I have been looking around for one of either of these here down under. Can any one confirm whether or not these were sold here in Australia back in the day? I know the Husky 371/372 are the same saw in different Frocks. Cheers
I hesitated to ask here locally as they never seem to know much about the earlier models in the past. Wouldn't hurt though...Looks like nobody here knows. A phone call to the local Distributor might be worthwhile.

Nope. Only the 2172.The 2171 is made under the Redmax name now. You should be able to get a new one from a Redmax dealer.
Yeah. Jonsered 2172 is now Redmax GZ7100.Nope. Only the 2172.

It's relatively new. Globally "for better or for worse" the Jonsered and Redmax brands have been merged, the name and mix of products varying from country to country.I've never heard of Redmax sold here?
Even the used Husky equivalents (371/372) to the 2071 or even the 2171 I can't see around for sale. All you see here are Stihl/s everywhere.
I was actually hoping to come across the older 2071 (late 90's/early 2000's) for instance sold 2nd hand. I have 3 2050's (I know their Husky 49 clones, just a decade later in drag) & want a solid 70 odd cc for larger cutting as I have the chance now & then to hack away @ fallen Gums on a Racecourse near me. Even the used Husky equivalents (371/372) to the 2071 or even the 2171 I can't see around for sale. All you see here are Stihl/s everywhere. I only use these 50's for heavy cutting twice a year with my 2036 for all the small stuff in between. I have one 2050 with a 16" bar that does most of my 6" to 14" odd cutting & the other an 18" for larger stuff but, it works pretty hard for a 22 years old saw cutting 16" odd gums. Not sure if most in the US are familiar with the extremely hard gums we have down here, not to mention if their not green you'll see sparks flying off even with a freshly sharpened chain. The Red gums & some others are especially rock hard. The poor 2050's get hot very quickly cutting down near the large bases. I don't want to fry them as I've done once before with a Tanaka Japanese saw years back but, it was more due to chain getting too blunt (my fault)...
What about going older?
