Just about every dealer I know is short on stock, be it saws, parts,or even bars and chains. I stated a few months ago that I would much rather do business with local folks, but if they don't have it, they don't have it. Stihl is going to soon learn that a $129 Coocheer saw on Amazon will outsell them. I know the quality will never be the same, but people are getting fed up with high priced stuff they can't get .
Stihl announces layoffs

In general, not so much. Sherwin Williams has been running a big sale through the month of August. September I believe to a lesser extent also.

I believe it was Monty Python who "crooned". See "http://www.lyricsdepot.com/monty-python/i-like-chinese.html"
I was not nasty or used banned words like you just did in this post. Obvious to me, you are the one with a poor attitude. ... Not a fan boy of any power saw or automobile or any hard goods for that matter. I AM a fan of competitive pricing and Echo is very competitively priced compared to Stihl. My money is hard earned and I don't pizz it away on anything if I can help it.
Could have been. At 73 years old, my memory is a bit foggy at times, least that is what my much younger wife tells me....lol
You are kidding right?
You posted incorrect information. I passively corrected you, to which you accused me of providing misinformation (which again, was in response to your incorrect statement.) After someone provided a link for you, which you could have easily done for yourself, you continued to throw out personal insults. Get off your high horse. You were wrong, own it and move on. It wasnt a big deal until you decided to make it one.
For the record, I called you a bag. It seems to fit you like a well worn glove.
Better than being a ........... which is an allowable word on this site. I'd say you and ............ are a good fit.
You must be fun at parties. Don't forget to remind us all again that you're 73.
At my age, I go to funerals instead and I'll be 74 in 11 months if I make it that far.
Never been a party person as I don't consume alcohol or smoke anything including legalized cannabis (here in Michigan). I farm, do heavy fabrication and repair in my shop and read crap on websites and all the while I think to myself how the world is going to do a great reset and none of it will be pretty.

Sounds like nobody will miss you. Pity to go out so bitter and mean. Tis your legacy, so I guess you are owning it, at least here you are. Do you yell at children out in front of your house, shoot pets, etc.
I shoot invasive vermin as well as mule deer in your state and elk as well.
Don't much care if I'm missed or not actually as most of my close friends have already beaten me to the ultimate sleep.
When you get to the end of your line, you will get to experience it as well. No one lives forever except God.

Just go crawl in the hole now. Sounds like you're there already? Why try and spread bitterness around?
I don't know what's going on in your life, and I'm trying not to judge. I'm also trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, that you're not just another narcissistic jackwagon who actually enjoys this in your sick twisted way - in which case you'll be meeting my ignore button shortly. You'll be in good company, several others on this site are already there.
Hopefully you find happiness again before the lights go out. Or at least figure out that trying to kill the happiness of others doesn't make you any happier, or even any less miserable, even if you're a narc.
Well.........how about them layoffs.
Echo saws are in many cases 30+ year old designs...
And Stihl has exactly one fuel.injected saw, which by all accounts sells and works very well.
Don't know as I don't have or want one anyway. Bad enough I have to drive an EFI car and none of my diesel farm tractors have any sort of computerized injection on them, all 100% mechanical injection and I plan on keeping it that way as well.
It seems to be a global issue despite some thoughts in this thread. China has been scaling back production since early this year with some factories closing all together. China is slowly losing its competitive edge although they still got us beat by a long shot.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with an uncle some time ago. He was a manager at Lincoln Electric and oversaw the project to install the largest windmill in Ohio to provide power for the plant. He said Lincoln had not had any layoffs in several decades. He believes the last one was somewhere around the time frame of the Korean War. That's a pretty big accomplishment for a larg(ish) company.
Good lord, carburetors sucked ass compared to even the first throttle body fuel injected vehicles back in the 80's.
Exactly!
