Would love to Jon except we will be in Italy at that time. Looks like everyone has a great time and plenty fun at these things. Not a big fan of Apple's though

Met a good Stihl dealer today Jon. He came along with the Greenmech rep. Talk about being bombarded with shiny stuff. 880 on the cards with a 48" bar. Decent price too.

I adore husqvarna for how they embrace the internet. I've just entered an online competition from they themselves to win a climbing saw. True freedom on the web. No political hoops to jump through.

 

It is the way forward. If people are going to do stupid stuff with things they buy they are going to get them from elsewhere anyway. A rolling pin can injure or kill if used in an abused way. cut the claptrap and redtape lets get on with the job.

 

I might even do a climbing course if I win it. I've been plenty high before but not on a rope. Because I thought the manufacturer wouldn't let me buy one. in case I wanted to kidnap someone or do worse to myself. Oh Im getting mixed up with the stihl policy and its police enforcers.

That's about the best interpretation of the Stihl policy I've read :lol::001_tt2:

Welcome to the forum Peter.

Does the Stihl policy exist in Australia as well?

I will have to check with the local dealer in mundaring, outside perth, i cant see how this policy could work in australia, people would end up with a 2 day drive there and back to pick up their new saw, just about everyone in australia out in the bush has a chainsaw, i see kids cutting up the firewood wielding a ms650, seems to just come natural to them, australia is wrapped up in health and safety to the point of excess but common sense still seems to prevail, i can see both sides of this story, but at the end of the day people will buy from the cheapest source mostly, buying on the internet and having it delivered next day is the way the world is going, its the norm now, the guy in scotland is just being petty and not doing stihl any favours, protecting his own business by stabbing others in the back is not the way forward, if stihl are worried that people will harm themselves with a saw then have the option of an online disclaimer to be signed by the customer,you can buy a chainsaw from bunnings here and walk out with the box, the shop handovers are a joke, as one said here they start it and rev it and say there you go !!. people here still take responsibility for there own safety, the ones that get it wrong........well at least they dont dilute the gene pool.........
