Someone asking about parts etc.
The stihl husqvarna saws are definitely the same as the OEMs.
I saw a company history on one of Farmertec's web sites telling
how they started out in 2008 making parts for Stihl and Husky as
an OEM supplier for the China.
As those parts came off patent or FT was granted rights to make,
they started offering kits. That was 2012.
You can buy a box full of every part you need to build your own
saw. In 2017 they started with the complete saws. So yes, they
are copies.....of 20 year old designs.
All FT saws are at least one gen behind the OEMs and sometimes 2
gens like the FT 466 (MS460 clone) vs the STL 462 or FT 272 vs
HUS 572. Just as you can buy brand new reproductions of old
Mustangs, Broncos or Shelby Cobras you can now buy reproductions
of old Stihl & Husky saws. And in the same way that the car
reproductions are better than the originals, these saws are
better than the originals. They have better materials in most
cases and they are made on advanced equipment that is far
superior to the tooling available back then to the OEMs. Stihl
and Husky both have plants over there and the vast majority of
their parts are made there for the whole world. I think Brazil
is the #2 supplier country.
I had a fella trade in a homeowner Husky for a bigger saw a
couple weeks ago. Never been opened. Have a look at the label.
Made in China.
