My "red" dealer stock only chainsaws and related products from Jonsered - but that is of course in Norway, not in the US. Everything else he has (and that is a lot, including farm tractors) are other brands.

That was directed at 'woodchuck'r'. He's having a one-sided argument with himself. My comment was intended as a joke.

If the voices in is head could post, it wouldn't seem so strange
Or be a two page thread.
WoodChuck'r will never be lonely because he always has some body to talk to, maybe even several somebodies.

Just heard some more rumors from a Husky rep, thirdhand of course.
First the story of how the Jred amputation went down, seems Tilton wasn't happy with the big orange mothership putting little red in TSC, so they were going to part ways with husky, but husky says no problem as we already had plans to part with you.
Second is Husky may set Jred up with another distributor in the US instead of going direct.

I highly doubt they want to introduce a new "partner" to share the profits with - but we will see....

That's what I have heard. Another distributor that handles other Husqvarna owned brands.

I'm thinking NOT.
All of the saw product codes and pricing are already in the weborder system. They just haven't released them for shipping yet. I've already ordered and received some Jonsered 2255 parts from Husky. IE, all of this stuff is already being stocked and inventoried by Husky. I doubt they'd go through the effort to do this if there were plans to hand it off to another distributor. And as hamish pointed out, it's all coming from mother orange up in Canada.

Oddly enough a while ago one of the Husq dealers started being able to order Jonsered parts while not being a Jonsered dealer, they just popped up when he was doing a cross refer search. So he ordered some plastics, chain brake flags, etc. for one of the local companies. Came in with his normal Husq order.. . did it a couple more times, everybody was happy since no one deals Tiltons around here any more.
Then it stopped. No longer availible. Still not. Oh well, TSC did so well with EFCO maybe that dist will be the new off brand Husq dealer.
As it sits now would a local Husqvarna dealer have to do the warranty service for the Jonsereds sold at TSC. They do not do the Poulans or Macs. TSC will sell waaaaaay more Jonsereds than any of the local Tilton dealers ever did, they sell way more Husqvarnas already.
Every once in a while the weborder system does some strange things, espcially when an "upgrade" takes place. Many times one can order something normally not available to them, them eventually the system catches up.
A local dealer would only do warranty work on some of the other brands if the have signed on to do so.

Has anyone CONFIRMED that Tractor Supply will be selling Jonsered? I can't see Tractor Supply deciding to take away such a well known name as Husqvarna in favor of the Jonsered brand of saws which has nowhere near the brand recognition.
I clicked through this thread and couldn't find any confirmation that Jonsered will end up in Tractor Supply. Just trying to keep the story straight.
Thanks.

Was Tilton getting there inventory directly from Sweden? Most likely not, just a Husqvarna warehouse on the east coast of the US.
Funny that when we had the distribution system up here for Jonsered , my nearest warehouse was Husqvarna at one door and Jonsered around the corner at the next door all under the same roof. Always burned my backside seeing both orders on the same truck and paying two seperate shipping charges.
For ####z and giggle see if you can now order some non-EPA approved goodies.
Jonsered, Husqvarna and Poulan are sold at every TSC in Canada.
All these names and more all go together, brand recognition with benefits for the lesser brands in the family.
TSC should close its doors in Canada as its no where near the TSC in the US.
Not to mention Lowes, they got rid of the discount for veterans.
