True enough.
Most of the local OPE dealers, in my area, carry Stihl products. I don’t see many of them carrying the new mowers. Most of the dealers carry two or three different brand mowers. I just can’t see them adding the Stihl mower line.
I’ll check around. There is one near me who might carry them. They already carry Exmark, Scag, and Hustler. I see that Stihl also has a residential lineup.
