Jonsered 2188

[mad murdock]

Congrats on the new swede saw!! I was perusing jreds website last eve, and noticed that from their main page, you select " country" then saws. When on the "us" site, the 2172 is the largest option available, when you look at models on the Canadian site, they still have the 2188. Anyone else have this experience??

Picked it up today. Runs like a raped ape. Was cutting 30 plus inch Hickory and it ripped right through it

Thanks everyone

How would one know about such a thing? O_O

Were you on the East Coast or West Coast site?

Either way two things:

A. The online sites for Husqvarna and Jonsered suck. Specs are wrong, product offerings are not up to date, etc.
B. The distribution of models on the west coast was rumored to be different than those on the east coast.

At the end of the day the best thing to do is go to your dealer and ask what they can and cant get and hopefully you get a straight answer.

It was western US, vs Canada comaprison. I am not in the hunt for a new saw, was just curious about what was available on the top end of the Jonny red offering. I used to have a 920E, was a very nice saw, used it full time logging back in the early 80's in N. Wisc.
