Technically everything is a multiple of taxation!!Seems like double taxing if you paid tax when purchasing those materials.

Only saws i know came with blades were the Wright saws. 3 blades. 1 for crosscutting,1for ripping and 1 to cut up you moose.When someone says “blade”, I’ll ask “you took the chain off and put a blade on?”
Well I made a successful but expensive trip to the license bureau today to title a couple of trailers I scrounged up this summer.
In MN if you need to title a "homemade" trailer that was never titled previously you need to state the fair market value of all materials used to assemble the trailer as your cost EVEN if you sourced those materials for free. So if you spent $100 on steel, $100 on wheels and axles, $100 on decking and $50 on wiring and lights, your trailer "value" is $350 and that is what you pay tax on. And you need to list where you got those materials from. So I ended up listing locations where I got some stuff and other I just put "owned personally" and their value if sold on craigslist.
The "forever" tag for a trailer of QUOTE]That's robbery! Even up here in the people's republic of Canada where everything is taxed they don't tax you twice on homebuilt trailers. $19 I think I paid for a plate for my #7000 lb capacity tandem axle homebuilt trailer. Sales tax is 13% so I think I paid enough on the steel, wood, fasteners etc!

Agree.
All of the main players have at least one saw that owns best of class for given CC range. Anyone who says otherwise should just wear a hat that says fanboy. Granted all of us have our tendencies towards one or two brands but we need to be objective when discussing who is best.
We pay the sales tax and 75 for a lifetime plate on a trailer 2k or less and I think it's 150 plus tax for a larger trailer.Well I made a successful but expensive trip to the license bureau today to title a couple of trailers I scrounged up this summer.

The "forever" tag for a trailer of <3000 lbs gross weight is $55 bucks. A big hit up front but not bad considering you never need to pay again and if you sell the trailer the buyer only needs to pay transfer fees. Then you have all of the misc transfer fees that the state and registrar tack on plus the tax due on the "fair value" of your materials. And they charge 3 percent to run a debit or credit card. So to title two trailers which cost me zero except gas to get home ended up being $165 out the door. Oh well.
Ours is a sticker that is affixed to the trailer tongue. I suppose that way it’s impossible to move from one trailer to another and cheaper for them.

Many here just put "their" lifetime plate on whatever trailer they are using or buy.
Most other saws have ‘blades’. Except, maybe band saws: not sure what you call those (‘bands’?).
You think that bad, look at IL. My 5 x 8 single axle trailer use to cost $18/yr. Now it's $118/yr. I didn't get new plates this year since I'm only using it on country roads.I think NY has everyone else beat. The registration for my "light trailer" (TS 5' X 8') is supposed to be $24.50 per year, but because I don't live far enough away from NYC, we get a $25/yr MTA surcharge, so I pay $49.50 / year to register a tiny little trailer! More than double the price on a dinky trailer, and then the Dems claim they only want to tax the rich!!!
I own two trailers, build both, and have never titled or tagged either, nor paid any taxes. Been pulling them everywhere for at least 10 years. One day I will get caught, but I have saved enough already to pay any fine.

So yea, all the chainsaw companies steal features from each other … I see most of the Husky's now have the side chain adjusters.
But … Stihl saws still have inboard clutches!!! Yeah!
Yes it's ridiculous since it's not like I use it everyday. I looked it up and it appears IL will offer a Forever plate in 2022 and for you guessed it $118. Now if I only can live for another 10 years, it's pay for itself.That is terrible! I wish the people would get fed up and put a stop to outrageous taxes, but it seems we are all just becoming more like sheep!
