Why Do Stihl Saws Cost SO Much More?

[Ryan'smilling]

I guess that I am not fully up to date on my Acronyms/Abbreviations, what does. SHRN stand for?

While we're at it, how about GLWS, as well.

Thanks,

Doug.

Google can help you with this in the future, especially Urban dictionary, but I'm pretty sure I can field these two.

SHRN: So hot right now

GLWS: good luck with sale


And a bonus one because it's my favorite-

TLA: three letter acronym

Stihl ain't hype. Stihl is rated the best chainsaw in the world repeatedly by independent sources.

Stihls best selling saw the 029, MS290 and MS291 are no where near the best saw as they are heavy and gutless... Its Stihl hype and over rated HP that sells those saws. Steve

If you stay outside 200 yards of a donut shop your good.

Great prices on those Husky's.

Are you saying Stihl will no longer make oddball loops at the factory? If so, their choice. However, if I'm a Stihl dealer (or any dealer for that matter) and I buy/have rolls of chain, I'll make them to and length "MY" customers want. That's customer service.

Yes "According to my Dealer" ..&.. Their Distributer/Warehouse in Virginia Beach ?

Less their Uninterested ? ... They do have Fortitude & Have Accommodated. Countless Phone Calls, etc.

Virginia Beach would Not spin me a 29" Cannon for an 880 ? Our dealer doesn't spin.

Swing over Husqvarna ... They Spin, I believe Oregon Tie Straps, fit Stihl Chain.

The Stihl Dealer is Fed Up with Corporate on their end ?

Stuck in the Upper Peninsula, however $700.00 20" 372xp

$809.00 24" 576xp

Due to overstock ... ?

I don't know if Stihl sell their chain in rolls or not. My only Stihl is a little one and I use off the shelf chains on it anyways. If they do sell rolls and your dealer doesn't buy them and make loops themselves, that's a dealer thing.

If Stihl's policy is to not make oddball size loops at their corporate facilities but sells rolls to dealers. Corporate Stihl would have no idea what size loops individual dealers are making.

Those are really good prices. Maybe due to overstock, I have no idea. If you're interested in either of those two saws, I'd buy the one for sure.

If you're married and are worried about what the wife will say. Just doesn't tell her until after you buy it and use it. It's easier to beg for forgiveness then ask for permission. Or maybe your wife's like mine. Honey, I bought a new chainsaw. I don't care....just don't bring them in the house anymore!

Your dealer is lying. He doesn't get his parts from the factory, but gets them from his distributor.

Your dealer goes through the dist., like everyone else.

Yea I do it to but mine's not purple. That's 5 or 6 ash trees from a few months ago. I cut them down with the 028 as well as many other trees then cut these with my 2 piston ring muffler modded skip chain craftsman. Its a fun saw to mod and it does an awesome job. I have no complaints about my saw. My 64cc 290 with the muffler mod just cuts faster and pulls the 20 inch bar in anything . I don't hate the wild thing but I would go a different route if it were a business thing and not a fun thing.

I made ten dollars, is that considered a business?

No some one paid you to have fun using chainsaws. But I'm sure you would have done it for free. I know I would have but I would have taken the wood.
