Sold Jonsered 2188

[Unionvillecountryboy]

Jonsered 2188 I bought from Elect a few weeks ago. Bought a 661 the same day, knowing that I only needed one. The 2188 is smoother than the Stihl idling, but I'm just a Stihl fanboy I guess. The 2188 plate says 2015 and the saw is super clean, I only burnt about half a tank comparing it with the 661 at the wood pile.

Looking for 750 plus shipping.

Compression 160

Damn I kicked myself for not buying that saw from Joe, and here it is again. I'm going to kick myself again, as I have a ms660 and ms661 at the moment

Nice saw, I just prefer the 661.

Bump, the compression reading was a cold one btw

Wish I would have got that 10mm a year ago from you instead of the one I wound up with.

Which one cut better more power the 661 or Ol J red here just out of curiosity.

Price is what Joe originally listed it for

Maybe if it was a 390xp it would move quicker. Same internals only in black/red & with straight handle & different air filter..

New you can add another $150 or so.

661 will walk all over the 2188. 2188 rated at 6.5 hp; 661 is 7.2 I believe

Yea, the 661 cuts quicker and being a stihl I was more familiar. But you can tell the Jred is 1 lbs lighter too.

I didn't do any timed cookie cuts, but it's not like a 661 vs a 461. Same bar all stock, they were closer than I thought. Stihl was definitely faster, but was also chunkier.

Correct on price. I wasn't trying to make money. I just bought them both the same day because I had no experience with either.
Agree on the new part, but this one is essentially new, very clean.

For some reason the 2188/390 bar limit according to the manufacturers is 28", though plenty of folks have run larger.

I ran a 32" oregon light bar. It was the only bar I had I didn't have to cut any out of the stud slot to get the chain on rim of the Jred.

 

[Unionvillecountryboy]

I was impressed. If the 044 continues to give me fits, I may look for a 2166/72.

Those saws 2188/390 port really well. I have run a 36" on my 385 & the oiler keeps up

there is a 395 locally for 700, it looks beat up though.
