WOW!! FedEx showed up with my 2260. I guess you guy that said Jonsered saws look better than Husky's were absolutely right. I think this is the first time i've smiled pulling a saw outta the box[emoji4]

the color isn't enough for the handle bar difference for me. i tend to ignore color actually. as long as it isn't creamsicle but at that point i can tell by it's ****** handling and blocky feel so don't need to see a color LOL

I even got the Total Super bar to really make it shine when polished[emoji1] but i put the Tsumura Light & Tough on for now.

If it ever quits raining i'll get it dirty

dude man, what are you thinking. the johnny's and stihls are meant to be ported and polished daily for shelf appeal. the huskys and dolmars are for actual working :D

"Ported Saw Polishers". you'd need to talk to the legendary GOAT for a full explanation but i believe they are guys who buy saws, port them, then put a $200 bar on them with no intentions to actually cut wood :D the GOAT can tell you more if he hasn't been banned by now. haven't seen him around lately.

So I was thinking "ported saw polisher", but for some reason I thought that might be too mild of an explanation/ definition.
My hesitancy may have been due in part to your "balls deep" comment to MustangMike........LOL!

the handle really isn't that bad. it's actually better for someone who actually use their saws. a big thing about running a saw is being able to run it as a lefty or a righty. around here anyways. if bucking a log on steep terrain means one side is gonna shoot for the skies or towards you it is needless to say that your gonna want to be on the safer side of the buck LOL the angled handlebar makes running a husky as a lefty a pain in the ass but it can also be gotten used to as most of a guys day is running it with his dominant hand anyways. not sure what it is about the small mount as i hate the existance of that mount. husky should have made them large mount across the board. :)

I don't get bothered by foolish comments made by 25 yr olds, I was young once too!

Besides, I think he is used to cutting that softer wood, but gets real impressed that it is bigger.

So he likes Dolmars & Huskies, but not J Reds and Stihls??? I mean, you just can't make this stuff up!

i like all saws mike, i razz people about brands though. yer getting into the touchy subject again with age. i'll tell ya right now. age has nothing to do with anything. i know some 50 year olds who know everything and some 16 year olds who know everything. (yet they know nothing) LOL i have made a fool out of plenty of old culls and you will be no exception. unless were talking taxes, mustangs, or 044's LMFAO! none of those which i like or am interested in!
