I can NOT find any big saws by Jonsered on-line!!! NONE!! Only small saws!! I think Electrolux which owns Jonsered and Husky, has cut the Jonny line!!! Correct, just buy a husky, it's the same as a redmax or jonsered saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are the same saw as Husky, but I don't like Husky's angled handle. I see now that Jonsered is now REDMAX. I can't understand why they did that. If I ever look for another saw, I'll go Red MAx, although I believe Stihl is a great saw also. All three are the best saws going. Here's to many chainsaws in the barn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't go redmax, the saw line is not going to be around much longer so parts will be hard to source..Was at a redmax dealer last week ordered a side cover for a saw, an orange husky side cover was shipped, so the guy now has a nice red saw with an orange side cover now..Total cob job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gettin' so old, they will probably outlive me. I don't think I'll need another saw, but if If I do, maybe I'll look at a Stihl. Actually, I want the Stihl 880 Magnum, just for show, but I only have one helper who would ever see the beast, so it probably isn't worth tying up $2000.00 for a freakin' saw that nobody will see!!! Here's to numerous chain saws, and Oregon grinders!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 fortunately my kids are adults because my wifes a boot licker and prob would have tried to vax them where i would not have. at 50-60-70 not much real risk IMO of the vax vs the higher risk of the covid. for younger choice is up to them. I had 1 kid get it and 1 did not. He got it to travel freely as he wants to go back to Korea and to Canada in the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I have a good scar on my right knee from a Johnny 2040 turbo from way back in my high school days. I only run Stihl now. Oh and vaccinate everything! Remember when they were trying to tell you that your pets could spread it? Even your groceries? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Husky saws have worked well for me...got two now. Also, going to get my pets vaccinated now. It’s been a struggle to make them wear masks this whole time. Be safe out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an acquaintance on face book who does exactly that. She leaves her groceries out in the garage for 2-3 days then wipes everything down with Lysol wipes before she brings any of it in. The thing is she keeps posting about covid exposing her outright anxiety for everyone to see, but with hardly any one (1-2, maybe?) commenting or liking her posts, she keeps at with at least 3-4 posts a week totally oblivious to how idiotic she looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. Let her do her thing. She's not hurting anything except her own mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most others, I don't hit like nor say a thing, I just keep on scrolling on. The thing is, despite this, she is a good person so it saddens me to see how badly she has been gut hooked, and continues to be, despite what has been presented right in front of her eyes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
