What about the angle of the front handlebar?
I may be wrong, but I think it runs streight across the saw on the Jred, resulting in a less than ideal grip when cutting vertically using it right handed.

You`re absoulutely right, and I consider that an ergonomic deficiency, but when I mentioned this in another thread a person offered the retort that they prefer a straight across handle.

The red and black Jonnies sure are pretty![img width=400 --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!--.com/albums/v653/groundsforum/2159_357xp_359.jpg[/img]

They sure are!

It is a great pity that they screwed up with the front handlebars.

The "excuse" I have seen for that design was that it made it possible to use the handlebar as "gunning sight" when felling.......

If one holds the handles on the starter side of the saw one sees the benefits of "bent " handles.
