It would have clashed with all my other saws. :P I worked with an old friend today on another removal. He got a chance to run my 346 and my 372, he was quite impressed. Of course he would be, seeing as he's only run Stihls all his life. He joked about 6-8 times about keeping my 372... :lol:

Well I got to run the new 395 a little bit more today. 4 or 5 cuts before I hit a rock grown into a big fork in the tree. I didn't even get to make the stump cut. :( That makes a total of about 9-10 cuts I've made with it so far. About a tank of fuel total I'd guess. It doesn't rev up as...

Erik, I ended up buying from a dealer I had purchased from before. The only reason Southwest's name came up is because they were the top Google search result. But then that's not saying much. Arboristsite is the top result when searching for arborist forums. :roll: I wanted to deal with...

Well I think I've just placed my last order with my local Husky dealer. I stopped in there yesterday to get a few loose odds and ends, gas cap, various screws, kill switch wire, etc. The total came up to $46 which I thought was a little high but I paid it without looking at the receipt. Today I...

Exactly, Squishey. I've given up on ever having a dealer fix a saw for me. Too many expensive disappointments and shoddy work, many times never even fixing the problem. I can fix 95% of my breakdowns myself. If I can't fix it, then it becomes a parts donor. I'm not paying $80 per hour shop rates...

Because Husqvarna changed the rules to forbid online sales in order to bolster support for local dealers. Just like Stihl, the dealers are now only allowed to sell to their local market or to walk-in customers.

Yup, I don't run stock saws. All of my saws have some degree of modification. ;)

Well I certainly appreciate all the input here as well as the private messages. Husqvarna has changed the rules since the first of the year so technically the dealers aren't supposed to sell out of their area. I contacted a dealer I did business with a couple years ago and they agreed to sell me...

The only local Husky dealer has only been carrying Husky for less than a year. My previous experiences with them when they were a Stihl dealer were not positive and I have no affinity toward dealing with them. I'd prefer dealing with an online dealer since I have all my parts lists and work on...

I've been searching out my options for buying Husqvarna chainsaws ever since they eliminated online sales and Bailey's no longer carries them. Through Google I found a company called Southwest Trading that gave me a price over the phone. I've never heard of them before, does anyone here have any...
