Chainsaw Repair

Same here in my area  Al. Our largest saw dealer [1 of 2]  sold both Stihl and Husky, but somehow lost or let the Husky franchise go. The 2nd dealer now sells Husky which I run and support , but if I need a loop of chain in my different odd sizes he has to order it in. He doesn't stock rolls and doesn't  have a breaker /spinner. But I can't blame him........ in our small town the True Value hardware store down the road from the Husky dealer also sells Husqvarna consumer saws and trimmers. Something Stihl would never do, only one Stihl dealer allowed for a certain populated area for as long as what I rememeber.

In our area one thing about Stihl that I like is their strong dealer support and the way their dealers support the customer. Something definately Husqvarna has to work on. Husqvarna can't take for granted the good quality and features of their XP saws and the mass big box store marketing of their consumer units.

Why did I switch to Husky after running Stihls for 28 years? Those XP saws are soooooo nice to run.
