What's going on with Husqvarna??

I been told this week from a couple sources that all the territory reps are gone. Also the Charlotte headquarters is down to a skeleton crew.

Also heard more about the big dealer that went out, but I wont get into that.

Have they gone down the same road as Homelite & McCulloch? (Box Stores)

What has actually happened is that the regional managers positions have been eliminated. Each regional guy had 6-10 territory reps under them. It was essentially a middle management position.

The reality is that Husky has ADDED lots territory rep positions, with each rep having a smaller area which he can cover much better.

In my opinion, it's a big improvement over what they had before.

How can I find the rep for central Florida? I got one crappy lawnmower shop as my only Husky dealer within 30 miles (Lowe's doesn't count).
