Troy-Bilt chainsaws?
Original Message Feb 15, 2005 12:53 pm

Anyone know who is building chainsaws under the Troy-Bilt name for MTD? Are they making their own?

Lint,

Are you saying that you prefer cold, uncooked fish, wrapped in seeweed to a nice bowl of wonton and some fried rice?

Then you will go "full Yuppie" and probably ask for a slice of Tiramisu for dessert, right?!

Please say it ain't so Joe!

Not just Chinese, but Taiwanese!

My Asian geography was never very good! Hell, I thought Taiwan was an independent country!

Taiwan is not part of China.

They have been making superior electronics for years.

Spent a year there, 1970-1971. Very modern and very well educated!

There saws should be very good, unless MTD made them lower their standards!
