Jonsered

Nice block paving!!!!

 

The only reason to dismiss Jonsered saws is if dealer support is a must for you. I believe there is only one main dealer in the UK which is less than ideal, but if you are buying second hand then you will be quids in as they don't go for anywhere near as much as the Husky sisters do. I was interested in a 2156 which came up on ebay, went for £185 iirc, compare that to what the 357xp's are selling for then there is about a £50-£60 difference! An amount not to be sniffed at in todays climate! Many Husqvarna parts fit the J-red's so i don't think parts would ever be an issue.

 

2152 = 353 (i think!)

2153 = 346xp

2156 = 357xp

2159 = 359

2165 = 365

2171 = 371xp

2172 = 372xp

 

i'm lost now. lol

 

HTH.

 

Thanks about the block paving - if anyone wants the details of the guy that did it........

 

Re-dealer support - I do all my own repairs from total strip downs upwards, this one came in with a leaking crank seal and cost me £27:thumbup:

One mans junk..............

My old 625 mk2 has never let me down,run a oregon chain and keep sharp and the chips pour out of it.I take it out as a back up saw sometimes,or just use it for a change.You wont go far wrong with one.
