[AT] New chainsaw

[D8RMAN at aol.com]

Charlie, Yes Jonsered is still sold in the US. I own 3 older ones and like  
them a lot but trying to get parts for the old ones is getting harder these  
days. I am not impressed with their dealers support but their saws are still  
good. I bought a Stihl pole saw last year and love it. May buy another Stihl saw 
 this year. Having a local dealer who can fix things fast is important to me. 
 Went into a Jonsered dealer last year and the guy told me it would be 3 
weeks  before he could get to it ( he also fixes lawn equipment) and it was the  
beginning of mowing season. I like the Husqvarna saws too but I don't think I  
could get good quick service for them if I bought one at Tractor Supply 
Company  that carries them. Has anyone bought a saw at TSC and went back for 
repairs? I  would like to hear your experience if you have. Willard Smith

Stihls  have been the choice of pros around here for a long time but 
Huskvarna is  popular too.  I kept trying to think of the other brand that 
caught  on with the loggers for a while that I haven't seen lately.  It  
finally came to me... Johnsered.   A lot of guys raved on them  for a while 
but I don't see them any longer.  Does anyone know if  they are still made or 
still sold in the US?  Or did they get bought  out or something?
