Tilton Equipment no longer Distributing Jonsered Equipment

[tlandrum]

you want that possum live or dead,flat or full figured :msp_w00t:

 

[SawTroll]

If they would do that, it would do a lot of dealers, especially those which sell only jonsered for saws, a huge disservice!

Right - I have tropuble believing that they were as badly prepared for this as it sounds like here! :msp_rolleyes:
Tilton can't be the only part that knew this was coming?

Let's hope it isn't that way!

Can I still get a possum?

Headed for the North coast this weekend (Lake of the Woods). If you'd like, I can chase a couple across the Rainy River. You can have all of em I can find. They're a cruel trick played on us by Southerners still mad about the Civil War. They showed up up here during the '87 drought when a lot of hay was being trucked up from down south. Vile little creatures. The only good possum I know of is George Jones, and he's long gone from the radio these days, chased off by rapping cowboy wannabes.

 

[SawTroll]

OK..............We're getting all of the good stuff. Maybe not any WH models, but pretty much the full line.

Any news about when?

 

[TK]

Is WH a wrap model, heated handle model, or both? I don't know Jonsered. WH could be wrap handle, or wrap/heated

WH means heated handle and carb, and has nothing to do with wrap handle.

What's the wrap model designation?

I always thought it meant "winter-heated". Wrap usually just says "WRAP".

 

[Justsaws]

Anyone know what Tilton's is planning to do? Have they mentioned anything new or are they just planning on sticking with the 4 product lines currently listed on the web page?

Yard Shark?
Aqua Stripper?
T/T? Was not much left here to begin with.
and a really expensive thingy to move stuff?

Seems bleak.

NO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BURRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Can't you get them to sneek in one batch of 2260WH?

I'm only saying they weren't on the list...............don't know if they might show up or not. I'm just thankful the regular 2260 was there.

In the mail. Did I poke holes in the box? Can't remember, but you will find out soon enough.

I have no better idea what the letters W and H actually means, but then the "winter" has to be about the handles, and "heated" about the carb (as there are "W" models as well, with heated handles and not heated carb).

Regarding WRAP, I agree - there is no actual model designation for it.

Any idea when you might see the 2260?, or any saws?

 

[WetGunPowder]

Still no word here in the Midwest. Called Pace Dist and was told dealer info has been sent and should see it in the next few days............................

A Possum is like a 560XP, cant get them here either yet, but want one.

Dead or alive, same as a 560!

I strongly dislike the design of the starter cover of the Jonsered versions of the 5xx saws, but that's just one opinion.....

 

[TK]

I don't see anything wrong with the starter covers???

And I had to go to a Euro site in order to even find a 2260 pic lol. When I went and explored I found this beauty. Right AND left handed saws. So much for that straight handlebar, defeats the purpose now LOL

 

[SawTroll]

That's a cool creation - and you can see some of the "offensive" starter covers there, but you don't really get the right impression of them in that picture.....:msp_wink:

The starter cover looks great to me. Here's the 2260 (from the Swedish site). Click on it to make it bigger:
