I've been looking at Jonsered model 2250 or 2245 chain saws. I'm looking for one to replace my worn out Stihl 025. I see on Stihl's website that the MS250 is rated as a homeowners model. I've used my 025 hard since '01. I have a older Stihl 034 Super that I've using lately since the 025 quit. The 034 is a great saw, but it's heavy. So, has anyone out there have a Jonsered saw? What's your impression of them? If I did go back to a Stihl saw, it would be probably a MS270. The sad part is that the local Stihl dealer folded up last fall and now the closest dealer is 25 miles away. The Jonsered dealer is in the same town. I understand that Jonsered is made by Huskvarna and also that Stihl cheapen up their homeowners saws to compete with the lower price saws.
