Looking at buying a new saw, 50-55cc and not from the Husky or Stihl stables. Will get moderate use as a smaller ground/bucking/felling saw and I have the choice of Makita (not Dolmar), Echo and Shindaiwa. Have had the Makita 5600 on trial and its actually really nice but am aware it's not a fully commercial saw. Suggestions, real world experiences etc. please and thanks.

we have been pleased with the 501sx from echo, i think that is 50cc we run them on 16 inch bars and they seem a nice reliable small go to saw.

Why not Stihl or Husky?
