echo cs 310 es

[gnfencer]

Hi folks looking to replace my stihl 171, chainsaw with the above, I only need a light saw, for topping posts, dressing strainers, cutting notches in strainers, etc,

I read good things on here about echo saws as and the two year guarantee is very appealing.

Can get the echo for 200 quid plus VAT,

You can get a 171 less than 200 inc VAT. Are you unhappy with your current 171? If not you could buy a new one and keep your current one for spares. I haven't used the Echo your thinking of so can't comment, but the warranty would indicate a half descent saw for its class. There's a massive thread on this and some boys just bought Solos for similar sounding use. Check that out

Have a look at the solo 646, good saw for less than £200 and comes with a load of goodies too
