All right fellas, Ima get busy prepping and shipping!

I’ll try to remember to check in the next couple days but I think the small Husky flippy cap fits. I’m almost positive I saw a pic of the bigger flippy in the 2511 gas hole too. Oops, meant to reply to the one above 😜

You got it.

Hi again! I got tracking numbers that say the next shipment of JonCutter 2511 will be here the 25th! These are the ones that will have the full works and shipping for $99 (plus tax in Ohio ☹️). I have some orders to fill and about a dozen up for grabs.

Early on there were a few V-Mods that had pin holes in the lines around the area of those tiny clamps, like the worker nicked them or pinched them when putting the clamps on. You can test a little by gently pinching a line shut with needle nose plyers and pumping the bulb. The bulb forces gas...

As a brand these saws are too new to gage reliability. But since they are mechanically identical to the V-Modest I would call them nearly indestructible. Early on V-Mod had some starters come apart but that’s really the only failure I’ve heard of. Everything else I’ve seen or heard about was...

So over the last few weeks I’ve had the chance to go over quite a few of these JonCutter 2511 saws. While by and large they are pretty darn good right out of the box, there were a few little bugs common to almost every one. The biggest problem is flashing in the air filter. This is a problem on...

This afternoon I sold the last three stock 2511s I had. A big thank you to everyone who supported us. As soon as my next order of JonCutters gets here I’ll post it up here first right after I fill the pre orders. These will be at $99 with the full prep treatment. In the meantime I do have 3...

V-Modest has one on ebay right now, I have a few in stock and I will have parts list for the JonCutter hopefully soon and I will stock up on more. Best thing to do now is just be careful with the one you have. I clean mine by popping it apart and blowing from inside out with gentle compressed...

The S&H saws are definitely the same as the OEMs. I saw a company history on one of Farmertec's web sites telling how they started out in 2008 making parts for Stihl and Husky as an OEM supplier for the China. As those parts came off patent or FT was granted rights to make, they started offering...

I'm not going to defend China by any means but these little saws are different from the OEM saws in almost every way. It's like saying a Ford copied a Chevy. They look the same and function the same but the tires are the only interchangeable parts. The only parts on these saws that will...

Well with the new JonCutter in the mix I now have 3 brands of the 2511 with V-Modest and KNK Power. The KNK is a little different than the other two and nice saw. It was the first one I carried. But I need the room so I’m dropping it. I think I have 9 left and I’m going to blow them out at $70 a...

Here’s a post I did a while back with my original Zenoah RedMax from 2003. Back then Zenoah was owned by Komastu, the heavy equipment company. They used the RedMax name for the US but the rest of the world got the Zenoah brand name. At the time the G2500 was the lightest saw in the world. They...

My first V-Modesst took every bit of 10 tanks full to reach its maximum power.
