Jonsered coming to TSC

[daugen]

Jonsered - Professional Performance. Professional Quality. For More Than 50 Years.

Coming Soon

Available Monday, April 29th


This is interesting. One way to be able to charge a little more is to carry a line just about
no one else has...
I'm not a chain saw guru, but my understanding is this is a good brand.
One more thing to look at when we go to Tractor Supply for those hitch pins that
disappear in the night.

I've had one for about 20 years and have had no problems at all.

Are they ditching Huskies?

 

[schoolsout]

Are they going to be the same caliber as those sold at dealers or is it going to be similar to Wal Mart products where the product is cheapened to meet pricing needs?

My dad bought a J-red to replace his balky Homelite in the mid 70's. I remember he paid what I thought was insane money for it at the time. Soon after the purchase, I was put in charge of feeding the Vermont Castings Vigilant and my opinion that he overpaid changed after the first red oak was felled. It was a compact, powerful, reliable saw. Hope that hasn't changed.

J-Reds are a good saw, but really a rebadged Husqvarna. Most (but not all) Husqvarna models have an equivalent Jonsered model. There are some minor differences, such as the angle of the front handle, and some Husqvarna models have a larger air filter with a high top cover. It should give Jonsered some good exposure, but judging by the homeowner models TSC carries in the orange saws, I'd guess they will only be carrying the homeowner grade Johnny Reds also..... unfortunately.

A big box store is no place to buy a chain saw. I want a actual servicing dealer to be there to stand behind my purchase if I have a problem. Got my Stihl from a dealer that only sells Stihl and Husky saws, no lawnmowers or powertools. He really knows saws.

I like the my dad stories, I think we all have one. My dad bought his 451 from a dealer on Christmas Eve in 1981 I think. That saw has ran trouble free for years!! I would have one myself but the nearest j-red dealer is 100 miles from here. That saw cleaned alot of land and put me through college. Hands down one of the best all around saws I have come across.

Do not purchase anything serious at TSC. They will carry something for awhile and then it disappears. Look at the number of welding suppliers they have had. They are still better then Quality Farm and Fleet which diappeared as a company.

 

[Red Bull]

Stihl is the bestest.

 

[traktorz]

Chains and bars and sprockets you can buy anywhere. For a Husqvarna, Jonsered or McCulloch (sold at big box stores) saw you can even buy Oregon, or Carlton branded. Stihl has their own unique mount, so can be a bit harder to find third party replacements. Carburetor gaskets and membranes can easily be found on eBay, given you're possessing fair mechanic skills.

Stihl is the bestest.

Maybe in YOUR opinion.

So what stihl do you own BTW??

I don't own one but my dad has some. A 088, MS261, 044, 034, MS441, and a MS660. His favoritr all around saw is the 441.

 

[LD1]

So just because your daddy likes stihls, and you have probably never even ran anything but a stihl, that automatically makes them the best???

How do you know whats is best unless you have tried them all??

Take a piece of paper, write on it Red Bull, Tractor By Net, and todays date.
Line up all 6 of those saws, place above mentioned piece of paper where it can be read in the picture with the 6 saws above.
Post that picture back to this thread.
Otherwise, I call BS on you.
Prove me wrong with the picture and I will be sure to apologize publically, never bother you again, and I donate $25 in your honor to St. Jude children's hospital.

I am thinking Dusty might have busted him

Stihl is the bestest.

pretty hard to take anything seriously after this statement.
But just to be fair, albeit dubiously....
The poster is a MD farmer and he may be speaking "the truth", the same way
so many do the Chevy/Ford/Dodge "bestest" approach.

Hard to believe this farm has that many chain saws no matter what brand. Maybe these are the models his
father has owned over the years. Just conjecture, not a lot of into here for sure.
But I do believe there was reason for some serious head scratching here...
