Apparently the great saw shortage is over at least at this store

Stopped in to pickup some parts today & as usual I check the saw selection/inventory:
Several Farm bosses, 250/251’s & top handles. He said he had sold 4 -500i’s & had 4 more on order, then there were these beauties:



This 661 is M-tronic


This 261 is an adjustable carb

 

Looks good, I hope it’s over. ordered 25’ of 3/8 pm 3 weeks ago that hasn’t come in yet.

 

Don’t think it’s over yet. I was just at my dealer and bought his last 500i of the year. Can’t get any lightweight bars, long wait for chain, no 462’s or 661’s …..

They seem to divy them out in spurts. Nothing but homeowner stuff for awhile, then they’ll get 10 pro saws in

 

I’m literally hoarding all sorts of items, food, clothes, etc…. I don’t think things are gonna get better soon.

 

Bumming a ride on this train.

We got our first delivery of Christmas presents last week.

 

I've been looking for some 'backup' saws for 'just in case' and the prices are nuts around here and on-line.
If you can find a 261 or 461 (regular old carburator version) it seems like they cost almost double what I could find them for a year or two ago.
Demand must be up.

 

When did you start wearing clothes??

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…

 

I notice they’re up a little around me as well. There’s a Husky 350 on MP for $300.

 

Well, I don’t get quite as excited about vacuum cleaners, sewing machines & kitchen supplies…



Someday I may venture into a Husqvarna dealer but I would have to find one first.

 

I jest. Their new saws look great.

 

My favorite! The 241.

 

I’ve always worn chaps!

 

Scares me there are members here with bigger selection

 

Good point Lyle.

 

That's not helpful.

 

might have been if I wrote it 3 weeks ago

 

Safety first!
