Quality product=long warranty.

So.... Sony must make junk. Shortest warrantly in the electronics business.

 

[sawn_penn]

Pros (and I'm not one) vote with their wallet. They want saws that just run and run. A day not cutting is a day not earning.

Stihl and Husky have this market. There's a little bit of other stuff out there, but not that much.

Not many warranties cover operator misuse like dropping product and smashing it on the ground.

You really think that Stihl is a cheap product-come on!!Was that cedar tree one of our nice white cedars,say about a 10" dia that your rancher killed?Oh ya,do ya wanna sell that badaz rancher?I could sell all my cheap saws and almost afford to buy that monster frum u !

 

[spacemule]

My favorite saw to use of all time was an old Sachs Dolmar 120 super. Dealer support/parts availability was my main issue with it, and I do like Husky's air filters better than anything else. The sound and performance of that Sachs was hard to beat though. Also, it had a primer bulb on it, so it always started within 2 pulls no matter how long it had been sitting.

Here's a question for you geniuses:

If Stihl is such a great saw, why do they (Stihl) only have a 90 day warranty on their saws, while Husqvarna and Echo each have a two year warranty on theirs?

Enquiring minds want to know.

If you were a little more local, I would challenge your new 455 Roachy to a race against my 20 year old 034.

But hey, why bother?

Go to Amazon and read what some people are saying about the saw you bought. :hmm3grin2orange:

The third one is really sad, huh? How good was that two year warranty?

 

[chowdozer]

Uh-huh. And Toyota offers a 3yr/36K mile warranty.

What's Hyundai have? 7yr/100K miles?

Which would you buy? No Hyundai for me, thanks.

Let's not forget resale value.

Sap will never agree with this post.. His rancher is the best..just ask him..

Hey sap. Do us all a favor. What was the name of the Stihl dealer you had all the problem with? I'd like to bring him in on this conversation.

Yup!

This would enlighten us!

Andy, I figure that Stihl dealer has been through enough dealing with Sap, nightmare customer of the decade. Probably drinks a 40 a day trying to forget about it.

If the 066 is King, the rauncher is Court Jester!

This is just classic!

Lemon, lemon, lemon and customer service stinks too!, August 26, 2005
Reviewer: loving wife (Bowie, MD) - See all my reviews
I bought this saw for my husband who had wanted one for years. Every time he saw the name Husqvarna he would wax eloquent about their superior chain saws. I purchased it for his birthday, while he was ill. It really cheered him up to think that he had a new saw to try when he got better. He was finally able to use it about a year later, he took it and had the adjustments done according to the manufacturer's instructions. It has never worked properly,it overheats and cuts out. Talking to the company did not work, they said he had gotten it a year ago (of course he was too sick to use it). He has owned it for about 3 years now and has not gotten much work out of it. It requires lots of prep and still works poorly. Yesterday he took it to a shop to have it worked on and they refuse to work on it because they are too hard to fix. My man even has trouble taking the spark plug out because it is not a standard size. This man made an old Homelite saw go for 10years and he bought that one used. Husqvarna is a piece of trash, and we will tell everyone we know that the company does not follow through on the promises of customer service they make on their website. We might as well have flushed the $300 down the toilet. You think you are buying a good piece of equipment that will last you for a few years and you can't even get it to cut a few logs. Shame on you Husqvarna.

Yup...he'll never agree. Logic and common sense don't seem to be his strong points. I wonder,though,if that little saw of his will stand up to much milling? And when he does burn it down if he'll suddenly start reviling Husky and move on to some other brand. Then he'll toast that and move on again...but none of it will be his fault.
