Sometimes there are other issues and that's the cover a dealer will use.
QuoteSometimes there are other issues and that's the cover a dealer will use.That would be my first thought too. A dealer is trying to swing a customer over to a different brand that he/she is pushing. Company incentives are sometimes at play as well. I get nervous dealing with a dealer that carries more than one brand. But just may be me.
What in particular? Tilton seems to be very responsive to my dealer. I order stuff frequently. The only times I see issues are with new saws as the business year translates from one model year to the next as some dealers pre-order or buy a floor plans. Once that stock gets sold then its about what the distributors have left in their stock..between model years while the distributor is waiting on their shipments, if they have sold all their saws..they all have to wait. There are new product offerings in the works as well..the Jonsered version of the 555/562 line is supposed to happen sometime..who knows when ..that's their 2260..(I will buy one BTW) Other product lines may be adjusted as a result..but that's all brands.On really old stuff, things will go out of production, for example parts for the 630 series are getting hard to find...anywhere. But asking a J-red dealer to stock parts for a 25 year old product line isn't reasonable. Its like parts for a Husqvarna 262 or Stihl 032AV. Interestingly enough I find good aftermarket solutions to my Jonsered 820/920 habit and my 268/272/630/670 habit...and those are early 1980's saw! I haven't heard or seen any issues to this point out side the norm for any brand, and I just bought a new Jonsered saw and continually rebuild older ones. So what in particular is the issue? Sometimes if a dealer is out of stock other dealers can help, what can"t you get? What dealer can't get his stuff? Sometimes there are other issues and that's the cover a dealer will use. Are you trying to buy something that is sold out? Are the dealers negotiation new floor plans for the year and your caught in the middle? But without specifics these are just hypothetical conversations.My bet if you need something there are several dealers who frequent this site who can help.
I just checked availability of a clutch cover for a 372 today ( I work at a shop) and its out of stock in the Maritimes until mid March.I had one in stock but wanted to use it and replace it.Husky has had very high turnover in the last year or 2 and the new people have no idea about stock control,how could they.

You can only have so much inventory especially at tax time.Here in Canada you pay a tax on it even though you paid when you bought it and will pay again when you sell it. Chris
I just love these threads that "suggest" some mysterious behind the scenes story, but are devoid of the facts to confirm the suggestion. Only saw I know of currently on backorder is the 2166, and there is a container due by the end of the month. Only have 2 Jonsered parts on backorder; top spring mount for a 2054 and a top handle for a 2188. Only extended saw backorders over the past year have been for model changovers as with the 2171/2172 and 2165/2166. And this was the same with their Husky counter parts. That same deal will be repeating itself as there will no doubt be a gap between the outgoing 2156/2159 and the arrival of the 2258/2260.There were also some supply issues due to the Irene and Lee storms that battered the Northeast this past fall. This sort of thing happens with any major weather event. Could be saws, snow blowers, generators. Nothing out of the norm.
You beat me to the punch on the storm thats all we heard last year: common how long do you use that as a crutch not a whole year??? When are they going to the new models?????Quote from: Spike60 on January 20, 2012, 07:55:03 amI just love these threads that "suggest" some mysterious behind the scenes story, but are devoid of the facts to confirm the suggestion.

Jocco; your post #17 shows that further effort on this thread will only be a waste of time, so this will be my final comment. Really only to clear this up for the other more level headed members. Any shortages due to the storm 4 months ago, (not a year), are long since passed. It is not being used as, nor is there a need for a crutch. Instead of using a saw, why not use your ax? You know, the ax you have a need to grind here.

This sort of thing happens with any major weather event. Could be saws, snow blowers, generators. Nothing out of the norm.I guess what I find interesting is we STILL don't know what it is user "jocco" can't get his hands on. A "here say issue" we would like the opportunity to solve...with NO specific situation to solve. So here we are, a few happy customers and a dealer type or two trying to solve a hypothetical problem with no actual issue to solve, After a while you begin to wonder if there is an actual issue the user in fact wants solved!....sounds like politics or competitive marketing to me; where someone throws a hay maker..misses, thereby defining both the discussion and perception, then everyone trys to figure out what happened.. So to try and bring this out of pride issue and back to actual issue...what is it you need and can't get? My bet is several here who have responded can help you ..if you would let them.
Whatever.Now if your thread started with "Where can I get a 2159 or 2171?" you might have a different response...The new 2260 obsoletes the 2159 as was stated. My guess is there won't be any more 2159's once the 2260 is in the pipeline same as the Husqvarna 357/59 series now that the 555/562 series is out. Model changes do that. Same with 2171 vs. 2172's. If you want to buy a 2159 bet there are some with them on the shelf. My bet is that wasn't the goal here to begin with. Post like this usually aren't about solving an issue.I plan to buy a 2260 when they arrive...and I know 2166 & 2172 are very available, even saw a New 2166 on ebay! BTW why would one buy a 2159 instead of a 2166 anyway?
