Jonsered 2188 = Husky 390xp

[SawTroll]

I just got the 2009 printed catalog - the 2188 is there, and the 2186 is gone!

Specs are the same as for the 390xp, no surprices there.....

It is not on the web-side yet.

Glad I got my preban 2186 last year then

The 2188 is basically the 2186, with more cc and power - it is not a "strato" saw.

Excellent!! I've been expecting this, but I figure we will have to wait until later in the year here in the US.

Any other new stuff in there? Such as a 2276??

You always have the latest and greatest info! That sounds very interesting. Although I don't need a saw that big,the 7900 can take care of anything and I have the 105, but suffering from CAD well you know? I wonder if Canada will feel the epa 2010 stuff? I know you can still buy a regular gas can here.

Ad another year to that for me.

I told her I wanted a 2186 or a 111S or it wasn't going to happen. My kidneys still hurt from the elbow drops.

I've been wanting to start milling but wasn't sure if the 2186 had the CC's to cut it. I think the 2188 is the way to go.

2186 been doin good so far milling..

Been using it just for milling and doing a good job....When the 2188 hits here I would like a 2 saw plan for my mill...The 2186 for the Mini mill and the 2188 for the Alaskan... Think that would make a good combo.....

I have been thinking of milling also, nothing too big but nice strait Lodge Poll Pine in the 14'' to 16'' range. I my self would go with the 2186 as parts are available or I would use the 7900 with a milling chain.

Still wondering if the 2010 EPA world will be as strict as previously reported.

Certain folks had been saying all non strato/cat saws would be gone by 2010, I just don't see it happening...

How do you like it for that purpose? What do you mill? A few more cc's wouldn't hurt though right?

If the 2188 is like the 390, it is just a different p&c and all the other parts should interchange with the 2186. I could always rob parts from the Husky counterpart if needed.


I am just glad to see any new JReds, I don't want them to go the way of Partner.
