$3395NZD is about $2450USD and the price does include all taxes and a 30 inch bar...But yes it is expensive

 

[Wonkydonkey]

£1476 here with a 30 bar. Which equates to 2906 NZD

[RI Chevy]

Stihl Large Mount. 3002 I believe.

In the First moment I was shocked too.
Then I checked the NzDollar / euro chart and then I realize, that the saw has the same price in Germany.

New Zealand GST is 15% so that's also a bit higher than some places

well my wife said she feels bad, said my 881 won't be hear in time. now she doesn't know what to get me for our anniversary. she asked what other saw she should get me. Should i tell her the dealer called and said i can pick it up tomorrow? or see if she gets me another saw?.
the weekend is going to be cold and raining. i was going to run it against my 880 before sending it to Scott to do his magic

 

[RI Chevy]

Send the 880 to me. Lol

Since she already ordered the saw, just settle for the biggest cannon light bar she can find.

You're going about it wrong. Send me the wife!

 

[RI Chevy]
