My 25 yr old Pro Mac 700 finally died. I used it for pretty much everything. I also have a walmart Mccolluch that I bought used a 8 yrs ago that actually runs good, but is too small for what I need. I am looking for a 50-60 cc saw for my main cutter and have it narrowed down to the Stihl 290, Husky 545, or the Jonsered 2255. Wifey and I was at Tractor Supply yesterday, and the 2255 is on sale for $369 till the end of April. This was the first time I had ever looked at a Jonsered, and I kinda liked it. But I am leaning towards the 545, and the 290 in 2nd place. For the money though, I'm really being pulled towards that Jonsered. The only thing I didn't like was the straight handle. I really liked the angled handle on the the husky. I have several Stihl and Husky dealers within 30 miles, so service isn't a problem for those brands. I have several TSC stores within range, but the nearest Jonsered dealer is 90 miles away.
I will be looking for a felling saw in the fall so am looking in this particular size range. Any opinions are welcome
