Can anyone specifically tell me their experience with the Jonsered 2186?
How is it compared to the Husky 385.
Also, are bars and chains interchangeable?
Thanks

:popcorn:

how many times are you going to change the name of this thread? lol. Three that I've counted...

Anywho, the 2186 is the same saw as the 385. I had one and used 385 parts to fix it up. Good running saw. Lots of power, but feels as heavy as an 066 to me. that is why i sold it. I found that i grabbed the 066 more because they were so close in weight and it had more azz.

But if you never ran the other, the 2186/385 is a great saw. Mine normally had a 24" on it for hardwoods.

The 7900 is a lot lighter and has the same power up to the 24-28" range. After that, I can't tell you as i didn't run longer bars on either of them.

And they both share the same bar mount (oregon D009).
 
Yeah, I specified it so it wouldn't be another brand vs brand question. Lol
We all know there are too many of those.
Search function wasn't getting me the info I am after though.
 
I think you answered it, thanks Stang. :cheers:


So there is no difference in running speed/power, or otherwise between the Husky and Jonsered? Literally the same thing?

I guess I still do wonder why they manufacture the same saw in different colors and slap a different sticker on it. Seems like a waste of time, redundant. :monkey:
 
yup same saw...Mine was a former logger saw that was run lean. The handle bar was bent.

I got a 385 handle bar and put on it (which I liked better than the Jred). Also put a 385 piston in it...

Same part number for the piston, but the Jred part number had dashes where the husky # had spaces or the other way around. lol.
 
Anytime you want to come back down and run the 385 just give me a call. Its getting broke in now and I have ran the 32 inch bar on it. I liked the balance of the 32. My buddy was very glad you was happy with the 66. His brother passed away from the cancer about 2 months ago.
Thanks again

HEY BOB! I was wondering where ya been!
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Yeah, the 66 is a great saw. I put a 24" bar on it, and have been bucking some real big oak logs (about 32") left out on the property for firewood.
Its scary fast, esp. with that muffler mod cover.

I really probably don't need a 385, but you know how it is, what I want and what I need are not the same thing. :ices_rofl:

I was thinking of using the 66 for milling, 385 for bigger logs, and I have a 20" bar on the 570 for bucking.

The 50cc saws are for firewood and limbing.

That should round out the collection pretty well. :rock:
