Husqvarna or Jonsered?

[Ian Leach]

I used a Jonsered when i lived in sweden, very good IMO not as powerful as some but reliable. A swedish guy use to call it a farmers saw because of the abuse he gave it.

I found that the handles and the triggers and general plastic stuff on the jonsered were flimsy, and as they are all quite quirky parts and pretty important then maybe thats why they dont last as long

I found the opposite - I thought the triggers, choke, front handle etc were quite tough - but fairly bulky. To be fair though that was on a saw that is best part of 10 years old now so the newer ones might be a bit more flimsy. (was still running well when I sold it last year too )

fair enough, i havent lifted either saw for 11 years so forget my opinion on this subject.

imagine buying a skoda 11 years ago, every taxi up here is one.

Thankyou for your comments, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have very little experience of chainsaws, so your advice is appreciated. By the way my misses wants a Skoda estate, apparently cracking cars that don't need push starting anymore.

I used to have a fabia sdi estate, brilliant car, 60mpg, cruise at 80 all day. Sold it to my dad, he gets 70mpg and cruises at 60 all day......

My mum and dad had a skoda felicia estate for a couple of years - looked horrid but was actually quite nice to drive. We had one of the pickups for a while (rebadged vw caddy) and I really liked it - the little 1.3 petrol engine took a bit of winding up but it went ok.

The misses wants the Octavia diesel estate, but i am keeping me Landy!!!!!

H guys just back from a spell in canada and boy was it cold , just -32.

 

Back on track:

 

Electrolux manufacture both saws as well as a few other brands and they all have there own merits.

But i think husky/jonsered are the cream of there saw's therefore take your pick but dont discount stihl.

And there is nothing wrong with a skoda apart from its name.
