Jonsered 621

The Jonsered 621 was the saw the cognoscenti of tree felling use when I started out in the industry. I mentioned this to the mate I do groundwork for and he has dragged this one out to give me. Now whilst I have never owned one I did use one like this, with the double triggers and AV but it only had a plastic front guard mounted on the top cover. This one has got a chain brake but it only operates when pushed and doesn't latch on. By the time I became self employed in late 74 Husqvarna seemed to have adopted  the Jonsered layout and soon after I bought a Husky 280CD as the Husqvarna dealer was more local.

 

Having also just acquired a Husqvarna 266 to repair (more later) I am amazed at the weight of this 621 in comparison.

 

Can anyone date this  and tell me where the 621 differed from the 80?

Just had to look on acresinternet and the powerhead alone was 6.3 kilos. 280cd specs on there

Thanks peatff, I remember it as being lighter but then up till then I only had a Danarm DDA110

 

The model in the url you cited is as I remembered it so the chain brake must have been later.

Yes I couldn't manage it for snedding now but I was probably stronger then, though at nearly 12 stone I'm 1.5 times heavier than then.
