Even the brand name"Troybuilt"is being dragged threw the mud by "MTD".
Corperations have no conscience when it comes down to" brand names" & "bottom lines" >:(

I unpacked a shipment of saws yesterday. No mention of E-lux anywhere in the manuals, just Husqvarna AB.

To address the comments on this thread that STIHL is going (or will have to go) public...

This is nonsense and there is nothing on the horizon that would make such a move necessary. The STIHL family and their management board are firm and very savvy business people. I was at a function recently where Mr. Stihl specifically made the point that the company will continue to remain family owned and there are plans in place to ensure this.

Not quite what I heard from my Stihl dealer yesterday. Something about the two kids selling the company, but something about keeping their fingers in the operation. I don't know how that jibes with other comments or what you know, but just what I heard.
But I don't mind passing on 'nonsense' if that is what it is.  ;D

beenthere,
I just want to squelch rumors that are not based on facts and are only speculation. Not trying to bust others chops.

STIHL is owned by 4 family members, the sons and daughters of Andreas Stihl. They are active in overseeing the management board and have their offices outside the main entrance to the STIHL facilities in Waiblingen, Germany. Even though they are "officially" semi-retired, they are regularly involved in the business and are officers of the company. They have adult children that are also involved in the business.

That is about exactly as I heard it too. Sounds like a pretty healthy business to me, and now they have a logrite product too.  :)

I hope that this works out for Husky.  If they can start producing more modern, better quality saws (& other power equipment) for a good price

Husky is already on top and makes top quality saws. They have the best anti-vibe out there!


As far as performance Stihl doesn't have anything much better than Kusky except the 395. The 066 is much better thanthe 395.
