SICK deal on new Jonsered. What would you do?

[rngrchad]

I am not looking to add a saw to my collection. I just found out my dad'sfriend is a jonsered dealer and is gonna hook me up something fierce. I just don't need another 50, 70, or 90 cc saw. Really I don't need another saw at all. I just want to utilize this hookup I've got....if you had the saws I have (look at my signature) is there anything the Jonsered line offers that you hardcore's just couldn't turn down? From the sounds of it the dealer doesn't seem to want to make a dime off the saw!

Maybe I need to buy a the 2186 and use it as a dedicated milling saw when that time comes. Or buy the 2171 for a backup for my 372. Or maybe get a the 2157 so I can quit using the ms360...? oh the decisions.

This is kinda a repost..the other one got lost in transition.
-Thanks so much.

2171 or 2186 sounds fine. You know a 2157 can't replace a MS360, the only saw that can replace the 360 is a 361, I prefer the 360.:hmm3grin2orange:

Get the 2171 while you still can!! Don't be foolish!!

Maybe another top handle?

I would get a 2165 or 2171 and then buy the 75cc 372XPW top end for it, and then you would have something a little different (but there are others)

Nice thought. Maybe I'll go that route.

What do you mean "get the 2171 why you still can"?

I don't think the 2186 is really enough saw for milling. I've milled with a 272xp and 066BB, and the 066BB works pretty hard in hardwood. The 2153, 2171, and 2186 are all good choices if you want a Jred.

2171 and 2186. Just get them and never look back.

Pull the trigger...

They are supposedly being discontinued this year. They won't pass the 2010 emission standards.

The story is the same with the 2186 also isn't it?

Pretty sure, but not positive.

You should pick up a 2156.
