The 560 XP's red sister, Jonsered 2260 !

[timmcat]

I called Tilton again today to place a saw order and 2156's were on backorder again, and as expected nobody knew anything about 2258's or 2260's or their expected delivery date. Some days I wish I could convince my boss to take on Stihl just so I dont have to deal with Tilton.

Now that's a good looking saw :msp_thumbup:

I don't like the design of the starter cover - but no biggie.....

 

[SawTroll]

It looks like the 2260 and 2258 is out here by now. :biggrin:

 

[SawTroll]

Me too, but the 20" Tech-Lite bar on the 562 changed that. Weighs the same as 560 with 18" solid bar. Course ya could put a light laminated bar on the 560...

But Dang, I sure like the looks of this J-red. Might have to trade my 562 in at some point. :msp_smile:

Exactly what did! :biggrin:

So you're going to get one of those too, right?

No, as I like the handlebar angle of the 560xp better, and dislike the design of the "spin start" starter cover on the newer Jonsereds - looks a bit "gay" to me.....:msp_w00t:

Did Niko just use the word 'gay' in a sentence....???

What's odd with that?

Eh. Nothing really. I found to be rather entertaining actually.


Hey you know what..... My teeth are hard so I can chew chips.

Well, that design just is a disaster, and totally destroying the otherwise excellent looks of the saw - sort of "pimped" in the negative meaning....

After spending some time with the 562xp, it's a keeper. I no longer want the Red version. :msp_smile:

Niko I almost can't believe you didn't comment on the comment I made about the chips.

Niko I almost can't believe you didn't comment on the comment I made about the chips.

He decided your comment was gay and went outside to wring the necks of a few wild turkeys.

I didn't.

So is tilton equipment known for sucking because there is a new Jred dealer near me and I was actually going to check out the comparable Jred saws to the Huskies I was looking at. I called the guy and he said his stock was going to be in in a week. I figured OK I can wait a week so I called again about a week and a half later and the guy says "nope, not in yet, not for another 2 weeks or so". Suffice it to say I bought a Husky as this was my first experience with a Jred dealer. I wonder how many customers they lose this way?

They have turkeys in Norway.....?? Sweet I wonder if they have croutons too.

Not wild turkeys, as far as I know - but they usually turn up a bit before Christmas, frozen......

Croutons are common in dried "fast soup" etc..

It is on the Norwegian Jonsered website, and in brochures.

Looks like USA release of these new models is not any time soon- Tilton have the 2156 and 2159 back in stock and shipping to dealers as of a couple weeks ago...
