Replacing all my saws

[tim361]

This morning I made the unfortunate discovery that I was broken into last night. Cleared out all my saws, two blowers, and my climbing kit. I’m going to have to replace all my saws, previously I had

MS150

MS200

MS260

346XP

MS361

MS461

MS600

I had spent quite a while getting saws that didn’t have the electronic wizardry that I’ve not got on with. All the saws I’ve had previously with electrics have had gremlins that would mean the wouldn’t start/run right a lot of the time. So I may look at replacing the whole lot with Echo or Dolmar stuff. Any one have good or bad experiences with the stuff and can recommend certain saws I can replace the above list with?

cheers all

Sorry to hear that.

If I had the same happen to me I'd get a mix of echo and dolmar/makita

Probs:
Echo 2511 (ms150 upgrade)
Echo 361tes (ms200, less zingy but reliable)

Dont know about mid range 50cc saws, probs try the echo, wasnt blown away by dolmar/makita 50cc saw, not to bad though

Husky 365 20" ( no AT)

Dolmar /makita 7901 ( belter of a 80cc saw)

Not tried 660 equivalent of Makita dolmar 9100, dont think echo make anything above 80cc?

Hope you get on your feet soon bud

It might be worthwhile speaking to shavey on here he's got a thread somewhere on saws sorry to hear about the situation

sorry to hear about your break in.

 

echo 501sx is a great small saw ( no elec carb)

we have run  201tcms and a husky 560 for a good while now with next to no running problems, maybe you just got unlucky with your elec carb saws??

any way hope you source some good saws and get back cutting soon.

That's bad. There's a good chance someone on here will be offered one of your saws at some point.

Have any of them got any identifying features?

[tim361]

The 200t has been ported by spud so has his sticker on top and a 14” bar with orange lanyard and a ct karabiner. 

The 346xp was virtually new very little wear and tear and has a 15” Sugi hara bar on it. 

The 361 has a brand new 3/4 wrap handle and side case with large felling spikes. Had an orange 18” bar on it (can’t remember the make)

The 660 was also in virtually brand new condition. Like the 346 I had just spent a small fortune buy NOS saws.

Makes you mad! I was offered a saw once, while working. Pretty sure it was knock off.

I just declined it, but I really wanted to quiz them. Probably wouldn't of ended well. I take it you're insured. Hope you get sorted. Be nice to get what is yours back. I will certainly let you know if anyone offers one of yours to me or anyone I know
