No big surprise there. especially with Husqvarna exiting the box store consumer segment , MTD wil just about have a virtual monopoly on that market Probably going to end up killing SBD's stock price though for a while til they can show MTD ads to their bottom line

I wonder what the reasoning is. They have to know how the box store market works.

Just another nightmare waiting to happen where we won't be able to get parts for the older equipment.
