Jred 820

How does the Jred 820 compare to the 920 or 30? I saw a 42” bar on one. Seems like that might be pushing its capabilities.

81cc vs 87cc. I wouldn't put a 42" bar on a 930, let alone the 820. Parts are hard to get for all these saws. They are getting old. Far as the 920 vs 930, the 930 will smoke a 920.

Yep I saw that one too.......42" bar is way to much for an 80cc saw.....nice bar though....and likely a decent saw but 24-32" is all it would want. But as CB said not the best choice if you want to depend on the saw to make money as parts are hard to come by and it is getting rather aged. Like all things, the more modern you get the more complicated and more dated saws become and much needed parts become NLA. Actually for everyday use an old Jonsereds 80, 801 or 90 that was in good shape I would deem more dependable/fixable with much longer production runs there are many more used and NLA parts to be found. But again 24-32" would be all they would want too unless you ran skip chain......and you're still dealing with an actual antique.....
