Echo or stihl

[Holly tree]

Same story I'm afraid,fed up with my 560 so going to buy a 620sx or 362 my local dealer can only do the 362 and I will have to order the 620 online so not sure about warranty work if needed.

 

The echo has nothing but praise on here how about the 362 ?

 

Do I stick with my dealer on buy a echo online.i will be buying 2 saws at the same time.

Although echos have a very good reliablility record I'd still be inclined to go for the dealer support above all else.

I'm swinging that way as it takes time to build a good relationship with dealers and these are the people we us day to day.

Not used one myself but have heard others say the 362 is a bit of a gutless lump .....

Yeah, the 620 is the gruntier of the two. 362 and Dol 6100 have a certain similarity - they feel powerful until buried in wood, then the 620 makes it obvious whose got the torque. Dol 6100 has unbelievable acceleration tho, insane 0-60 speed!

Know what you mean about the huskys , I had a 560 on site the other day ad a forestry mulcher ran over it , just saw the driver collecting about 30 different pieces , pmsl to be honest , hated the bloody thing , all I seem to see is lads trying to start huskys , don't get me started on the climbing saws either , my local husky mechanic even said there the crappiest saw ever made .

that is all.

I've come close to running it over with the valmet a few times but that said I loved it best saw I've ever had when working,just fed up of problems.

I have got a shop about 10 miles away but he wants £660 instead of £584 that's my yearly per of boots.
