2171

[Drago 100]

Salve a tutti, vi scrivo dall'Italia, anche io ho una 2171 da circa 2 mesi e mi trovo molto bene, anche se ancora un po' legata, (l'ho usata poco, perchè ho anche motoseghe piu' piccole e quindi la uso solo per abbattimento di alberi grandi)

Lurch2 has himself a nice one....let me run it at the GTG.....stihl smitten....

Yeah, a bit of Husky, but we've lost two Husky dealers in three years. Had one a mile from my office, but they dropped the line, had one a mile from my house and they went out of business. Now the closest ones are 40 miles from me. Just 3 left in the KC area, but one just brought in the full line of saws since summer.

Lost my Stihl dealer in town, but they added another in the town over, but they are pretty clueless. So the closest Stihl dealer I wish to do business with is 15 miles from here or my office. FANTASTIC dealer though, Sladek's in Independence for any locals. I'll plug them because they earn it. With an 066, most of them have to order parts in for me anyway.

Now the big full service Husky guy who just brought all the saws in only stocks a minimal parts inventory at this point, but has decided that I'm serious enough (owning 3 Huskies) that he will special order for me without prepayment, and will even mail the stuff to my house. The prices appear to be right about MSRP, which beats my closest Stihl dealer who is MSRP +50% in most cases on smaller parts, plus makes me pay shipping, and wait for their regular order. About as customer non-service as you can get. Only use them in emergencies now, but as I said, they have to order anyway and Sladeks will order on a phone call and have a better chance of having it in stock that day.

I'm surprised there is a Jonsered dealer in Lawrence. I know they have a Dolmar dealer and at least on Stihl dealer.

I don't know where your office is but I have had good luck with meriam hardware on stihl parts.

Yeah but it's the 372's much sexier twin sister. Straight handle or not Troll you have to admit she's a beauty of a saw. Merry Christmas Troll.

I agree on the sexier looks.

The lack of the option of an high air filter/cover may make a difference to some though (not to me). My 372xpg has thew low one, and it is perfectly adekvate here.

Merry Christmas!

That ones nearly new yet. Still cleans up nice .

 

[TommySaw]

great saws, sexy as hell tbh, but I ordered one in orange with a crooked top handle.

 

[dancan]

Here's mine , not a great pic but it gets a fair amount of use and I have no issues about the straight handle , when using the saw for felling it is on it's side and it doesn't slow it down when bucking or limbing .

I couldn't have said it better.

The 2171 is a nice saw.I almost got one with the drag and bag deal but decided on a rebuilt 371XP that I had Snellerized.Now I have a rebuilt ported 71cc saw for about the same price as new stock one.

I took Spanish in HS, a salesman at my company sells some product in Brazil (Portugese), and I've had to deal with technical questions from there.

But as close as I can come to Italian, (a long way away)Drago says He's from Italy, has had his 2171 for about 2 months, and needs it because his other saws are too small for big trees.

Felice Natale e Capodanno, Drago. Benvenuti nel forum di motosega.

That took me 15 minutes, folks, don't expect more...then my daughter shows me how to use an online translator...

Grazie per gli auguri, contraccambio a te e a tutti i colleghi del forum :newbie:
ho anche un'altra Jonsereds (non era ancora Jonsered) un po' piu' grande, la 920, è del 1983 scusate se non uso il traduttore per postare messaggi, però non vorrei che la traduzione non riuscisse bene.
Grazie dell'ospitalità

 

[HARRY BARKER]

i think he said the jonsereds is big and the greatest saw ever....also some thing about walking slowly by the pool while carrying power tools,and toyota sucks.

Siete benvenuti per l'ospitalità.
Sono spiacente che non capisco più meglio.

Thanks, I try to translate with Google: I am glad you connect too far away, but now I go to sleep, because here are the 2.00 AM

It's a boat anchor , you wouldn't like it .
Strange thing is that I have the same combo loaded in the back of the truck for the lot I'm working on .

"Google Translate" does a better job than "Babel Fish"

"Hello everyone, I am writing from Italy, I too have a 2171 for about 2 months and I'm very well, although still a bit 'tied, (I've used it, because I also chainsaws more' small and hence the Use only for felling of large trees."

"Thanks for the wishes, I reciprocate to you and all Members of the Forum
I also have another Jonsereds (Jonsered was not) a little 'more' great, the 920, and 1983 Sorry if I do not use the translator to post messages, but I would not like that translation does not succeed well.
Thanks hospitality"

Never used a Dolmar saw before (don't even know where there is a dealer here in Michigan). But if you use that saw over a 2171 it must be a good saw.

Lots of folks on this board love their 2171s...me included. I prefer their straight handle over the Husky, and I've got a phenomenal dealer. He deals in saws and sharpening only...and he only carries Jonsered.

As to the Dolmar...which peninsula do you live on here in MI? There's only one dealer here in the Detroit area, and their claim to fame is that they flat-out suck. They only carry the home-owner saws...not a 5100 or 7900 in sight.

I live 1/2 way between Lansing and Flint. Have really good Jonsered, Husqvarna and Stihl dealers, but no Dolamr (that I know of). Kinda wondered about the "suck" part. I know and deal with a lot of wood cutters and loggers. None of them use a Dolmar. But never having used one, I'm not going to bad mouth them.

How far are you from Bancroft?
