[AT] New chainsaw

[Rick Weaver]

I love my jonsered saw.  It revs faster than any other saw and cuts
faster because of it.  All you have to do is listen to it with other
saws around and you realize it is a screamer.

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

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?
