Thanks to Husqvarna!

[Shane]

This message is assuming that my local Stihl/Husky dealer was telling the truth - he usually does and he will NOT post parts, so he's for real.

 

I would like to extend my thanks to Husqvarna for a very good piece of design.

 

You have finally managed to produce what looks like a good top-handled saw.

 

BUT - as seems to be the way these days you've managed to make it a bit more difficult for MS200 users to convert.

 

You cleverly use the same chain as Stihl (fank god 'Arry) but just so the 10 or so chains I have cycling around for my MS200s cannot be used on your saw you have developed bar lengths which require a different number of drive links!

:lol:

Thanks - I can honestly say that I considered buying one of your saws this week (I've heard decent reviews) but I'll wait a year or so till my MS200s have used up all those chains and gradually died.

 

If you want to fight in the market - think about who you are competing with and maybe find ways to entice customers over.

Having the same chains as their competitors could equally work against them Shane, did you consider that

I can't see that they would deliberately keep the sizes different - given that they have a small share of the market. if they were market leaders trying to kill off the opposition (like Microsoft often did) then yes - I can see it.

 

Over to you, Oregon etc...

American and Japanes/Chinese aftermarket stuff to the rescue (and a load of crap on ebay no doubt).

Husky have always been a few links more (usually 2)

Planned marketing and obsolescence with both company's lines is the name of the game.

Always a chance of some cross over with brands models, just happens that way.
