jonsered saws, worth a try???

[GTaylor]

i am about due a new saw and after walking round the stands at the apf at the weekend looking at prices of husky and stihl got to thinking about trying a jonsered. any one any thorts, saw would replace 357xp.

I have 2 Jonsereds, only use them for logging though, there a poor relation to a husky and most of the parts fit the same saw in the Husky range. there semi pro i would guess but not a bad tool IMO

I used to run a couple of Jonsereds, a 2163 and a 2141 (or could have been a 2041) used one of there bigger ones a few times too and they weren't bad saws. a little numb compared to the husky but as above, many interchangable parts.

 

Costs crept up towards husky and it seemed less people stocked them but if the price was right I'd have bought them again.

the current jonsered range of saws (and all the 21 and 22 series saws) have the exact same engine internals as the husky range...

 

the only difference is plastics and handle bar angle.

 

 

2153=346xp, 2165=365, 2171=372xp etc...

If I am not mistaken the HVA 357 is 2156 when it has the red/black dress on.

My 2094 dose just fine, keeps up with my husky394 xp nowt wrong with the old ones cant say about the new ones though never used one newer than mine (20ish)

thanks very much, a bit of advice is allways good. being brought up on stihl and husky like to get abit of know how before switching. who are the best dealers? i was talking to the central spares lads at the show,

cheers

Central Spares supply me with Jonsereds and I have a few in stock.

 

CS are the importer of Jonsered and I think a trade only outlet, but this may have changed.

I have sold a few over the last 18 months or so. I think they are OK, Jonsered, Husqvarna, Partner, McCulloch and Flymo are all part of Husqvarna outdoor products which in turn is owned by Electrolux.

 

The way the range has been explained to me is such as the CS2138 etc is a hobby light weight saw and could be described as having McCulloch pedigree where as some of the medium & larger saws are more in line with Husqvarna and very different machines, so I think it is a case at picking the right saw in the range for you.

 

I am also in Cumbria if you want to what I have in stock then PM me.
