Judge says, " Hold up there Husquvarne, your saws are sooo much better than Stihls. Your gunna have to give up some of your trade secrets and patents just so Stihl can stay afloat and give you just a little bit of competition."

:rolleyes:

Why do people get so sore over the fact husqvarna has shared some strato/AT info with stihl ? ... is it really that important ?

Having read the EPA mandate on small engines covering power saws, I personally would be surprised to see a new saw in this size class from either manufacturer. There is just no push for them at this time to update the pro level saws that they are(what basically amounts to) getting a pass on. From the way I understood it as, there is a level for them to meet for pollutants, if said level is under with certain models others would be given credit that were over, as long as it all averaged out. Don't know if/when this may change.
Also it is a very strange read and does explain a lot of what manufacturers are going through and why some just stay in the small saw market with the new classification set up. As well as the criminality of modifying pollution controlled saws, or even working on one uncertified or enabling some one to do so by selling a tool to an uncertified mechanic. All manor of ridiculousness.

For me, I would say because they did not earn it themselves. Used to be how the reward system used to work. Hard for an older person like me to adjust. No not that important really, just worth noting.

according to my stihl dealer one saw is being discontinued and the 461 is getting updated.
* the ms 250 is getting discontinued and going on sale for 100.00 off this fall.
i asked about the 441 and he didn't know anything about what is happening there.

Does not give specifics on individual saws, only mandates to manufacturers what to do and how to comply and how much to pay.
