which is the better deal

[kwikrp]

a stihl o11AV with a 16inch bar for $100
a echo 440 for $150
a jonsered 2063 turbo for $150

also saw a brand new poulin at Lowes its yellow not green and is the professional grade ( supposedly) it was a 42 cc for $199 but for that price there was a husky 32cc any opinions ?

Jonsered hands down out those choices. If its in good shape.

No offense to any of those saws brother but if I were you I keep saving my dough for a couple more weeks...unless of course you want to know as 'kwikrp the limber'.

JONSERED 2063 Turbo chainsaws 62.4 cc 4.6 hp 13.2 lbs
Thats a bit more than a little limbing saw.

How old are these saws?

I've held, and used an Echo 440, and it's a good quality saw.

Does Jonsered still make the 2063?

 

[savageactor7]

You're right it's all of that back in day...guess I'm thinking it's a tired saw pretty sure it goes back to the mid 90's. I'm just very leary of used chain saws...most guys I know that got 'em for serious cutting end up trading up for newer saws...it's always something. You cut with a bunch of guys and it's always your saw that goes down ...it can be a real ball buster.

What are you aiming to do with the saws? Those are three entirely different machines, hardly apples-apples. Knowing your intended use will guide the decision process a bit better than just looking at a list of three different saws in the <200$ range.

And there are NO current Poulan/Homelite/Sears/McCulloch chainsaws that are "professional" and none that are worth buying.

a echo 440 for $150
a jonsered 2063 turbo for $150 for me it would be between these 2 saws

I am looking for a versitile saw for firewood. This would include cutting down some trees, cutting up fallen tree and cutting it up into firewood.

 

[smokinj]

Echo would be the easiest to find parts for and get work on. What size tree you plain on felling?

 

[Mass. Wine Guy]

Jonsereds are very good saws, but it's a bear to find parts for them because the U.S. importer doesn't know how to run the business. I'd go for the Echo.

I like my echo for felling and bucking.. I would like to have another 011 as a climbing saw. If its in good shape and you pass on it, let me know I could send you the money and have you send me the saw.. BTW, the "new" 011 saws (ms192t) goes for 300plus around here. The echo retails for 299 and I have no input on the Jr.. Good luck..
