Getting my Jonsered 2253 Chainsaw Ready - A Relative of the Husqvarna 550XP

Replacing the bar and chain on my Jonsered 2253 chainsaw. This saw is essentially a red Husqvarna 550XP. I have a soft spot for Jonsered chainsaws as my father and I used to run an outdoor power equipment dealership selling them. Started that business in 2009.

Jonsered had been owned by Husqvarna for quite some time, so a lot of saws between companies had similarities. In the case of the 2253 vs 550XP, you can see basically the red plastics and cosmetics are the differences. Husqvarna has a 7 degree angle on the top of the handle and chain brake, while Jonsered is straight like a Stihl.

I enjoy many makes / models of saws. But I have to say I really like this 2253 and my 550XP as they are light weight, fast, and still powerful. I'll continue this series with getting my next saws ready, and soon I'll be all set for hobbyist firewood production at our land.

Thanks for watching!
