Sorry! Need saw selection advice


Coin

Recommended Posts

Another advice thread, here I go,

 

 

I want something around 60cc and to manage up to 18inch bar. I already have a 346xpg but that keeps the 15inch on all the time. I'll be cutting Douglas Fir, Ash and sycamore mainly.

 

I'm not professional but want the best saw for use most weekends and evenings. I've read nearly all the threads on here but just want to firm up in my own mind what I should get. I don't want hassle and reports of problems with autotune are leaving me to move away from 560xp or 562xp even though the retailer is very close by.

 

I can get a Dolmar 6100 for 750€, retailer again very close by and reliable.

Alternatively, I've looked at getting an Echo CS 620sx for 825€, retailer an hour or so away.

 

If you were spending my money, what would you get based on what the criteria are? I know I've not mentioned Stihl or other manufacturers but if you can think of something else worth looking at feel free to advise me.

I have read good reviews of the 6100 and the 620. I have no personal experience with either, but I believe I would get the 6100 of those 2 based on the opinions I have seen expressed by those who have used both.

 

I've used both and both feel lumpy compared to 560 etc.

 

620sx for me but its very very close like Sugihara vs Tsumura.
