Stihl is on the shelf if you walk in the store. Stihl doesn't allow internet sales of their saws.

Stihl internet sales not a problem in Russia - http://techno-angel.ru/catalog/stihl/motornye_tsepnye_pily/benzopily/

If it wasn't for husqvarna selling homeowner grade saws in box stores that don't service them, we as pro saw buyers would have kissed goodbye a lot if desirable big bore saws awhile ago. Clean credits.

You are going to have to explain that one, Chris.
I don't get it.

If husky sells a lot of low emission yet junky homeowner-type saws, that allows them to sell more high performance, high emission pro saws because the units sold of low emission saws helps counteract the units sold of high emission pro saws. I assume the overall emissions produced by a given number of saws sold has to be within certain legal parameters.

 

[Tucker943]

What he said. Husqvarna gets clean credits for every so many of those low emission junk saws. Those clean credits allow them to import some dirty high performance unit. That's why the original 372 was cut off and brought back so many times before it ended.

Aaaah!

I heard similar, not same, about Stihl MS 440s being on the shelf again for a bit at Madsen's. 2-3 years ago.
