Neighbor stopped by last week looking for a small chain saw, said he would trade his big saw since it was too hard for him to start. Had a little Poulan 1800 I had been intending to work on, so today I replaced the fuel line, filter, and spark plug and put an almost new 14" bar and chain on it. Took it over to him and he comes out with a Jonsered 620, 20" bar in great shape. I think I did okay. I did tell him I would let him have it back if he changed his mind.

Yes you did good but if he got rid of a saw he couldn’t handle and got one he can run then he did good as well. Sounds like a good deal both ways. Good on you offering him the big saw back if he wanted.

I've had a couple of Jonsered saws really liked them, someone else liked them too, as they disappeared.

I've got a 120 volt Rementon no gas to mix, only a cord to roll out.

I've got a old all metal Remington electric. I love it, it runs great and stronger than these plastic things now days. Have only replaced the trigger switch and brushes once. Electric cords are kind of limiting though.

I run Stihls and love them but have heard great things about the Jonesred. That's a great swap, obviously in your favor, but good on you for agreeing to swap back if he wanted.
While I like a smaller bar for limbing and smaller work, also kind of prefer having a bigger saw so it can handle anything you step into. And be careful and wear those chaps and protective gear! Several spots on my chaps that could have been possible stitches without them!

i use a Dolmar 420 w/14" bar. Good little saw but servicing dealers for that brand can be hard to find. It cuts most of my firewood. when out with the son and son-in-law who both run big Makitas (Dolmar in disguise) when they get tired, and branch work needs to be done, the 420 is preferred. R.
