Jonsered 2172

[SawTroll]

I got a 2171 if you missed my other thread mr troll. I think it feels better than the xpw did.

Well, opinions will vary - as they should!

It would be no fun on here, if everyone agreed on everything!

In my very limited & humble opinion I feel strongly that its hard to go wrong with a Jonsered.

I just wander does anyone ever come across a NOS 2094 or a NOS 930?

Most of the modern ones are rebranded Huskys - Husky started making Jonsered saws in 1982 or so (630 and 670), but it took more than 20 years before they made all the better ones.......

That is true. I thought the straight handle felt a little awkward at first now it feels good.

SO, let me get this straight. I've heard of the e-lux take over. Does Husqvarna own e-lux as well.

I also heard that jonsereds were hand made.

I had the chance to buy a NOS 930 Super West Coast a few years ago, but we couldn't come to terms on a price.

they could take a 346xp,make it red and call it a 2011 jonsered 490,haha

Well it sure will be lighter than a 576 or 441. I was just curious. I'm on the fence about a 372 or 2171 and now this is thrown into the mix. I just want to get a new one to use most of the time. The 576 is a fine saw but is too close in weight to the 390 so it doesn't get used much.

Yes, the "mix" is a bit crowded at the moment!

The red version of the NE346xp is the 2153 - it has been out for a few years!

No, they own all the OPE brands that E-lux used to own + the what they have bought later.

went to my local echo j-red dealer and asked about the 2172 and it is kinda pricey. $859 w/36in. bar. This saw it the next on my wish list

A 36" bar is just too much on a 70cc saw - it is odd that the dealer didn't tell you!

I've got two 930 Supers that are A and A+ condition. Very nice saws, with gobs of low end. Won't be parting with either of those babies.

Yeah I know, I was thinking more on the line with a 24in. bar :monkey:

That makes a lot more sense, but I wonder why he gave you a price with a 36" one then?

 

[mark360T]

i have no idea. he said that he could possibly lower the price when i buy it:spam:
