Another what saw!!

[Elmsdown Forestry]

Evening all,

 

Looking at a saw for the harvester cab. I'm considering the echo 620 husky 560 or a 550xp. Will be for the odd fell and snedding big odd hairy tops. Can't decide on the best suited.

 

Had 2 560 in past and a562 so know how they handle but how do the others compare.

 

Cheers.

550 is a bunch lighter, will run an 18 just not as aggressive as the 560.

My 550 is an everyday saw

+1. Won't let you down.

A 60cc saw that seems to be popular on several forums I read is the Dolmar/Makita 6100. It seems to be a strong performer with an easy start feature. I believe one of the members/sponsors sells this model.

OK not 60cc but the Ms461 ticks all the boxes or the Ms361 as a good all-rounder but feels like a toy compared to the former ...

 

What's the matter husky boys? Afraid of the dark side!

+1 for Dolmar, purchased a few months ago with some great features, easy start & heated grip.
