jons 920 vs. stihl 056

[joed1694]

My local friends tell me to dump my 920's and switch to 056 stihls. I think they are telling me that because there are not very many jons dealers in the area. Is this true?

The 056 mag II maybe but definately not the AV if you are looking for more power

Either one is getting to be almost a collector's item...how about 7900 Dolmar?

Is what true?

Are you having trouble with your 920, or getting parts? If not, there's nothing wrong with keeping what you have. What are you doing with the saws? Milling? Like has been said, the 056 is an old saw. A good saw, but an old saw. If you're gonna make a switch to another saw, you might give the 056 a second thought. There's lighter, faster, bigger saws out there which parts are still readily available for.

Where's Bargersville at? I'm from Indiana and haven't heard of it before. I'm originally from Leavenworth, IN which is a town no one's heard of.

Welcome to AS.

It would make a lot more sence to swich to 066/MS660 if your 920s are tired.
