Welcome to the dark side my friend.
The 359 will give you good service, as will the 2159.

You can still find the jonny 2165 online for 509.00. If you want new this is what I would look at.

Sounds like a good deal, but then he need to keep the 026 for limbing ets.
...but he really should do that anyway.......

I don't really get what getting a larger saw has to do with Husky vs Stihl.....

An 026 is a good doorstop, limbing is a job for a 346xp.

Thats what I was wondering? The 26 is a good saw generally for its size.

I have had starting issues with the 026pro from the start. Our Stihl leaf blower that we bought at the same time had the same issues. When they fire up, they run like a champs. I posted the issue a few days ago (chainsaw). I checked the local Jonsered dealer and the 2159 is on sale with 20" bar for $539. I have a Jonsered, and a Husky dealer within 10 minutes of the house. There is also a Stihl dealer within 10 minutes as well=Ace Hardware. I'll look into the Jonny 2165 as well.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.

The 026/260 is a very good saw, but I agree the 346xp is better - but that is another (never ending) discussion......:greenchainsaw:

As I understand it, there sometimes are issues with the choke flaps not doing there intended job on the 026 - I believe there is a easy fix to it.

Sure it is, but an outboard clutch isn't appealing to me in the 60cc class, for an allround saw........:greenchainsaw:
...but I still want a 262xp (not xpg in that case) - weird HUH.......

How about a overweight 575 with dull chain for a door stop......
...or a NE one with more power and less weight for cutting wood - I just got confirmation that they actually are availiable here.....

2159 2159 2159 it just looks better than it's ugly sister!
Mod the muffler and your good to go.
I do have a soft spot for the 260/026, yes I don't totally hate Stihls.
But I think you would like how smooth the 2159/359 are.
This is really just a worthless post I was bored, But do like my Jred and the dealer is great.
