    You wouldn't be the first Husky shop I've seen thriving down the street from competing brands with brighter showroom lights. ;)

    When I was in the biz, we catered to commercial customers. The most experienced techs worked on the commercial equipment, we prioritized commercial accounts and then prioritized that category again based on need and what we could turn around the fastest. I did plenty of relatively minor repairs with a ZTR or smaller jammed into the bay (or outside, weather permitting) alongside someone's compact tractor in for major work. Never let commercial equipment sit for a minute longer than necessary. The experienced guys were also keeping an eye on the "kids" (we were pretty young ourselves actually) working on homeowner equipment. Word spreads quick among the commercial cutters if you can put a machine back to work for them faster than most.

    The best part is I am a one man operation so quality is easy to control and if my commercial customers need something they have always taken priority many a late night fixing equipment for the next morning JB

    It is a special kind of jaded when you are routinely checking to make sure you have enough 550s and 572's in stock and don't even give it a second thought. :saw:

    Mostly a mix of old Homelites,a few Jonsered,and some huskys I ran Stihl over the years,but when I started Logging and clearing I started running Jonsered and never went back to stihl I just like the balance and the jonsered/husky air filter system was much better JB

    JB, I bought a Jonsered about 8 years ago and immediately bought another as they started a lot easier than my Stihls. Plus they were reported to be higher rpm. Anyway, is it true Jonsereds are out of business? Your sign looks fantastic and I wish you all the luck in the world.

    So if I see a Jonsered still in my TSC ? Should I buy one? I’ve been thinking of buying one. Getting a hankering for a new saw!
