fox digger 1,086 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 yep thats it jonsered Super saw, them and huskys are the same saw, all parts interchange on same modles. We run husky, (266xp) jonsered (2055 turbo) and an old stihl (038 farm boss). Huskys are the fastest running of all the saws. Few lads from round here are over at timber in germany and all they use are big huskys with small bars, fastest combination possible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
