"fake" chainsaws
Just curious as to if the "fake" Stihl chainsaws are showing up in your area. We've been seeing them on CL here for a couple years. They are always new, have the same model #, but there are no Stihl decals on the engine, just a Stihl bar. Some of these are absolute monsters with 3-4 foot bars. A friend of mine was working as a mechanic a few years back for a Deere lawn and garden dealer that also sold Stihl. At one of the service schools, this was brought up, although I believe the phony saw in question was a Husqvarna that fooled the dealer into thinking it was real.
I don't have plans to buy one (I've got a couple 40 year old Stihls that do just fine). This blatant copying and dumping into other markets on unsuspecting buyers is quite irritating to me, maybe because I have spent almost 30 years in manufacturing. All sorts of reviews/complaints/comparisons online about the fake Husky and Stihl products. Just tossing this out for conversation.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
