Burk Falls in on Hwy 11 north of Huntsville about an hour and a half from me , I can also get any Jonsred from the states at a good price but the 2159 is cheap than the 2156 by abit. I am not sure if I can put prices on here without getting into trouble , I am a sponsor so if any of the moderators can tell me yes or no to this that would be great

donny,i am not a big fan of white birch or soft maple. its fine to work with and burn at the start and the end.700 sounds fair i guess,call around,but the seller is always in charge of the deal.I also found CASH talks.Mention that.Did you get my pm.Let ed get back to you before you buy anything just to see but i'll bet a 100 difference.He is quite connected in our area.stay in trouble.jeff
finally here
here she is boys and girls,took two weeks to get it but well worth the wait,only had time to run two tanks thru, amazing saw!!! i srated a new thread friday evening asking for bar and chain combos, not much response, seems the majority of AS members run stihl, you don't know what your missing. anyway i will run the 20" 3/8 for now, hopefully over the holidays i will have enough time to make lots of woodchips

I avoid the pretty looking newer Jreds for that very reason.
About a year ago I passed on a very good deal on the 2171 for that reason, and I do not regret it.

well that was your first mistake, running a husky, i however prefer the jonsered mainly due to the straight bar, keeps the saw at 90 dgrees when cutting. we should have our own little gtg in bobcaygeon to compare, bent vs. straight bars

I should probably know this, but don't those top handles interchange? Troll, do you know? I'll check tomorrow when I get to the store.
Russ;
I've got a 2156DLX with heated handles, and it's a good idea to dump the cat muffler, which I did. It is a very quick saw. The 2156 only comes with the cat, but the 357XP comes with the regular muffler. Also, the 2156 comes with .325 chain. The husky interestingly comes with 3/8 unless you order the XPG with heated handles which comes with the .325. Which do you think is the best way to go?

As far as I know, they do not interchange, unless you change the fuel tank/rear handle assambly also. At least that is the case with the 372/2171.spike60 said:
That would for sure ruin the nice looks of the Jred, and cost some money, so it would be better to buy a Husky to start with.

Well, I checked and in this case they do swap back and forth. Same goes for the 2150/350 and 2152/353.
Not that anyone would plan to go this way, but if you have a mix of models and the different handle angles bug you, you can make them all the same.

So why does Jred use the straight bar and Husky the curved one? Seems like it would be best to use whatever is most ergo, but obviously Jred has a reason.
That 2159 makes me want to swap my 359 for one. Jonnys have to be the best looking saws, bar none. And I don't even like red usually.

Just got a tree monkey 359…The husky handle angle is easier on my left wrist…maybe get some more husky handles for my 2156 and 2159.

Wow, this was an old thread to dig up!
Try one first and see if you might also want to change the brake handle. Different angle of the two sometimes make for a tight fit for guys with large hands.

10-4, thanks guru.
