good for you. And I know differently..from experience. a lot more than you have.i mean if Jred wants to sponsor me in the tree with a new 2139 top handle i will take it and run the pants off it. and then give an honest opinion of said tophandle. but seeing how they are not going to send me one i am going to go with what i know to be THE saw to use as a climber.
someone on this site tell jred to send me a saw. i'll let you know if she can run or not.
Sounds like a real winner. Wish I could try one out.
RB how many 335's did you have before you found a good one???
I had two that ran good after all the updates and bugs were worked out. Had to pull teeth to get someone to buy them...
.
Isn't there a Husky dealer in Victoria? Same saw...338...or I'll get you a 2139, we could meet somewhere. Going to Boise?
I had three of the first generation saws. One was real fast, one Ok, and only one was really unreliable as I recall. But none of those early saws started easily, idled consistently, or oiled well. Then I had Walker's sell me a modded saw which ran well for at least two years before it started acting up...and prolly a couple more that were just OK..by then the oiler was the new unit that worked. They improved the case tank venting system and that helped them.
The 338 I had Dan Henry mod ran OK for quite some time but was never fast. It was working OK last year till it got legs.
Time will tell if this 2nd 335 Cali runs consistently. I'm pretty sure the 2139 will, as others have said their's are doing well.
The only saw that really wore out was the super fast 335 that I got from Rich Hoffman for $40. It ran rock solidly for 3 years, now it's bearings are bad. If the cylinder is good, and it looks OK, it might be worth a rebuild--bearings, seals, rings, maybe a piston. They really are bombproof, and now that they run reliably, they should gain market share, if some of the folks that gave up on them would give them another chance.
Think Husky or Jonsy should be paying me?
By the way, of the three 020 AV's I had, only one was rock solid...........and the 020T's had a problems before they sorted out the carb issues.
Yup...so I read this post of yours, and it seems to say Stihl is going to let another saw die on the vine. All the Stihlheads will keep buying them, while meanwhile the other mfgrs seem to have bettered them. Just like the MS260. Dunkin' Donuts now makes a better 50cc saw than Stihl, but the 260 keeps selling, right Tommy?
Who cares if the other mfgrs are "finally getting it right." In the highly technical terms used by specialists in the field, the past is what they call "history." What matters is what's the best saw now. Personally, I really don't have that answer, and won't pretend I do...I've never used either saw, and likely won't ever. But it sounds to me like the Stihl heads are using outdated, inferior equipment if you ask me.
So stick THAT in your craw and smoke it!! :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Good point. Seems the new little Husky, J'reds and the Dolmar are getting good reviews but while they were finally getting it right the 200T was in the woods working and flying off the shelves for years. In Virginia the 200T rules, they seem to be on every truck in the biz, including the electric companies, phone companies too. Some like facts, such as Woodie, so here's a fact, more 200Ts are sold each year than all other tops handle saws combined, nuff said, the public has spoken. All the Jonny come latelys are too late(that was for you Woodie,hehehehe)
