By now, yes - but it wasn't always that way, as you surely know. :msp_wink:
In the early to mid 1970s Jonsereds made much better saws than Husky did, but it started to change from 1976 (162se) - and just after that Electrolux took control over both brands (+ more), and put Husky in lead. Jonsereds had problems with finding more modern and cheaper to make replacements for their (extremly high quality) earlier designs, and a lot of influence from both Husky and Partner was forced upon the brand.
From 1982 Husky started making (first Jonsereds, then Jonsered) the saws, and by about 1990 they made all decent models, regardless who originally made those models. The last Jonsered saws that wasn't designed by Husky was the 2055, 2077 and 2095 (early 2000s) - that all were a blend of Partner and Jonsered design, but made by Husky.
Yes like you say I surely know.
Been interested in all those take overs for a long time.
I was serious though about the area of the midwest that I live in having for all purpose's no Jonsered saws or dealers around here and never really did far as I know.
Must have been Tiltons fault?
Hey Niko, where does the 2094 fit in?

In a very short time frame in the early 1990s, before the 2095 took over. :msp_smile:

I have no idea who really is to blame for that, but I guess it is up to Husky to correct it, as they own the Jonsered brand?

The 2094/2095 were the last of the Jonsereds that had any Jonsered in them, now it is all HusqaREDMAX. Jonsered has been nothing but a house brand for a while and now it is without a house. Hard to believe that Husqvarna will direct distribute Jonsereds through exsisting dealers, be curious to see how that ends.
Always wondered if areas that had a strong Electro-lux Partner/Poulan position had any Jonsered dealers. Around here all were availible from small dealers, now only large Husqvarna/Redmax, hmmmmm, perhaps we should be calling them WAL-varna or Husq-mart.

It's my understanding that Tilton is/was the exclusive importer of Jonsered products for the Eastern U.S. and the Caribbean. Since you live in Nevada, you need to go to Jonsered's Western U.S. website (jonsered.com/us/west/) to find a dealer:
Dealers - Jonsered Dealer Locator - Find Jonsered Dealers - Western U.S.
The bad news for you is that there is nothing in southern Nevada. The closest dealer to you seems to be Norwalk Power Equipment near Los Angeles. Fortunately for you they do seem to have free shipping:
Jonsered Chainsaws - Norwalk Power
Quite frankly you would be better off buying a different brand with local dealer support. Jonsered dealers in the West are few and far between. It wasn't always like that. When I bought my Jonsereds back in 1983 there was good dealer support in Colorado (which is where I lived at the time). Now there is nothing in the part of Colorado where I used to live. The situation is also bad in the part of Washington where I now live, although we don't have any local Husky dealers either. We have a Dolmar dealer (!) and of course a Stihlership. I wish that Husqvarna had a better dealer network. In some parts of the U.S. the coverage is pathetic!

Your story is getting totally wrong when you mention the 2094 among the "last ones", it wasn't made late enough to be even close to the last ones, 10 years difference.
670 is close to the last real Jonsered.

Do you even know what an Iron Horse is?
Jonsered is the only one you can buy. No, Troll is right on this one. The 670 was one of the first Husky influenced saws in the lineup with designs dating back to 1983. The 2095, 2054, 2055 were the last of the Jonsered only models that shared no parts with a Husky saw. The 2095 doesn't even fit into that mold very well either as the top end was off the K950.

Regarding the Iron Horse, I am willing to bet that Tilton will still be selling these after the Jonsered move. Iron Horse are made by a different company and the ones in the US will probably have a different brand on them now.

Apparently not! :msp_ohmy: For some reason I thought he was interested in a chain saw, but apparently he is interested in one of those strange contraptions used to drag logs out of the woods. They're made by Lennartfors and marketed by Jonsered.

Thank-you, sir. I guess that's why you don't see too many of them. I'm glad I have one.

For anyone that cares, the 2094/2095s share parts with many Husqvarna saws, from clutchs to cranks, 181s-XX0Xs. Cases, some metal bits, handles, plastics were specific, the goodies could be sourced from other saws.
That part of them that makes them the last of the Jonsereds is where the parts are located or perhaps how they are arranged, course there was quite a bit of Partner in there as well, might see that on an IPL, maybe not.
The step from the 930s to the 2094s was not a big leap and 930s are not goodies specific as well.
930s were supposedly sitting on the shelf next to 2094s in 1990-91ish.
2095s were next to the 2094s in 1993/94, I think. Could have been 94/95.
The last of the 2095s around here were gone shortly after the horrible 2186 showed up, mid 2000s maybe?.
2095s were around $900-950.00 depending on bar length, could have been as much as $1150.00. 2094s were in the $800-950.00 range, depending on the mood of the dealer.
I do not remember for sure but I though the K950 showed up around the mid 90s.
Not at all postive on the dates, but a rough estimate. I know in 1999 it was all 2095s and the bulk of the 2094s were hard used parts machines. Hard saw to find in good shape but lots of beaters around. Usually a hodge podge of 94/95 parts these days when they pop up. The early shaped non decomp 94 cylinders are very hard to find in good condition.
I was talking to an ex-Jonsered dealer on Friday, in walks a customer with a very clean 670 Champ, needs a bit of attention. First time since it was purchased that it has failed to run correctly. Customer purchased the 670 and 2065, the 2065 collects dust. The 670 Champs were runners, and the Jonsered dealers around here sold a huge amount of them. Most need lots of work these days so they sit until parted out.

No, that was one of the first two to me both designed (basically) and made by Husky (630 and 670). Some cosmetics may have been designed by Jonsered, but not much more.
