Some parts does of course still cross referance all the way, but not really a lot of them. :msp_wink:

Tilton will still provide parts until Feb 15th to its current dealers

Ordered some parts on Friday. They plan to continue on past Feb 15 with their other products as long as the business is there. The field reps are gone, and I wonder about the tech guys. (Their service manager was really good.) But the girls in the office and some warehouse staff to ship orders should be OK.

I'm talking current parts that dealers can still order.
I highly doubt there are many, or any, Partner numbers still valid other than screws, etc.Talked to both my field rep and tech rep last week. Field rep is done, and the tech rep said he still has a job-but would not say for how long...............
I left Larry a voice mail message last week - hope he got it. Always enjoyed talking to him at shows and events.

Hey
Can one of you guys who is a dealer with Tilton or Jonsered try to get me some info on the remaining Iron Horses they have warehoused.
Either a 2090pro with winch or the 13hp with winch and bunk. I have a new 9hp now in Norway but I plan on getting one for US work also......
You can pm me if you like...
Thanks

Got my letter this past friday.
I have long been intrigued by the Iron Horse. How well do you like yours?

Iron Horse
I have around 15k hours on tracked Bobcats and I'll tell you the Iron Horse will go places other track machines wouldn't even consider.
Its amazing the terrain it will operate on. That being said it will not lift 2 tons 11ft in the air to load a truck as a T300 will. Its not going to feed a chipper ither.
For dragging logs out of those hard to reach places or for minimizing yard damage the Iron Horse can't be beat.
I've tried mini skid steers and there have been many arguments about whether the Iron Horse or Mini is better and hands down the Iron Horse is better. A mini skid will not go where the Iron Horse will not even close.
Being able to put the machine in the back of the pickup is nice too.
Most everyone in the US frowns on the Iron Horse just out of lack of experience with them. It was strange to me at first as well.
I've decided that I will always keep one around for tree jobs even though the bulk of the work will get done by the T300.
I've made a few gopro videos of it and I'll post them once I have footage that is decent.
Sorry to get off topic but with regard to the Jernhest/Iron Horse I love it. I have been working on a snow covered mountain here in Norway dragging logs back down a walking trail. The snow is the only way it is accessible at all. I have metal ice spikes on the tracks. It is very hard to walk up the trail almost impossible to walk it with a chainsaw in hand.

Thanks for the reply. I have long wanted to try one. I would pick an IronHorse up in an instant, If I ever found one in my price range.

Iron horse
Heres a quick video of how I usually load it. The pine is 20" by probably 15' or 16'.
It was -10 c and slippery so my video quality once walking was real bad so I haven't uploaded yet but I'll post more later. Below where the machine is back to the house is a rocky downhill switchback nightmare.
Just gives you an idea of what it will pull per trip...

Second is Husky may set Jred up with another distributor in the US instead of going direct.
There may be something to this rumor.
If you still have my number give me a call sometime after 9:00 this morning.

has anyone seen different shades of red on the jonsereds lately? i just bought a new 2152 a month ago. as he was installing my bar of choice i see the plastic parts are really dark red and the metal parts are more orange shaded red. i walked over to the shelf thinking i was gonna grab another instead, only to find every model in the store to be this way?

Just got a letter from Husqvarna today that stated new distributors are being established.
