I have been running the 2260 for last couple weeks. Only complaint on it is the bucking spikes. I am used to 7900/6100/5105 dogs and after running those saws and jumping to a 2260 I am constantly cussing the lack of useful bucking spikes. that $750 price tag sitting right beside a 6100/6400 for $539 is going to be a hard sell imo. Realistically the 2260 would sit on my shelf for $699 but it is still a big jump in price

Really think a "sleeper" saw is the 2258. (essentially a 555) For under 600 dollars and also the 2166 for similar money. The Pro's will need 2172's and 2188's and they are less money then the Stihl competition. The hard part is selling off brand saws to Pro's...so part is giving them the confidence that Jonsered is "Husqvarna" enough the entire Husqvarna support & supply mechanism also applies to them if they have a "Pro Level" Jonsered such as a 2172. Tractor Supply here has the 2240,2245,2250s, 2255, and 2166 for list prices. The local Tractor Supply stocks 2166's but sell them for $700 dollars. Leaves saws like 2252 (545) and 2253 to compete with the smaller 340-350 (2240-2250s) homeowner based saws doesn't it. They haven't stocked any of the "Auto Tune" 500 series saws yet.

So Does the 2252,2253,2258,2260,2172,2188 complement your other lines?
