Stihl 150T chainsaw attachement point

Do you have the smallest 25cc echo, compatible to the 150? If so, how do you rate it for vibration?

Yes, the tiny one, haven’t noticed the vibes tbh, so probably pretty good!

Buy an echo, brilliant little saw

I have both saws.  The Echo is more powerful but the Stihl more ergonomic for me.  I think I prefer the Stihl for this reason.  If I want a powerful saw I use my 201.

we use both, Echo's aint good for AV, but with the small saws, theres no difference. My 150t attachment has ripped out for the umpteenth time, this time totally. Great saw, but this fault has been ignored by Stihl for years....just one reason why all my saws are going over to Echo now....after 23 years, my love affair with Stihl is OVER!

What echo dealer do you find best?

Can't help feeling if echo could sort parts delivery timing out they'd be blowing competition out the water....i have a 360tes and a 2700es and 2600es for carving and they are great bit the 6 week waiting time on parts has meant i can't fully switch to them

Complacency.  Unfortunately many big names suffer from this, when they should really start listening to the end user.

The opposite for me, really like the handle on the echo, different strokes and all that!

So here’s my fix.  There’s a recess hidden away inside the saw which you can find when you take the side casing off.  Threaded a quickdraw sling through and out a shackle on it to stop it coming out.  Job done

I can really recommend the Edelrid AntiTwist for loops.

Slims things down a bit.
I use them for my speed kit.

Anyone got a fix/hack for this?  Mine popped out for the 3rd time today.  

Have you replaced it? Or put the same one back in? I only say this because when mine went I lost the loop and had to buy  new one. The replacement part has much longer ends on it! Had no probs since the new part!
